About Rescue Friends Ranch

Rescue Friends Ranch NFP is a 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue located in South Austin, Texas. We currently rescue any and all types of dogs without discrimination, but primarily focus on the underdogs - whether that be dogs with special needs, seniors, scaredies, ferals, strays, or dogs on an urgent euthanasia deadline - we work to physically, emotionally, and behaviorally rehabilitate dogs coming from critical circumstances so they can have the life that they deserve.

Rescue Friends Ranch NFP is ran alongside Rescue Friends Ranch LLC, which provides boarding, training, daycare, socialization, and outings to clients in the community for profit. All profit from RFR LLC pet services are transferred directly to RFR NFP to help fund our rescue work. This relationship also benefits the rescue dogs by providing them access to all services RFR LLC offers; including interaction with socialized client dogs, and built-in exposure and matchmaking with the RFR client base.

Rescue Friends Ranch LLC/NFP is a vegan-owned organization and is working toward expanding our rescue efforts to include a wide variety of additional companion and non-companion animals.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
