Rowdy Girl Sanctuary is the evolution of a very special story of two native Texans—one a multi-generational cattle rancher and former hunter; the other one, his wife, an ex-rodeo lover, and former leather cowboy boot collector. Their story went viral when Renee went vegan and bought her husbands herd of cattle and created a 501c3 non-profit out of what was once a cattle ranch. It has turned into a mission to build an organization that rescues farm animals; and to be good stewards of their care forever in a sanctuary determined to become a state of the art animal care facility, and a plant based/environmental resource education center. Rowdy Girl Sanctuary's initiative, The Rancher Advocacy Program, was started as a way to help farmers see that there are other ways to farm without using animals. Bringing farmers, plant based industry and investors together in order to inspire farms to transition away from animal agriculture is Rowdy Girl Sanctuary’s greatest goal.
