Volunteer

Black Beauty Ranch offers various volunteer opportunities at our organization.  Black Beauty Ranch (BBR), part of the Humane Society of the United State, is one of the largest and most diverse sanctuaries in the United States.  The mission of BBR is to provide a lifelong safe-haven for animals (bison, equine, domestic farm animals, exotic wildlife, primates and more) who have been rescued from abuse, cruelty, neglect and exploitation.  BBR is accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and is a member of the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) and the Big Cat Sanctuary Association.  These organizations are comprised of top-notch sanctuaries whose mission is to advance and advocate for the welfare of the animals in their care. 

Our volunteer program is for those who are you at least 18 years old and looking for a way to make a difference for the lives of rescued animals.  Volunteering at Black Beauty Ranch allows you the opportunity give back to the animals who found their forever home at the sanctuary.

Volunteers play avital role at Black Beauty Ranch and will find their donated time very rewarding and have the opportunity to make a real difference for our animals while participating in activities that involve caring for more than 40 different species ranging from tortoises to horses to tigers. Volunteers will meet and work with like-minded people while having the opportunity to learn about the animals.

We also have group opportunities.  Volunteer groups have the opportunity to assist with various projects such as cleaning habitat/pastures, raking, clearing out undesirable vegetation, or other light construction tasks. The tasks will vary depending on what is needed at that time.
