Buckeye Ridge Rescue & Retreat
Your entries are in — and we are so grateful for every name, every dollar, and every heart that showed up for our newest resident.
From All of Us at Buckeye Ridge
“A name is the first gift you give someone. Thank you for giving ours.”
When we opened this contest, we hoped the community would show up. You did — and then some. Every submission carried thought, care, and a little piece of your heart.
The entries have been reviewed, a shortlist has been chosen, and the Buckeye Ridge team is working through the final decision. We’ll be announcing the winning name soon — stay tuned to our social channels and website for the big reveal.
Until then, know that your participation directly supports the animals, the programs, and the people whose lives are changed every single day at this farm.
Still Settling In
Our sweet cow is thriving. Sunny pastures, fresh grass, and the warmth of a community that already loves them — life at Buckeye Ridge suits them perfectly.
They may not have a name yet, but they already have a home, a herd, and a whole community rooting for them.
Follow along on our website and social media to be the first to know when the name is revealed.
Visit Buckeye RidgeYour generosity helps us care for every animal, support every veteran, and welcome every child who walks through our gates.
