About Us

Nestled among 165 acres of woodland near Union, MO, the Humane Society of Missouri’s Longmeadow Rescue Ranch is haven for hundreds of abused and neglected horses, cows, goats, pigs, ducks and other farm animals. The ranch is one of the most comprehensive horse and farm animal care and rehabilitation centers in the country. In addition to animal care, ranch staff provide hands-on humane education experiences for both children and adults.
We are excited to announce that Longmeadow Rescue Ranch has partnered with The Right Horse Initiative, a group of animal welfare professionals and equine industry leaders focusing our collective knowledge toward a professional, logical approach that supports at-risk equines.
