Animal Sanctuary, Trauma Therapy & Safe House
Ranch Hands Rescue and Bob's House of Hope in Argyle, TX
Our Mission
What We Provide
Animal Sanctuary
The Ranch Hands Rescue farm animal sanctuary provides rehabilitation and a safe haven for horses and livestock suffering from the worst cases of abuse and neglect. Rescued farm animals are given love and purpose in a peaceful, happy environment and are integrated into our Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling program to support people recovering from trauma.
Trauma Therapy & Counseling Center
The Ranch Hands Rescue trauma therapy and counseling center is a unique place of healing, where people suffering from severe or multiple traumas experience transformative change. Compassionate licensed counselors provide a range of effective treatments, including EMDR and TBRI therapies for PTSD and a number of other complications. Our Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling program also helps children and adults build relationships with critical care animals, fostering mutual trust and nurturing recovery.
Safe House & Shelter
Bob’s House of Hope at Ranch Hands Rescue is the nation’s first safe house for young adult male survivors of sex trafficking. Built on safety and community, our facility meets the individual needs of its residents and includes RHR’s innovative Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling intervention.

Daisy
AGE: 8-year old goat
AT Ranch Hands Rescue: 5-1/2 years
Daisy was brought to us with a broken neck, malnourished, scared, and distrustful toward humans. After working with veterans suffering from PTSD and children in our counseling program, she learned to not only trust but to cherish human touch again. Daisy has become an important perspective change, for many individuals in our programs, as she provides the opportunity for them to serve her needs and witness her own trust and love -in humans be renewed through her living happily in the sanctuary of Ranch Hands Rescue.
