💛 Our Impact & Vision
At Rebel Animal Rescue, we believe that meaningful change begins at the community level. Our mission is to reduce shelter overcrowding, prevent unnecessary euthanasia, and provide second chances to animals who would otherwise be overlooked. By focusing on out-of-state transport, accessible resources for pet owners, and strong partnerships with local shelters, we’re working to create a more compassionate and sustainable animal welfare system in the Texas Panhandle.
But our vision doesn’t stop at rescue—we want to build a future where families feel supported in keeping their pets, where shelters are no longer overwhelmed, and where every animal has a safe place to land. Through expanding our facilities, growing our foster network, and offering community programs like our Pet Pantry, we hope to not only save lives—but uplift the entire community along the way.
We’re here for the animals. We’re here for the people who love them. And we’re just getting started.

2024 Year in Review – Rebel Animal Rescue
Rebel Animal Rescue began as a dream shared by a small group of passionate rescuers with over 20 years of combined experience. Recognizing the urgent need for transport in the Texas Panhandle, Rebel was born.On April 23, 2024, we officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In our first year, we:
Launched our organization
Purchased a transport van
Participated in 25 transports to trusted rescue partners
Started a community pet pantry to help keep pets fed and with their families
Welcomed 273 animals into our program by year’s end
It was a wild, beautiful start—and we're just getting going. 🐾

2025
🐾 2025 Impact Overview
Rebel Animal Rescue kicked off 2025 with big goals—and even bigger heart. We’ve continued to grow beyond our foster-based beginnings, expanding our capacity to save lives by adding 5 on-site kennels for dogs and 2 for cats. This milestone allows us to take in more urgent cases, provide safe short-term housing, and respond faster to shelter needs across the Panhandle.
So far in 2025, we've continued our focus on out-of-state transports, rescue partnerships, and community support through our Pet Pantry. And we’re just getting started—our goal is to keep growing our impact, one life at a time.

As Rebel continues to grow, we’re already thinking about what’s next. Our official goals for 2026 will be set toward the end of 2025, but one thing is certain—we’re committed to saving more lives, strengthening our community programs, and continuing to be a voice for the voiceless.
Stay tuned as we build on this year’s momentum and plan for an even greater impact in 2026. The best is yet to come. 🐾
