About Us

When Danielle was five years old living in Los Angeles, she asked her parents to move out to "the country" so she could take care of goats, horses and chickens.  Eventually her parents gave in, and it was the happiest time of her childhood.

As an adult living back in Los Angeles, she began to see that much of the current generation of children do not have access to the farm life she cherished from her childhood and she hoped to one day change this.

In 2016, Danielle became very ill while pregnant with her third child and was hospitalized and nearly died from bacterial meningitis, which led to severe pneumonia and weeks in the ICU.

Overcoming these obstacles made her realize how precious life is, and she developed a resolve to make a difference in the community.

She adopted "Lily" an off-the-track race horse that gave her hope for her own life and inspired her to build the non-profit Farmhouse Rescue. Since then she started a ranch in Orange County and began adopting farm animals and providing hope to the community. 

Jonathan works in commercial real estate investment.  He has participated in many charitable organizations, including overseeing endowment funds benefiting the healthcare sector.

He assists with fundraising and logistics for Farmhouse Rescue.  He also enjoys horseback riding and hands-on projects around the ranch.

Together, Jonathan and Danielle have three children, all of which participate in the rescue efforts.

Hannah is an animal lover through and through.  She is studying at Purdue majoring in Agricultural Science, a world-renowned program. She is finishing her senior year as she prepares for law school.

Hannah has launched our intern program at Farmhouse Rescue and has developed the volunteer program and created individual care plans for our sweet animals.  She has created fundraising events and been a hands-on caregiver to our rescues including sleepless nights when animals have been in need.

We have all joined the Purdue family in supporting Hannah in her education journey.
