Animal Guardian Network Healing Ranch and Farm Sactuary Animal Guardian Network's mission is to provide skilled life-long care for senior, special needs and hospice animals. Operating much like a long-term retirement community, Animal Guardian Network provides its resident animals with around-the-clock skilled care, hospice services, and a range of enriching activities. Domestic, farm and ranch animals alike benefit from expert care, nutrition and enrichment. One of the many things that distinguishes Animal Guardian Network as a sanctuary is their 21-acre refuge known as Healing River Ranch located along the Verde River in Camp Verde, AZ. It fulfills their mission of providing the highest level of care possible for the residents that find refuge there.
