Turn a Tale of Sorrow into a Tail-Wagging Tomorrow.
Help us build a sanctuary where homeless dogs and homeless veterans can come together, forming a harmonious community where they can rely on each other for support, love, and companionship.
Ranch Dickie Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the primary objective of Operation Boots and Paws is to collect donations to build a safe haven where homeless veterans and homeless dogs can come together, relying on each other for support, love, and companionship.
Our vision is a place where veterans experiencing homelessness can receive the support they deserve, while sheltered dogs find a loving environment. Veterans will have the opportunity to care for and bond with these deserving animals, providing a sense of purpose and responsibility. In return, the unconditional love and loyalty of the dogs offer emotional support and companionship to veterans.
Operation Boots & Paws is a win-win. By donating, you're not just giving homeless veterans and dogs a safe place to land—you’re fostering a unique connection that can mend hearts and rebuild lives.
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."

“As far back as I can remember animals have played a special role in my life. When I was about 8 years old I would go to Tal’s service Station where there was a greasy dirty German Shepard, Rusty. I was hooked. I would play with him all afternoon.”
