Big Dog Ranch Rescue: Inside America’s Largest Cage-Free Dog Rescue
In this BIG episode of The Determined Society, we spotlight a mission built on love, action, and second chances.
Lauree Simmons, founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, joins Shawn French to share the incredible story of how one Florida facility became the largest no-kill, cage-free dog rescue in the U.S.
But this is more than a rescue story. It’s about purpose. About choosing to show up — for the voiceless, the forgotten, and the left behind.
From pulling dogs out of kill shelters across the country, to partnering with veterans through their Healing Heroes program, Big Dog Ranch isn’t just saving dogs… they’re rebuilding lives.
**In This Episode:**
-The moment Lauree realized no one was coming — and she had to build something herself
-How Big Dog Ranch has saved over 60,000 dogs (and counting)
-The powerful Healing Heroes program pairing rescued dogs with veterans suffering from PTSD
-The state of animal welfare in America — and why most shelters aren’t what you think
-Why Lauree refuses to settle, compromise, or slow down
-How YOU can help, donate, foster, or adopt — even from across the country
