My name is Matt Perella and I have been blessed with two of the world’s most amazing animals. Buck, my buckskin quarter horse; and Raffe, my rescue dog that is an Alaskan Malamute mixed with Australian Shepherd. Their existence has brought me hope for life, and we hope to pass this blessing on to others. These two animals have helped m

Rescue and Refuge for Death Row Dogs – Training the dogs and educating dog trainers

The Righteous Life Rescue Ranch founder’s dog, Raffe, was unfortunately in a shelter for 3.5 years and on death row. A death row dog refers to a dog that is borderline deemed as non-adoptable because of aggression or another personality trait that makes them unsafe to be around people or other animals. After Raffe was rescued, it only took 4 months for Matt Perella to get him properly trained to be a domesticated dog. There are many dogs in the same position as Raffe, and we are going to provide the proper training to transform them into the perfect companions. Our dogs will be donated to veterans suffering from PTSD as their service dogs.

Rescue and Refuge for Retired Horses

The Righteous Life Rescue Ranch will provide rescue to any unwanted horses out there.

Horses can typically be ridden until their late 20s and live up to 40 years old if kept healthy. Some healthy horses can have 10 years of life after they retire, but just because they can’t go on a trail ride anymore, pull a carriage, or help around the farm, doesn’t mean they have to be euthanized. They can still live fun, happy lives in the right place.

We are going to build this sanctuary because there are many horses being euthanized due to the lack of funding or facilities for them. At the Righteous Life Rescue Ranch, retired horses will be loved and cared for. Some of the horses will be severely malnutritioned or lame. We will provide the care to properly rehabilitate these horses back to a healthy state. We will make sure that all the horses we rescue will be on a structured diet plan and a customized exercise routine based on their abilities. The horses will have routine vet checks and farrier appointments keeping them in great overall health.

Equine Therapy

The Righteous Life Rescue Ranch will provide equine therapy to Veterans with PTSD, special needs, or anyone seeking inner peace, and overall improved health. Our horses are going to offer comfort and connection to people in need of a righteous life full of inner peace. It is scientifically proven that equine therapy reduces anxiety, depression, blood pressure and heart rate through physiological changes. Studies show that animal-assisted therapy reduces cortisol, the stress hormone. Our horses will produce positive results in improving our guests’ mental health.
