Welcome to The Rescue Ranch!

Pet care experience

Hello everyone! My name is Brad and along with my wife Sundie, we can't wait to spend time with your furry family member! We have 45 years of experience each caring for all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, birds, water life, and more. I have always had a deep love and passion for animals, so much so that when I was growing up it was my dream to have 52 dogs. Why 52 you ask? Well 51 isn't enough and 53 is just too many! Haha!! My wife and I are self-employed artists so we will have lots of time and attention to give to your pets! We spend many days in our studio in the country and it’s a great place for dogs to hang out with us playing (free pick up and delivery provided if you don’t have time for a pretty drive) We have 2 dogs ourself, Maverick a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, and Cash a Jack Russell Terrier who both LOVE to play! While your furry family members are with us they will have a day full of play, lounging, and walks at least twice a day, and cuddling. We also often take field trips to many different local dog parks! Your pup will come home good and tired from a day with our crew!

Neither Griff nor I could be happier with our stay with Brad and Sundie. All the pictures and messages assured me he was having a great time and being very well cared for. My biggest fear was that he was having such a grand time that he wouldn’t want to come home! I highly recommend the Rupperts. We’ll be back!

Brad and Sundie were great! Treated my pup like a member of their own family. Sent me pictures and kept me updated. Will use again!

Brad and Sundie are amazing. They always send me a ton of pictures and updates. I love getting videos of our dog, Deacon, playing with their dogs! Our dog is weary of a lot of people but SO comfortable around Brad and Sundie! They are also so helpful in suggesting food and supplements for his allergies as well!

Information Brad & Sundie R. would like to know about your pet

Our dogs are crate trained and I do request that yours are comfortable in a crate. They will only spend time in crate during non-supervised times when I am out of the house. This is to prevent unforeseen damages at unsupervised times. Please bring anything that will make your pet feel at home, toys, beds, blankets, etc. Pet parent will be responsible for replacement costs or damages if any should occur due to not being crated. If you do not have a crate I would be happy to provide one of our extras for your pet while they stay with me.

A typical day

While your furry family member stays with me they will have lots of time for playing, lounging and napping on their own choice of many beds or couches, long country walks, trips to the dog parks and more! We have a quiet cemetary across the road from our house that our dogs love to walk and run around at.
