| Kristyn Goddard |
Kristyn Goddard grew up rescuing animals, both domestic and wild. Not only did she bring home stray dogs and cats, she fostered baby squirrels, an injured hawk, and even a coyote who was hit by a car. After nursing the wild animals back to health she would always set them free.
Horses were a big part of Kris's life as well. For years Kris owned, trained, and rode Thoroughbred Race Horses. She founded The Women's Jockey Association in 1979 to help promote women in the male dominated sport of horse racing, and later opened the Paradise Ranch Racing School to train young professionals. Under Kris's tutelage, The Racing School was also an adoption center for injured and unwanted race horses. After a serious riding injury sidelined her, Kris left the racing industry to pursue a new career with animals.
In 1997 Kris Goddard opened Paradise Ranch Country Club for Dogs. The free spirited Kris couldn't bear keeping the dogs penned up, and soon broke all the "Kennel Industry" rules. She lobbied City Government to set a new precedent for the Boarding Industry by allowing dogs to play together, and to sleep inside the homes on her ranch, instead of kennels. Anyone visiting Paradise Ranch knows it was a battle worth fighting as they watch the happy dogs enjoying the Country Club life.
