Fat Cow Foundation Fund

More room. Better space. A safer, functional facility built for the animals who rely on us.

Fat Cow Foundation has a goal to build a facility that gives us the space, structure, and capacity to care for up to 100 dogs along with our livestock, barn cats, and working animals.


This project is only possible with community support.

At Capacity Daily

Every kennel, pasture, and pen is running full. More room lets us take in more animals safely.

Better Winter Protection

Wyoming winters create serious limitations. Improved structures keep animals safe all season.

Improved Operations

More room = smoother flow, safer movement, and easier daily management.

Land + Facility Buildout

GOAL: $1,800,000

This expansion will secure the land and infrastructure needed to grow our working dog, rescue, and livestock programs responsibly. Everything is designed for durability, usability, and long-term function.

Housing for Up to 100 Dogs

Safe, functional indoor/outdoor kennels designed for Wyoming weather.
Dedicated areas for working dogs, rescues, medical cases, seniors, and puppies.

Medical & Quarantine Building

On-site care for new intakes, injuries, illness, and isolation when needed.
Protects both incoming and existing animals

Expanded Livestock & Barn Areas

Room for cattle, goats, sheep, horses, and barn cats.
Safer shelters, fencing, and weather-protected areas.

Feed, Hay & Equipment Storage

Lower operating costs, better winter preparedness, reduced waste, and safer supply management.

Designed With Visitors in Mind

The expansion includes areas where visitors, adopters and donors can connect with the animals and learn about the work we do.

More room means more lives supported

This expansion allows us to:

Take in more at-risk dogs

Improve livestock housing

Create safer winter conditions

Speed up intake and medical processing

Provide more training and rehabilitation opportunities

Reduce overcrowding

Strengthen long-term sustainability

The animals need more room, better space, and smarter infrastructure.
This expansion provides exactly that.

Your support makes this possible

Thank you.

Feed Our Vets

We raise high quality, small-batch beef here on the ranch. 10% of each beef that we process is donated and hand-delivered to local veterans and seniors who could not otherwise afford beef often.

Support Our Vets

Golden Reins

When horse retire because of age or medical reasons, their owner cannot always afford to keep them. Our Golden Reins is a retirement program for these horse. We take them here and your support provides hay, minerals, vet care, farrier services, and gentle handling.

Fund

We are bursting at the seams and growing. In order to take in more animals in need, we need more room. We are raising funds to purchase and build a bigger facility where we can house 100+ dogs and more livestock.

Mail Call

Snail mail is a great way to stay in touch. It slows things down, keeps the skill of writing alive, and is a great way to connect with seniors who may be lonely. In our Mail Call program we connect vets and seniors with a penpal who would like to keep up on old school communication.
