GOOD NEWS: George & Norma Strait Are Building “God’s Country Rescue Ranch” — A Place Where Dogs Learn to Trust Again
Out in the quiet countryside of Texas, something extraordinary is taking shape — not a luxury ranch, not a publicity project, but a true sanctuary for abused and abandoned dogs.
George Strait and his wife, Norma Strait, are quietly building a massive rescue haven called “God’s Country Rescue Ranch.” It’s a multi-million-dollar project, but its real value lies in something far more simple: compassion.
George made one thing clear: “This ain’t just a shelter.”
There are no cold steel cages or isolating walls. Instead, there are wide-open fields where frightened dogs can run until fear falls right off their bodies… top-tier veterinary care… warm beds… and the kind of quiet love that never asks what they endured before.
Norma isn’t standing on the sidelines. She’s hands-on, helping design each space so that it feels like a real home, not a kennel. The goal isn’t just rescue. It’s restoration — teaching broken animals how to trust again.
“Out here, dogs aren’t just pets,” George says.
“They’re family.”
But the detail that has people tearing up?
It’s what they’re planning for the very first group of dogs they’ll bring in.
Because it isn’t what most shelters do — and it quietly says everything about the kind of people George and Norma want to be, even when no one’s watching. 💌
