Lucky Glider Rescue & Sanctuary
Animal Rescue & Sanctuary of Bosque County
Why we exist
Our Mission
There is an epidemic of unwanted and abandoned animals in the United States. These include exotic pets and domestic animals that are often “let loose” or neglected. All too often small exotics are purchased “on impulse” at trade shows, flea markets, and pet stores. Breeders and sellers of these animals are often unscrupulous and misleading about how hard it is to care for these animals.
In addition, there are countless farm and ranch animals that are turned loose who are often in need of medical care or malnourished. Lucky Glider Rescue & Sanctuary provides shelter and caring for many of these animals with particular attention to the kinds of animals many rescuers do not have the facilities to handle. These include donkeys, goats, sheep, and some smaller exotics.
