Lone Star Rescue Ranch
Building a Texas rescue ranch for dogs, horses, and the people who love them.
Lone Star Rescue Ranch is being developed near the Brenham/Bellville area of Texas as a future rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, education, and therapy campus for dogs and horses.
We are currently in Phase 0: Foundation & Funding — building the nonprofit structure, donor base, planning systems, volunteer network, and early funding needed to move from vision to land, construction, and animal care operations.
Your support now helps launch the foundation of the ranch before the first building is built and before the first animal arrives.
More than a rescue. A national model.
