The Rescue Ranch’s annual fundraising event has been postponed due to the wildfires burning in Central Okanagan.
As a result of evacuations, the race course on the ranch is occupied by an eclectic group of animal evacuees. In addition to the rescue animals who call the farm home, Rescue Ranch owner and Dirty Mutter race organizer Rhonda Laturnus has taken in emus, goats, chickens and a llama, after evacuations forced them from their homes.
Laturnus said that the animals will be living with her until it is safe for them to return home.
