Our friends from REACH (Reaching Educational And Career Hopes) came out to visit !!!!

These kids are very special to us and we love them just the way they are.   They come out to love the animals, to help with chores, and they pick up from several area donation drop off locations and bring the donations out when they come to visit

At Rikki's we especially love the differently abled.  After all, that IS why Rikki's existed.  Mom kept volunteering in the animal rescue world and kept seeing those who don't fit society's norms left behind.  She took home as many as she could.  The challenged .... bit it physically, emotionally, intellectually or just because they have a chronic health issue or they've gotten older.  They deserve just as much love ... no matter their species.

Mom dreamed of one day there being a special place where the differently abled and the differently challenged could come together and live in peace and happiness.  A place where they'd be loved.  Loved just for who they are. 

And that place is Rikki's Refuge !!1

We love partnering with hooman organizations who have the same dreams and hopes for the future and who are working to make it happen every day !!!!  

Around 2 pm the clouds started to clear and we saw beautiful blue sky !!!!!
