Under Our Scars Ranch

About Under Our Scars Ranch

Under Our Scars Ranch is a nonprofit farm animal rescue located right here in Baker, Florida. A nurturing environment built around opportunity, fresh starts, and sometimes a forever home — creating a voice for precious lives in need.

They rehabilitate, love, and provide for their animals in every way needed. From rescued horses like Diva and Chief to a growing herd of farm animals, UOSR gives unwanted, neglected, and abused animals a second chance at life.

The ranch is a true family operation, run day-to-day by Noel Myers and her daughter Layla. Layla is a huge part of caring for the rescues — you'll often find her right in the thick of it, playing with the animals and pouring her heart into every creature on the property. Their dedication is what makes UOSR so special.

Sustaining a rescue farm takes more than love — it takes a community. We welcome and deeply appreciate corporate and personal sponsorships, whether for general care or dedicated to a specific rescue animal. Every sponsorship goes directly toward feeding, sheltering, and providing medical care for the animals who need it most. And here's something worth knowing: as a registered nonprofit, donations to Under Our Scars Ranch are tax-deductible — and every single dollar donated makes a HUGE difference in the lives of these animals. If you or your business would like to get involved — whether through sponsorship, a monetary donation, volunteering, or other ways to support the mission — reach out to Noel directly or click the "Donate" button at the top and bottom of this page. There is always room for a willing heart and some spare change at Under Our Scars Ranch.

Here's something you might not know: those leftover veggies and greens sitting in your fridge? The rescues would love them! Donating surplus produce — garden extras, farmers' market leftovers, or anything fresh you can't use — is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to help feed the animals. It costs you nothing and means the world to them. Every carrot, every handful of greens, every bit of kindness adds up.

And if you're feeling like you could use a little peace yourself — come on out! Whether you want to visit the farm animals, spend some time in the quiet of the pasture, or roll up your sleeves and volunteer for a bit, the ranch welcomes you. There's something quietly healing about being around animals that have been through hard times and still choose to trust. A little animal therapy goes a long way, and the rescues are always happy to share it. Just be sure to reach out to Noel first before heading out — a quick call or message goes a long way in making sure the timing is right for everyone, two-legged and four-legged alike.

Registered as a Florida Not-For-Profit Corporation (Under Our Scars Ranch Inc., filed March 12, 2026), they host community farm updates and run fundraiser and donation programs to keep their mission going strong.
