To book your tour/visit to Rory Pond Rescue Ranch please email: rorypondrescueranch@gmail.com
We begin our tours with a quick orientation where you’ll learn about how Rory Pond Rescue started, what we do, and why. You will also sign a waiver for visiting the ranch. After that we will take you around the property to meet our residents and learn their stories. You might even get to rub some pig bellies or kiss a cow! Children are welcome, but we do require all minors (under 18) to be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians. Children under the age of 10 will not be allowed in to enclosures with animals but can still pet them from outside or through fences. We are sadly not wheelchair accessible. Tours last approximately one hour.
We are not zoned for public events so we do not “charge” for our tours; our tours are given as a benefit of being a donor to our rescue. The donations from our tours go directly to the rescue work that we do, and help us care for our rescued animal family. Suggested donations are $20 per person for a Group Tour. We allow up to 20 people to attend each tour, after which the tour will be closed to visitors.
For all tours, free bottled water will be provided. We request that you provide your own food if needed, and our ranch is a vegan property. As a sign of respect to all our residents, especially those that have suffered directly in the animal agriculture industry, we ask that all food on the property be vegan. There is a port-a-potty available on site for visitor’s needs.
You are welcome to bring food/snacks for our animal residents. You will receive a list of safe snacks to bring the animals when you RSVP for the tour.

What if you are unable to attend a scheduled tour date?
Private Tours are offered for groups of a minimum of 4 people, up to 20 people, and can be individually scheduled, but will need to work with our director’s schedules. For private tours we suggest a donation of $40 per person. Private tours will be more individually tailored and last between 1.5-2 hours. We are also open to catering events with vegan food but please email us to discuss arranging and planning this.
