The Humane Society of Missouri Longmeadow Rescue Ranch’s Spring Fling transpired Saturday, April 18, 2015 at the facility in Union, Missouri. The day had many ranch animals available to adopt, including horses, pigs, foul, cattle, goats and other breeds. The event, scheduled from 11 AM-3 PM, benefited the Longmeadow Fence Fund.

The Longmeadow Ranch is nestled among 165-acres of woodland near Union, Missouri.  The Humane Society of Missouri’s Longmeadow Rescue Ranch has become a haven for hundreds of abused and neglected horses, cows, goats pigs, ducks and other farm animals.  The ranch comprises 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 eduction experiences for both children and adults.

Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, once known as Packwood Longmeadow Farm, was purchased in 1988, made possible by a generous bequest from George Packwood, Jr.

George Packwood’s commitment to the Humane Society of Missouri began as an active supporter of the organization and continues today through his generous donation of land to be used specifically for the care of ranch animals.

The Longmeadow Fence Fund is used to help fix the ranch’s fences to provide a safe environment for ranch animals.

The Spring Fling offered a variety of food from different vendors such as Aunt B’s Kettle Corn, Papa Murphy’s and Cool Times. The event had hayrides at specified intervals throughout the ranch. DJ Steve Stewart played many popular tunes for guests and the Lindbergh High Strolling Strings also entertained with a selection of favorites.

Overall, the cloudy weather did not deter the visitors from a splendid day of food, fun, animals, and festivities at the ranch.
