Refuge Ridge is a non-profit
organization in South-Eastern Kentucky combining the welfare of
children and animals in to create a unique program where both can
flourish. Running programs that encourage the humane treatment of
both animals and people. Programs that help develop self-esteem,
self-reliance, compassion and empathy are an important part of refuge
ridge.
Our environmental education program works along side
our humane programs to teach about the effects that our careless
treatment of the planet has on all its inhabitants. Having a
chance to meet our wolfdogs encourages the kids to really care about
the fate of wild animals and encourages them to work for change.
The program also teaches about the importance of native plants in
an ecosystem, water testing, and recycling.

We firmly believe that the only way to change the
future is through educating our youth.
