WANTED IN ALL 50 STATES. 🐾🚨

Wassup, peasants. šŸ˜Ž

Name’s Cruiser. 😤

I’m a certified BAD DAWG. A menace to society. A straight-up criminal. The streets know my name.

MY CRIMINAL RECORD INCLUDES:

šŸš” Excessive zoomies without a permit.

šŸš” Assault with a deadly amount of cuteness.

šŸš” Grand theft squeaky toy.

šŸš” Disturbing the peace by being an absolute GOOFBALL.

šŸš” Reckless operation of all four paws.

šŸš” Being ridiculously handsome in a public place.

Now, the rescue ladies keep tellin’ everybody I’m a ā€œsweet babyā€ and ā€œthe goodest boyā€ and ā€œsuch a smart little guy.ā€

MA’AM. I AM A DANGEROUS INDIVIDUAL. SHOW SOME RESPECT. 😤

Okay, fine. I do love playing. And cuddles are pretty cool. And I might be a little bit of a baby. And yes, I get excited about basically EVERYTHING.

BUT THAT AIN’T THE POINT.

I’m SMART, too. Like, scary smart. My brain is enormous. My thoughts are mostly about toys, snacks, and committing minor acts of tomfoolery, but still. 🧠

I’m funny. I’m playful. I’m full of personality. I’m basically the entertainment department, security team, and class clown all rolled into one handsome little criminal.

But here’s the part I don’t understand. 🄺

I’m Cactus Ranch Rescue’s LONGEST-STAY RESIDENT.

Yep. ME.

The funniest dude in the joint. The life of the party. The boy who’s got enough love and personality to fill an entire house.

I’ve watched other dogs pack their little bags and head off to their forever homes while I’m still here, practicing my tough-guy face and waiting for somebody to pick me.

And don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for ’em.

But, like…

HELLO??? HAVE Y’ALL SEEN ME??? 😭

I’m still just a baby with a whole lifetime of adventures ahead of me. I wanna play, learn cool tricks, make you laugh until your belly hurts, and be somebody’s favorite little sidekick.

I don’t need to be the baddest dawg on the block.

I just wanna be YOUR dawg. šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

So somebody come bust me outta this joint.

I PROMISE TO BEHAVE.

(That is a legally questionable statement. My attorney has advised me to stop talking.) 🫔

🚨🐾 FOSTERS NEEDED! SIX DOGS, FIVE FOSTER PLEAS, AND NOT ENOUGH HOMES! 🐾🚨

HELLLOOOOOO, FOSTER FAMILIES! šŸ“£šŸ‘€

We have SIX dogs who desperately need foster homes, and we’re hoping our amazing community can help us make some magic happen!

We know. We know. We JUST asked for fosters. But apparently the universe has decided our rescue is running an all-inclusive doggy bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, we’re fresh out of rooms. 🫠

🐾 1. A 13-YEAR-OLD SHIH TZU šŸ‘“šŸ»ā¤ļø

This little senior is scheduled to arrive November 2nd!

THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. 🄺

At this age, this baby deserves a soft bed, a peaceful home, and someone who will love them through their golden years. We’re hoping to have a foster home waiting before arrival!

🐾 2. A 5-YEAR-OLD DEAF FEMALE FRENCH BULLDOG šŸøšŸ’—

She’s five years old, spayed, and deaf!

Being deaf doesn’t make her any less deserving of a wonderful home. She just needs someone willing to communicate a little differently.

And let’s be real… Frenchies with fully functioning ears don’t listen half the time anyway. šŸ˜‚

🐾 3 & 4. DAISY AND MAGGIE — TWO ABANDONED PUPPIES 🄺🐶

These two sweet girls were found abandoned in Katy, Texas.

Both are approximately 6 months old and 15 pounds each!

🌼 Daisy: White and light brown

🌸 Maggie: White and black

Their finder has already checked them for microchips and gotten their rabies vaccinations taken care of!

They’re described as incredibly sweet puppies who just need somewhere safe to land.

They can be fostered separately! You do NOT have to take both!

🐾 5. A 4-YEAR-OLD MALE MALTESE/POODLE MIX šŸ©šŸ’™

A little fluffy gentleman who needs a foster home!

