Welcome to lonestarrescueranch.com, the website for Lone Star Rescue Ranch (“LSRR,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. Current Status of LSRR

LSRR is currently in the planning, formation, fundraising, and development stage.

LSRR is not yet open for animal intake, adoptions, public visits, lodging, dining, therapy services, youth programs, paid experiences, ranch operations, or public programming.

Any descriptions of future facilities, programs, services, partnerships, events, hospitality, education, therapy-adjacent programming, veterinary capacity, agriculture, technology, lodging, dining, concerts, or ranch experiences are planning concepts only unless clearly stated otherwise.

All future programs and facilities are subject to funding, land acquisition, legal review, tax review, permitting, insurance, staffing, board approval, construction feasibility, operational readiness, and applicable law.

2. 501(c)(3)-Pending Status

LSRR materials should describe the organization as 501(c)(3)-pending unless and until approval has been received.

Nothing on this website should be understood as a guarantee of tax deductibility. LSRR does not provide tax, legal, financial, investment, medical, veterinary, mental health, or professional advice. Donors, supporters, investors, partners, and visitors should consult their own professional advisors.

3. Website Content

The content on this website is provided for general informational, planning, fundraising, outreach, and community-engagement purposes.

We work to keep information accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that all content is complete, error-free, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.

LSRR may update, revise, remove, or replace website content at any time.

4. No Professional Advice

The website may discuss animal rescue, veterinary-forward planning, equine care, therapy-adjacent programming, education, agriculture, hospitality, technology, AI, robotics, donor funding, grants, nonprofit development, for-profit sustainability, or ranch planning.

This content is not professional advice.

You should not rely on the website as a substitute for qualified legal, tax, accounting, veterinary, medical, mental health, engineering, architectural, construction, financial, securities, insurance, permitting, or other professional advice.

5. Donations, Support, and Payments

If donations, sponsorships, memberships, merchandise, ticketing, event registration, or other payments are made available through the website, all payments are subject to the terms of the applicable payment processor and any LSRR-specific terms stated at the point of transaction.

Donation and sponsorship language should not be interpreted as a promise of tax deductibility, program availability, adoption availability, naming rights, public recognition, or future access unless confirmed in writing by LSRR.

Restricted gifts, naming opportunities, corporate sponsorships, grants, and major gifts may require separate written agreements, board approval, legal review, tax review, and acceptance by LSRR.

6. Investor and For-Profit Information

LSRR may discuss a future hybrid nonprofit plus mission-aligned for-profit model.

Nothing on this website is a securities offering, investment memorandum, private placement memorandum, guarantee of return, solicitation to invest, or offer to sell ownership, debt, revenue share, equity, partnership interest, or any other security.

Any investment, lending, real estate, revenue-share, sponsorship, or for-profit participation structure must be reviewed and prepared by qualified legal, tax, financial, and securities counsel before presentation, acceptance, or reliance.

7. Volunteer, Adoption, Program, and Partner Interest Forms

Submitting a form does not guarantee acceptance as a volunteer, adopter, donor, partner, sponsor, employee, contractor, student, intern, program participant, or event participant.

Any future adoption, volunteer, youth, therapy-adjacent, education, veterinary, hospitality, event, lodging, ranch, or animal-facing activity may require screening, applications, interviews, releases, waivers, background checks, parent/guardian consent, medical or veterinary clearance, training, insurance review, and staff approval.

8. User Submissions

If you submit messages, ideas, photos, videos, stories, comments, testimonials, partner proposals, grant suggestions, donor suggestions, or other materials to LSRR, you represent that you have the right to share those materials.

You agree not to submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, invasive of privacy, misleading, threatening, abusive, infringing, obscene, exploitative, or harmful.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, submitting an idea or suggestion does not create a confidential, fiduciary, partnership, employment, advisory, or compensation relationship with LSRR.
