Where Rescues Are Respected and Residents Are Royal
We are an animal sanctuary, which means this estate provides a permanent, safe home to a diverse collection of animals who reside here under my watchful eye.
In addition to our resident animals, we also accept rescue dogs only—specifically those who are hard to place and in need of extra understanding. These dogs are given a safe, structured, and comfortable environment while we carefully seek the right forever home, one that recognizes their individual needs and is prepared to meet them with patience, commitment, and respect.
Not every animal here is available for adoption.
All animals here are valued.
This sanctuary exists to protect, care for, and advocate for those who need it most—whether for a lifetime, or until the right family is found.

Resident Peacock, Head of Public Relations, and the unmistakable face of Chandler & Friends.
I oversee all official communications, including social media and this website, ensuring the public is kept properly informed, entertained, and occasionally humbled by my magnificence.
My responsibilities include announcing important estate updates, showcasing seasonal glow-ups, narrating daily life at the sanctuary, and maintaining the refined yet honest tone befitting a property of this stature. While others handle feed buckets and fencing, I handle branding, messaging, and morale.
Consider me the voice of the animals, the curator of our story, and the reason you stopped scrolling.
You’re welcome.

Denise Remtema
Keeper of the Estate
Allow me to present the Keeper of the Estate: the human who ensures this kingdom runs smoothly while I focus on important matters such as feather maintenance, displays of grandeur, and supervising from elevated positions.
The Keeper acquired this land in 2015 and is the property owner, groundskeeper, and primary caretaker of all animals who call the estate home. From daily feeding and care to fencing, maintenance, and the never-ending projects that come with sanctuary life, she is responsible for the well-being of both the animals and the land itself.
While I reign in splendor, the Keeper handles the work—quietly, consistently, and with deep commitment to every life here. This sanctuary exists because of her dedication, long before I arrived to improve the aesthetics.

Luna
Current Resident
Esteemed followers, I present to you Lady Luna, a distinguished canine guest of Willow Tree Ranch Animal Sanctuary, who is currently seeking a forever castle.
Luna is about five years old, delightfully energetic, and would thrive as the one and only royal pet in your domain. She respects ranch royalty like myself and the other large creatures here… but when it comes to other dogs? She prefers not to share her throne. Cats are strictly forbidden from her court.
Her talents include:
- Zoomies worthy of a victory parade
- Extreme loyalty to her chosen human
- Being the absolute center of attention (I deeply relate)
If you are looking for a devoted best friend — one who will shower you with love, adventure, and comedic enthusiasm — Luna is eagerly awaiting her future human.
Please consult the Keeper of the Estate for audience requests.

Heartwarming Rescue Stories from Willow Tree Ranch
Discover the compassionate journey we follow to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need at our sanctuary.
How Our Sanctuary Provides Hope and Healing
Hope and healing do not arrive all at once. Here, they are built through consistency, patience, and proper care.
At this sanctuary, animals are given what they need most: time, safety, and respect. Whether they are permanent residents or rescue dogs awaiting the right forever home, each animal is allowed to decompress, recover, and simply exist without pressure or expectation.
Healing happens through daily routines, attentive care, and an environment where animals are not rushed, overlooked, or misunderstood. Some arrive cautious, some arrive broken, and some arrive believing the world has already given up on them. We do not.
This estate exists to restore trust, rebuild confidence, and offer a future that honors each animal’s individual journey—on their terms, and at their pace.