Four years old, small, and sporting that Maltese/Poodle combination that practically screams, ā€œI require a personal hairstylist.ā€ šŸ˜‚

We need someone willing to open their home while we get him settled into rescue and work toward his forever family!

🐾 6. A 2-YEAR-OLD FEMALE CHIHUAHUA/MALTESE MIX šŸŽ€šŸ¾

Another little lady needing somewhere to land!

She’s just two years old, with plenty of life ahead of her. We would love to have a safe, loving foster home lined up for her!

And if she inherited the Chihuahua attitude, we fully expect her to believe she owns the place within 48 hours. šŸ˜‚šŸ‘‘

ā¤ļø NOW, BEFORE YOU SAY ā€œI CAN’T AFFORD ANOTHER DOGā€¦ā€

GOOD NEWS! YOU DON’T HAVE TO!

Cactus Ranch Rescue provides:

🐾 Veterinary care

🐾 Food and supplies

🐾 Preventatives and medications as needed

🐾 Support throughout your foster journey

🐾 Help finding your foster baby a forever home!

YOU provide the love, patience, and a safe place to land.

You don’t need a mansion, a ranch, or a six-figure income to foster. You don’t even need to have fostered before!

You just need a little space and a willingness to make a difference.

ā¤ļø HERE’S THE REALITY.

We are a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter building where we can put dogs when someone asks us to help.

Every single animal we save needs an actual home to go to.

When our fosters are full, our rescue is full.

And when we’re full, we have to say no to animals who desperately need us.

That’s the part of rescue that breaks our hearts.

SIX DOGS. FIVE FOSTER HOMES NEEDED. SIX CHANCES TO CHANGE A LIFE.

šŸŖšŸ”„ LADIESSSSS… THE PHARAOH HAS RETURNED. AND I’M FEELIN’ GINUWINE. šŸ˜ŽšŸ’‹

Ayyyy, baby. Pharaoh here.

Now, I know y’all been worried ’bout your boy.

Been sick. Been skinny. Been poked, prodded, medicated, and inspected like a suspicious package at the airport.

But lemme tell y’all somethin’…

PAPA’S GETTIN’ HIS GROOVE BACK. šŸ˜

I’m gaining weight. šŸ’Ŗ

I’m waggin’ my tail. šŸ‘

I’m feelin’ GOOD.

And today, I looked at my foster mama and thought…

Dang, girl. You been takin’ real good care of me. šŸ‘€

Next thing I know…

šŸŽ¶ MY SADDLE’S WAITIN’… COME AND JUMP ON ITTTT. šŸŽ¶

GINUWINE, BABYYYY. šŸŽšŸ’€

Now, apparently, humpin’ your foster mama’s leg is considered ā€œinappropriate behavior.ā€

EXCUSE ME?!

Ain’t a fella allowed to show some appreciation?!

This woman feeds me. Bathes me. Gives me medicine. Tells me I’m handsome.

I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHIN’ SPECIAL, JAYME. 😭🤣

Then she starts hollerin’ for somebody to get a video.

MA’AM.

I AM A PHARAOH.

A KING.

A DESCENDANT OF ROYALTY.

YOU WILL NOT RECORD MY PRIVATE AFFAIRS AND PUT THEM ON THE INTERNET. šŸ‘‘

…Anyway, how many views we got? šŸ‘€

Now, the rescue ladies say I’ve still got a whole lotta vetting ahead of me.

Apparently, they’re waitin’ for me to put on some more weight before I get neutered.

NEUTERED?!

Y’ALL ARE GONNA REMOVE THE ROYAL JEWELS?! šŸ’ŽšŸ˜­

I SURVIVED ALL THIS JUST FOR Y’ALL TO DISMANTLE THE PYRAMIDS?!

THE AUDACITY.

And listen, I know I got two beautiful mamas waitin’ for me up in Colorado.

Ladies, I ain’t forgot about y’all. 😘

I’m just down here in Texas getting my strength back, building my physique, and apparently developing a reputation that may follow me across state lines.

WHAT HAPPENS IN TEXAS WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY IN TEXAS, BUT MY FOSTER MAMA OWNS AN IPHONE. šŸ’€šŸ˜‚

In all seriousness, though…

Your boy’s been through a lot.

There were days I didn’t feel like doin’ much of anything. I was tired, sick, skinny, and just tryin’ to make it through.

But these rescue ladies and my foster mama? They didn’t give up on me.

