Brendon and Brian found themselves having to replace a car unexpectedly. Brian had already left with Brendon's SUV and their boys. Brendon looked up while waiting to sign papers and spotted this sweet girl looking through the glass. After checking with staff it was apparent she was dumped. Brendon sprung into action enlisting DoorDash to have a crate brought to the dealership. Our dasher Jordan was amazing. A huge shout out to Parkway Family Kia in Kingwood for allowing Brendon to bring her into the showroom and free roam while he secured a crate and signed paperwork. Hands down top notch service 👏 She will be vetted and ready for adoption via Petco in a few weeks. Her and Bren were meant to cross paths tonight. We were just feet from highway 59 with constant fast moving traffic.

From Everyone Here At Dude's Animal Ranch and Sanctuary We Wish Everyone A Happy Easter 🐰

Here is a short video of our newest intakes. 2 bottle 🍼 babies (Kit & Kat) 2 male kittens who came to us from an LCISD bus depot by a concerned bus driver. They arrived Thursday afternoon and already look 1000 times better and are becoming more and more active. We added some toys 🧸 today to get them engaged in playing.

If you are interested in submitting an application for either of these two handsome boys head on over to www.darstx.org to start the process.

We believe they are 2-3 weeks old. They will be ready for their forever homes sometime in mid August.

Sue Ellen got her first bath today and she turned a brighter shade of white. She was covered in fleas and flea dirt. Since she's so young all we can use is original blue Dawn. It will take a few baths to rid her of all her friends but we got a bunch! She is already more playful and will sleep good tonight 😌

If you are a 90's cult movie fan you will know where we got this little gals name.

We have named her Sue Ellen! She went for her first vet visit yesterday after her traumatic beginning... she is healthy with no signs of trauma... she is about a month old and appears to be a flame point. She is very outspoken and we love having her with us. When she isn't working on the QED report or figuring out how to use a fax machine she is coordinating a fashion show for GAW!

If you are interested in applying to adopt this gal on a mission head on over to our website at www.darstx.org and fill out an application. We would love to have her forever ❤️ home in place once she reaches the 4 month mark.

ADOPTIONS:

Over the last few days we have got a lot of requests to adopt the kittens in our care. Please note we will not adopt any animal out to their forever home until they reach the 4 month mark. The kittens in our care are 3-4 weeks old and still nursing on mama.

We will allow pre adoption so we can have forever homes in place for them once they reach that milestone and are fully vetted. If interested you are welcome to fill out an application by using the following link. Once approved your new kitten will be ready to go home at 4 months old.

SAVING LIVES

We were contacted this morning about a kitten needing help that had been through a traumatic experience yesterday. The story is bellow:

"Around 1PM I was driving down Greenhouse going north from I-10. I was approaching Saums Road, when the light turned green a vehicle in the left lane dropped a bag of kittens into the street. I tried to get my car into park and hop out to save them but a car ran over two of them. I ran after the only kitten left and was finally able to pick it up and bring it back to my car."

The finder was able to get in contact with us after the help of our amazing friend Jodie. Brendon went and picked this sweet baby up this morning. From all outward appearances this sweet baby looks unharmed but understandably terrified. We will be getting her to the vet in the morning for a exam. She is eating some liquified wet food and settling in.

As always donations are very much appreciated. www.darstx.org/donate
