Our Mission:
At Dude's Animal Ranch And Sanctuary, our mission is to provide compassionate care for special needs, and senior animals. We work with pet owners and their families who have beloved pets needing rehoming due to owner passing or illness. We aim to help keep the shelters within their capacity by rehoming these special populations while living in a loving and home-based foster environment. Ensuring the well-being and finding loving homes for all animals in need is our number one priority. We are dedicated to protecting all animals big and small through our foster to adopt program whether it be end of life care, trap spay-neuter and release, or public education on the importance of responsible animal ownership.

Our vision is for all animals to live a life free of cruelty and suffering.

Looking To Visit
Dude's Animal Ranch & Sanctuary operates as a foster-based micro-animal rescue organization, which means we currently do not have a dedicated physical location. Instead, we have collaborated with various Petco stores in the Houston area to host in-store adoption events, where we showcase some of our adorable furry friends who are looking for loving homes..
