Animal Rescue & Donations

 About Captain Tucker's Quarters & Animal Rescue

Operated entirely independently by T.Tucker in rural Riley, Oregon, Captain Tucker's Quarters is a private animal rescue and farm campground dedicated to giving neglected, surrendered, and elderly animals a safe, loving home.

Current Rescues in Our Care

T.Tucker personally cares for a diverse family of animals rescued from difficult situations, previous owners facing illness, or unfavorable conditions:

Felines: semi-feral and feral cats (personal pets)

Poultry:  2 geese rescues. 23 Ducks (personal pets)

Livestock & Friends: 1 rabbit( personal pet) and 3 lambs rescues (including a senior lamb with arthritis)

Equine Hospice: A 25-year-old retired pack mule ( a rescue) with arthritis receiving specialized end-of-life care. 

In total we have 6 rescued farm animals. All the others are personal pets. 

How We Sustain the Rescue

To help fund the high cost of feed, care, and medical treatments out of her own pocket (supplemented by Social Security), T. Tucker offers a farm camping experience with one available RV site for travelers along Highway 20.

Unfortunately, due to recent economic pressures, inflation, and high travel costs, reservations guest donations have sharply declined, leaving the rescue in urgent need of community support to continue providing care.

Pronghorn Quick Facts

 Did you know  Pronghorn can run at speeds close to 60 miles an hour.

Pronghorn can see movement up to 4 miles away, thanks to their large, forward-facing eyes and a 300-degree field of vision. This exceptional eyesight is a key part of their defense against predators.

Central Oregon’s High Desert Supports Diverse Wildlife

 Central Oregon’s high desert supports diverse wildlife, including mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, and predators like mountain lions and bobcats. The shrub-steppe landscape, rivers, and forests are home to golden eagles, osprey, beaver, river otters, and various reptiles like pygmy short-horned lizards.

Key Wildlife Species

Mammals: Mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, grey wolves, bobcats, mountain lions, beaver, porcupines, and various rodents.

Birds: Golden eagles, osprey, burrowing owls, prairie falcons, raptors, and waterfowl.

Reptiles: Sagebrush lizard, western skink, side-blotched lizard, and pygmy short-horned lizard.

Small/Wetland Animals: River otters, muskrats, mink, American badger, and long-tailed weasels.

Seasonal Wildlife Trends

Winter often provides the best viewing opportunities for large mammals (deer, elk, pronghorn) as they congregate in lower-elevation valley bottoms and riparian areas to avoid deep snow. Raptors such as hawks, falcons, and owls are also commonly seen hunting over open fields during winter.

Tip: A thriving colony of rock chucks (yellow-bellied marmots) can often be seen along roadsides in Bend.

Sadly Captain Eor Crunch Tucker has been laid to rest on April 22 of 2024 at 43 years of age.

He stole and warmed the hearts of all that came to meet and know him. Despite the difficult start he had in life and hardships he had to endure along with his special needs he was always gentle natured. He is sorely missed now free from earthly bonds roaming lush and abundant pastures of the heavens. 

Rest in peace sweet Captain