And now I’m eating better, putting on weight, waggin’ my little tail, and starting to feel like myself again. ā¤ļø

I still got a long road ahead. More vet visits, more treatments, and eventually that unfortunate situation involving my family jewels.

But I’m gettin’ there, y’all.

One pound, one tail wag, and one inappropriate romantic gesture at a time. šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

THE KING AIN’T BACK TO FULL STRENGTH YET… BUT THE SPIRIT IS WILLING. šŸ‘‘šŸ¤£

Love,
PHARAOH šŸŖšŸ’‹

P.S. Somebody tell Ginuwine I need him to perform at my neuter farewell party. We’re calling it ā€œThe Last Ride.ā€ šŸŽšŸ’€

P.P.S the rescue ladies say pls donate to my vet care before they go crazy! www.cactusranchrescue.com

UPDATE ON BANJO (RORY): HE HAS AN OWNER! šŸ”ā¤ļø

Well, y’all! This little guy’s story just took an unexpected turn!

Remember Banjo, the little dog who was found TIED TO A DUMPSTER today outside a McDonald’s/hair salon in Bryan? šŸ’”

Well, after doing a little digging, we’ve learned quite a bit about his story!

Apparently, Banjo’s real name is RORY! 🄹

Rory was rehomed just YESTERDAY and unfortunately got loose from his new owners. Somewhere between escaping and being brought to us, someone apparently found him, because he was later discovered by another individual tied to that dumpster.

We don’t know exactly what happened in between, or who tied him there, but we’re certainly thankful someone noticed him and got him to safety!

Since coming into our care, we’ve already gotten Rory started on his basic veterinary care. And thanks to one VERY important little piece of technology, WE WERE ABLE TO TRACK DOWN HIS OWNER! šŸŽ‰

🚨 THIS IS YOUR REMINDER TO MICROCHIP YOUR PETS! 🚨

We cannot stress this enough.

A collar can fall off. Tags can get lost. Gates get left open. Accidents happen. Even the most responsible pet owners can find themselves searching desperately for a missing animal.

But a microchip provides a permanent form of identification that can help reunite a lost pet with its family.

And Rory is a perfect example of why they matter!

A microchip doesn’t track your pet’s location like a GPS, but when scanned, it can provide the information needed to locate their registered owner.

PLEASE make sure your pets are microchipped AND that their registration information is current! A microchip with an outdated phone number isn’t nearly as helpful.

ā¤ļø SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Rory is currently serving his required three-day stray hold while his owner decides whether he would like to reclaim him or allow Rory to officially remain in the Cactus Ranch Rescue program.

Until that decision is made and his hold is complete, Rory is safe, loved, and being cared for by our team.

We’re not here to pass judgment or speculate about what happened. We’re simply thankful that this little guy didn’t spend another night alone, scared, or tied to a dumpster.

Sometimes rescue is about finding an animal a brand-new family.

And sometimes, it’s about helping them find their way back to the family they already have. ā¤ļø

We’ll keep y’all updated as we learn more!

Welcome to the craziest 24 hours of your life, Rory. šŸ˜‚šŸ¾

šŸ’‹šŸ‘µšŸ» WELL, HELLO THERE, SUGAR. MAYBELLINE HERE. STILL SINGLE, STILL SASSY, AND STILL GOT MOST OF MY ORIGINAL PARTS. šŸ’…šŸ¾

Now, pull up a chair, baby. Grandma’s got a few things she’d like to discuss.

First off, I have a DENTAL APPOINTMENT ON OCTOBER 29TH. 🦷

Apparently, these rescue ladies have decided my snaggletoothed smile needs some professional attention.

A cleaning, some dental work, and Lord knows what else.

I asked about dentures.

THEY SAID NO.

Well, ain’t that some bull. šŸ™„

I was hoping for a nice set of pearly whites. Maybe even a little gold tooth. Something classy. Something that’ll make the fellas at bingo jealous.

But apparently, we’re just working with what the Good Lord left me. šŸ˜‚

Anywho, I’m doing just fine in my foster home, thank you very much. And since these rescue women insist on putting my personal business all over the Facebook, I reckon I’ll tell y’all a little about myself.

šŸ’— I’M SWEET AS PEACH PIE. Truly. I’m a gentle old gal who enjoys good company, a soft place to land, and a little affection.

