About PrideRock Wildlife Refuge
PrideRock Wildlife Refuge is a safe haven for Big Cats that have been abused, abandoned, confiscated or that can no longer be properly cared for by their previous owners for whatever reason. The Refuge is located on 9 acres, thirty miles east of Dallas in Kaufman county, Texas.
PrideRock is a non-profit corporation and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt publicly supported organization.
The Refuge is operated by Gary and Carol Holliman and is currently home to 7 lions, 12 tigers, 8 cougars, and 8 wolf-dogs, and their own menagerie of family dogs.
The PrideRock mission
Big cats were never intended to be pets, as that term is commonly used, and often attempting that endeavor ends in tragedy for either the owner, the cat, or both.
The PrideRock Mission is to prevent cruelty to animals by keeping a solemn promise we make to each animal that is accepted, that this will be their final and permanent home for the remainder of their lives. A committment that has long term economic and personal implications.
The PrideRock story
PrideRock originated as the home for us and our various four-legged friends. Situated on 9 acres of land east of Dallas, Texas, PrideRock is now home to twenty-seven exotic cats, eight wolf dogs, two Akitas, and numerous shelter dogs that were dumped on our road. We started opening our home to these critters back in 1985 when we got Natasha, a Siberian husky who lived with us until she crossed the rainbow bridge in 2001.Frequently Asked Questions
