Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Zelda 💛
Zelda is an 8-year-old husky / German shepherd / border collie mix with a gentle soul and a deep love for her people. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and people-focused, and she truly thrives when she has a strong bond with her humans.
She does wonderfully with adults and children alike, enjoys routine, and takes pride in being a very well-mannered girl. Zelda is house trained, kennel trained, and highly obedient, with years of positive training behind her. She’s calm, attentive, and happiest when she knows what’s expected of her.
Zelda would do best in a pet-free home, where she can relax and feel secure without needing to share space or special items. She prefers a quieter environment and would love to be someone’s one-and-only companion. In the right setting, Zelda is steady, loving, and deeply devoted.
She’s an excellent match for someone who values structure, consistency, and the special bond that comes with an experienced, mature dog. Zelda isn’t looking for chaos — she’s looking for peace, stability, and a person to call her own.
🏡 Zelda is ready for a fresh start and a calm forever home.

Sometimes the best dogs are the ones who just want a quiet life and a whole lot of love. 💛

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.