šŸ” I’M HOUSEBROKE. Mostly. Listen, sweetheart, I’ve been on this earth a long time. Occasionally the plumbing has a scheduling disagreement with my bladder. Happens to the best of us.

šŸ— I DON’T SHARE MY GROCERIES. Now, I’m not gonna bite anybody, but if another dog gets too interested in my supper, I WILL show ā€˜em the three-and-a-half teeth I’ve got left.

It’s called setting boundaries, Deborah. Look it up.

🐈 CATS? I chase ’em.

Not sure what I’d do if I caught one, but that’s really none of my business. It’s about the thrill of the pursuit.

šŸ” CHICKENS? Couldn’t care less.

Those feathered fools can carry on with their little lives. I’ve got more important things to worry about.

šŸ• BIG DOGS? No thank you.

I prefer my company a little closer to my own size. I ain’t interested in getting body-slammed by somebody’s 90-pound Labrador named Diesel.

šŸ›‹ļø COUCHES? YES, MA’AM.

I am a PROFESSIONAL couch enthusiast. If there’s a comfortable cushion in the house, you can bet your sweet biscuits I’ll find it.

😓 BEDTIME? I sleep in my wire crate like a proper lady. No fuss, no nonsense. A lady needs her beauty rest.

šŸ‘‚ AND I’M A WONDERFUL LISTENER.

You wanna tell me about your day? Your problems? Your third divorce? Your sister-in-law who keeps bringing store-bought potato salad to Thanksgiving?

Baby, I’m all ears.

I won’t interrupt. I won’t judge. I’ll just sit there looking at you with these sweet little eyes.

And probably fall asleep halfway through. But that’s beside the point. šŸ˜‚

Truthfully, I’m a very calm, very sweet, very easygoing old lady who’s coming along beautifully in foster care.

I don’t need constant excitement. I don’t need a marathon buddy. I don’t need somebody trying to teach me how to do backflips for TikTok.

I need a comfortable couch, some good groceries, a little patience, and somebody to love me through the rest of my golden years. ā¤ļø

I’ve spent enough time wondering what comes next.

I’d sure like my next chapter to be my forever home. 🄹

So, if you’ve been looking for a sweet senior lady with a little sass, a questionable dental situation, and excellent listening skills…

COME GET YOUR GRANDMA. šŸ’‹šŸ‘µšŸ»

🤠🐾 WELL, I’LL BE DADGUMMED. STILL HERE. STILL SINGLE. STILL HANDSOME.

Howdy, folks. Duke here.

Yep. Still waitin’.

I know. I’m plain.

I know. I ain’t flashy.

I know. I’m old.

I ain’t got no fancy haircut, no designer breed papers, and I sure as heck ain’t gonna fit in one of them little purse things.

BUT I’VE GOT MORE PERSONALITY THAN A THREE-YEAR-OLD IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT WHOSE MAMA LOADED HER UP ON SPRITE AND PIXIE STICKS. šŸ’…šŸ˜‚

And that’s sayin’ somethin’, sweetheart.

Now, I may have a little gray on my face, but don’t let that fool ya. This ol’ boy’s still got some PEP IN HIS STEP.

I’m funny. I’m bossy. I’m opinionated. And I ain’t afraid to tell ya when somethin’ ain’t to my likin’.

Some folks call that attitude.

I call it LEADERSHIP. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

I also happen to be quite the ladies’ man.

Well… sometimes it’s cats.

Listen. Love is complicated. Don’t make it weird. šŸ’€šŸ˜‚

Anyway, these rescue women keep tellin’ me I’m a ā€œsenior.ā€

SENIOR?!

Ma’am, I ain’t dead. I still got places to be, people to supervise, snacks to eat, and neighborhood business to mind.

I don’t need no nursing home. I need a recliner, a good supper, and somebody who appreciates a distinguished gentleman with a questionable past and an excellent personality.

I ain’t askin’ for much.

šŸ” A cozy place to lay my bones.

šŸ— Some good groceries.

ā¤ļø A human who thinks I’m the funniest thing since sliced bread.

🐾 And preferably somebody who understands that I AM THE MANAGEMENT.

Now, I see y’all scrollin’ past me for them fancy little fluffy dogs.

That’s alright. I understand.

They look like they belong on a Christmas card.

