RIPPLING RIVER RESCUE
Sponsor a Resident

They won't thank you personally. We will, enthusiastically, on their behalf.

Meet the herd
Each of these animals has a story. Now they have a home.
Pig
Wilbur
Loveable. Hay-Covered. Suspiciously Cuddly.
Wilbur lived his whole life as an only pig, so when he joined our crew he had some adjusting to do. He and Ripply have been known to snuggle on extremely rare occasions — rare enough that we document it like a solar eclipse. Every morning he emerges from his shelter wearing half a bale of hay, shakes it off with zero shame, and comes charging out the second he hears Shannon's voice because peanuts, booty rubs, and Shannon are basically his entire personality. Honestly? Same, Wilbur.
Goat
Popcorn
Big. Bossy. Irresistible.
Meet Popcorn: one of our largest and oldest goats and a walking contradiction. He'll shamelessly block the entire shelter entrance so the other goats get soaked in the rain, then immediately melt into your hands the second a human offers pets — standing completely still like he could do this forever. He's a rare breed in more ways than one — the most lovable butthole we've ever met, and we mean that with our whole hearts.
Alpaca
Gracie
Cautious. Gentle. Sprinkler-Obsessed.
Gracie is a retired breeder who arrived from Wenatchee with her three sisters, traded in her old life for sunshine and sprinklers, and never looked back. She's gentle and a little cautious around people — she'll decide when she's ready, thank you very much — but hot days bring out her wild side courtesy of whoever turns the sprinkler on. When she's not doing that, she's perfecting the art of lying in the sun so completely motionless that we have collectively lost years off our lives playing "Guess If I'm Dead or Alive." Gracie thinks it's hilarious.
Human
Ben
Funny-Adjacent. Animal-Obsessed. Snack-Driven.
Meet Ben, co-founder, head of daily animal care, and the man behind the corn husk hat you see before you. Ben thinks he's funnier than he is, loves animals significantly more than people, and has approximately one million great ideas that are going great so far. He complains about chores constantly and then gets visibly sad if he's away from the farm for more than 24 hours. His preferred treats are beer, popcorn, and sandwiches — in no particular order. Your sponsorship dollars help keep Ben fed and slightly delusional, and we couldn't do any of this without him.
