About Us
Zuma's Rescue Ranch is a 501(c)3 nonprofit behavioral health provider and animal welfare organization. We have been serving at-risk youth and their families in the Denver Metro area since 2008. Our mission is to provide life-saving rehabilitation and sanctuary to homeless animals and pair those animals with troubled humans in an animal-assisted therapy setting.
We rescue abused and neglected horses through law enforcement seizures, owner surrenders, purchases from auctions for slaughter, and in partnership with other rescue organizations. Once safe, we begin the rehabilitation and training process to work toward a goal of adoption, lease, or sponsorship. Horses who are deemed “unadoptable” due to age or lameness are provided long-term sanctuary so they may live out their remaining life in peace and with dignity.