I look like I know a guy who can get your catalytic converter fixed for forty bucks and a case of Busch Light.

BUT BABY, I’M A GOOD DOG. šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

And underneath all this old-man foolishness is a fella who’d really, REALLY like to have a family of his own.

I don’t need to be the prettiest dog on Facebook.

I just wanna be somebody’s favorite.

So whattya say?

COME GET YOURSELF A DUKE. 🤠

I got plenty of life left, a whole lotta love to give, and enough personality to keep your entire household entertained.

FOSTER FEATURE FRIDAY! 🐾🌵
ā¤ļø Meet Kimberly — One of the Beautiful Hearts Behind Cactus Ranch Rescue! ā¤ļø

Every Friday, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the incredible humans who make our mission possible. Because behind every rescued animal, every second chance, and every happy ending is someone who opened their heart and home. šŸ”ā¤ļø

And we couldn’t think of a sweeter person to kick off our Foster Feature Friday series than our wonderful Kimberly! 🄹

Kimberly has been both an adopter AND a foster with Cactus Ranch Rescue, and when we tell you this woman loves her babies, WE MEAN IT! šŸ˜‚ā¤ļø

Her dogs aren’t just loved. They’re spoiled absolutely ROTTEN, treated like royalty, and given the kind of life every rescue animal deserves.

But Kimberly’s journey with rescue is about so much more than just loving dogs. It’s about finding purpose during some of life’s hardest moments, discovering healing through helping others, and realizing that sometimes the animals we save end up saving a little piece of us, too. ā¤ļø

šŸ’Œ A WORD FROM KIMBERLY:

ā€œI adopted my Oscar from CRR. He was a puppy and a lot for me to handle as he got bigger. I wanted better for him as I got diagnosed with cancer. CRR helped me rehome him. Luckily, they let me visit him still, and he’s a part of us.

I was overwhelmed and sad. Seeing the posts and realizing there were so many animals living terrible lives with no future touched my heart in so many ways.

Previously, all of our animals came to us — strays, animals people couldn’t care for, or animals we found. We were blessed by each one of them. Continuing that, even if it were just to get them to a good home, gave me purpose.

I’ve only fostered two dogs so far, and they both are amazing little souls.

First was Felix/Teddy. The first time I picked him up, he wrapped around my neck like he was hugging me! Needless to say, I failed that one. But he’s living his happily ever after with us.

Then we got Fluff Bucket. Man, what a transformation! Not sure if he was changed, or if he changed us. He was a scraggly, matted mess covered in ticks. Poor little guy walked in here as if nothing was wrong and stole all our hearts.

I’m so happy to get to be a part of that. Now he gets to share that love with his new family in NY.

That would be my favorite foster moment. Knowing that we helped change his life, and he will go on to change others.

All that joy in one little dog.ā€ ā¤ļø

🄹 KIMBERLY, NOW IT’S OUR TURN.

There are some people who come into rescue and leave a mark that goes far beyond the animals they foster. Kimberly is one of those people.

Through her own personal battles, she still found room in her heart to help animals fighting battles of their own.

She didn’t wait until life was perfect. She didn’t need a huge house, endless resources, or years of experience. She simply saw animals who needed someone and decided she could BE that someone.

And the beautiful thing? She understands that fostering isn’t just about giving an animal somewhere to stay.

It’s about giving them a chance to become who they were always meant to be.

🐾 Felix/Teddy found his forever home right there in her arms. That’s what we call a good old-fashioned FOSTER FAIL! šŸ˜‚ā¤ļø

🐾 Fluff Bucket came into her home a neglected, tick-covered, matted little mess and left with a future full of love, all the way in New York!

Two dogs. Two completely different journeys. Two lives forever changed.

And one incredible woman who helped make it happen.

Kimberly, we love you SO much. Thank you for trusting us with Oscar, for opening your home to our babies, for loving them like they’re your own, and for being part of this crazy, emotional, beautiful rescue family. šŸŒµā¤ļø

We hope you know that you are just as much a blessing to us as you are to the animals who get to experience your love.

THIS is why fostering matters. ā¤ļø

You don’t have to foster 50 animals to make a difference. You don’t even have to foster five.

Sometimes, changing the world starts with changing the world for just ONE.

And sometimes, that one little dog changes yours right back. 🄹
