$40,000 Goal
PrideRock Wildlife Refuge is a safe haven and shelter for wildlife that have been abused, abandoned, confiscated, neglected or that can no longer be properly cared for by their owners, for whatever reason. Our Primary focus is currently Lions, Tigers, Cougars, a Hyena, Bears, Wolves, & Wolf Hybrids. We are located on 9 acres of land, about thirty miles east of Dallas in Kaufman county, Texas. All of our rescues have found their 'forever home' at PrideRock, and will be with us to the end of their days.
We are not open to the public, we do not profit from admission or exhibition of our animals, and we do not breed or broker our animals.
PrideRock creates species-appropriate enclosures with enrichment and recreational areas for its residents, with each animal being given specific dietary and nutritional provisions, as well as veterinary care.
Our purpose online is to make the public aware of the crisis so many wildlife species in this nation face, and the surging need for safe sanctuaries to shelter those born into captivity and unable to survive in the wild.
The Projects and Fundraisers on this site will help you understand what is required to properly care and provide for these magnificent creatures and encourage your support of PrideRock by donating directly to the shelter, adopting an animal, and/or volunteering to work at the sanctuary.

Giving Activity
Mission
PrideRock’s mission is to aid in the prevention of animal cruelty by providing a home for unwanted and abused wild animals. Each accepted animal is given our solemn promise to be safe and cared for during the remainder of their lives. Big cats, bears, and other exotic wildlife were never intended to be pets, which has often led to a tragic end for the animal, the owner, or both.
We spare no expense to provide anything possible for our animals’ well-being, and in order for us to accomplish our mission, we must create enclosures for each species of animal that calls PrideRock home. These enclosures include recreational and enrichment areas to help maintain the activity requirements for the health of the individual species. Each animal receives species-specific diets and nutritional supplements as needed, and veterinary care is also available.
It’s not enough to just take care of our animals, as we see that it’s also our duty to educate the public and spread the word as to why we exist. While PrideRock is a private facility and not open to the public, we provide educational opportunities through different programs, internships, group projects, and volunteering.
Needs
This North Texas Giving Day, we have set an ambitious goal: to raise $40,000 that will directly contribute to the vital improvements and updates needed on our property at PrideRock Wildlife Refuge. Rather than initiating new construction, our focus is on revitalizing six currently vacant enclosures, transforming them into three expansive habitats for big cats in need of a safe and nurturing environment. This ambitious project comes with a significant price tag of over $130,000 underscoring the scale of our mission.
The funds raised on North Texas Giving Day will mark a crucial step forward, albeit just the beginning of this costly endeavor. Your support on September 19th, 2024, will enable us to initiate these transformations at PrideRock. By contributing, you will not only help us meet our financial goals but also play a direct role in furthering our mission to combat animal cruelty. Your generosity will provide a sanctuary for wild animals that have been neglected or abused, offering them a second chance at life in a secure and loving environment.
Join us on North Texas Giving Day and help make these ambitious projects a reality. Together, we can make a lasting difference at PrideRock Wildlife Refuge and continue our commitment to protecting and caring for animals in need. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring us closer to our goal and make a meaningful impact on the lives of these majestic creatures.
