Project Cecil Rescue Ranch is a small, family-run animal rescue in Utica, Ohio Make the dogs escape from the shelter to be killed and try to find them forever home. The project began in an elementary school classroom, inspired by and named after Cecil, the majestic lion of the University of Oxford has studied for more than a decade.

Sadly, Cecil was illegally lured from his protected reserve in Hwange, Zimbabwe and killed by a trophy hunter.

This devastated Lorna’s students, and made them want to inspire change. So they started an awareness campaign called Project Cecil: Save 1 for me. The idea is, if each person saves only one animalTogether, we can save them all.

A year later, the Cecil Project became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. And now, their rescue farm has become a safe haven for the animals.
