Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Charlie – Your New Best Friend! 🐾
The phrase “man’s best friend” was practically created with Charlie in mind. This handsome Australian Shepherd is being surrendered through no fault of his own and is now searching for a foster or forever family to love him as much as he loves his people.
Charlie is a sweet, cuddly, and motivated boy who truly aims to please. A classic Aussie at heart, he loves to chase anything you let him—especially a ball! Spend a little time throwing one around outside and you’ll instantly become his biggest fan. 🎾
He is an extremely loyal pup who bonds quickly and wants to be right by your side, whether you’re heading out on an adventure or just moving from room to room at home. Charlie thrives on being included and wants to go everywhere you go.
Charlie likes to be the boss, so he does best in a home with dogs who aren’t interested in being his alpha. He is gentle with kiddos and would fit in beautifully with a family of any size. Highly treat-motivated and eager to learn, Charlie truly just wants to be included in everything you do. 🩷
If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving companion, Charlie is your guy.

Founded in 2018, Cactus Ranch Rescues was born out of equal parts compassion, caffeine, and good ol’ Texas stubbornness — a response to the heartbreaking overpopulation crisis facing our state’s pets.
Originally tucked away on peaceful acreage in Elgin, TX, the ranch quickly turned into a full-blown rescue rodeo — with wagging tails, woolly coats, and the occasional feathered diva demanding VIP treatment. (Yes, we once shared the barn with a duck who thought she was management.)
After a short hiatus — because even rescuers need a nap and a moment to remember what “free time” is — we’re back and thriving in Bryan, TX! Our space might be smaller now, but our hearts are still Texas-sized, and our determination to save lives could lasso the moon.
These days, we mostly focus on domestic animals (because we finally admitted we can’t fit a cow in the living room). We serve as a stepping stone rescue — helping dogs go from crisis to comfort, from “code red” to couch-ready. Think of us as the halfway house for hounds, the pit stop for pups, and the emotional support humans for anyone with paws.
Every animal that finds their way to the "Ranch" becomes part of our family — quirks, belly rub demands, and all. We rebuild trust, restore joy, and prove daily that even the most broken spirits can wag again.
Cactus Ranch Rescues — where healing begins, one wag and heartbeat at a time.
