Shoestring City Ranch

This rescue ranch is located smack dab in the center of hustling bustling Long Beach on a 4 1/2-acre parcel rented from So Cal Edison. It's home to "sheep, chickens, guinea hens, rabbits, doves, ducks, goats of various caprine persuasions and Poncho the donkey." Horses abound as well.

The Shoestring City Ranch gives a healthy dose of the rural to those kids who are missing opportunities to be around farm animals and rural-type living.
