"Where Disaster Strikes, We Will Respond"
Healing Spirits Ranch & Rescue, Inc is a non-profit organization/agency committed to providing assistance and prompt response, to a missing childs report, National Disasters that endanger animals and people in all areas when disaster strikes, or animals trapped including in times of a natural disaster, such as Hurricane, Flood or Tornado’s, or a “close to home traffic accident and/or chemical spill accident. We are not limited to only certain type of disasters.
Founded by Daniel E. Kennedy, Healing Spirits Rescue & Ranch, Inc was established following the disaster that Hurricane Katrina reeked on Florida in 2005. Approximately one week after Hurricane Katrina, he was asked for his assistance with the removal and relocation of over 1000 horses from parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The animals were stranded, hungry, hurt and dying for a drink of clean water, and volunteers were stranded because of security issues and could not respond to some areas. Daniel contacted President Bush’s office by letter to advise him about how he planned on how to accomplish the objective professionally.
Having received the support from former President George W. Bush, the U.S. Coast Guard (District 7) in Miami, Daniel along with a lot of friends and family formed the foundation. The foundation consists of highly trained fire fighters, members of the Florida Law Enforcement and Corrections Department who are part of the original starting of the agency as well as a lot of highly trained people in other areas.
The foundation’s mission is to work as a team of Coast Guard Auxiliary members with certified law enforcement on the staff as well as fire fighters, work alongside any law enforcement or fire department as a “Mutual Aide Agency” for structure fires, Motor Vehicle accidents, detouring traffic from debris or road blockage dangers, help escort animals from interstate roads from downed fences, assist in rescues of an injured animal who needs extracted from debris or a vehicle, brush fires that endanger livestock and animals, help find missing persons on horseback or by well equipped Coast Guard approved boats, help to relocate animals (large and small) to safe locations areas away from harm. They also render physical care to the injured people and animals until the owner can reclaim the animals. If the animals are abandoned, then they and/or agency vets and/or fire fighters will either adopt or find a local potential owner to take good care of them.
Our group goal is to help all local, state and federal government and we respond to their needs when a disaster strikes and being a reliable asset to the U.S. Coast Guard, Law Enforcement Officers, as well as to other agencies since most of us are Coast Guard Auxiliary Members.
