We are a rescue and a sanctuary. We rescue domestic animals and farm animals from abuse, abandonment, injury, and certain death; and restore health and trust through a network of kindhearted fosters. Our fosters are vetted after completing an application:
Animals that are rehabilitated and adoptable are spayed, neutered or gelded and placed in thoroughly-vetted forever homes. Those that cannot be adopted live out their lives at Storybook Rescues.
Founder, Merrick Stern, spends a staggering amount of time doing TNR of stray and feral cats throughout South Central Texas. She also holds adoption events, and speaks on the topics of TNR, the importance of sterilizing cats and dogs, and treating all animals humanely.
As of mid August, 2024, well over 400 cats and kittens have passed through Storybook Rescues this calendar year. Forty-six were adopted; the majority were returned to the locations where they were trapped.
Twenty-one dogs, 4 horses, and 8 other species. were also rescued this year.
We do this because we believe all animals deserve a humane environment where they are loved and treated like family.
We have a 3-page adoption application that all interested adopters must complete.
Once the completed application is received, we contact the applicant by phone. References are checked and the adopter's veterinarian is contacted.
If everything is satisfactory, a video of the potential adopter's home is requested, or an in-home visit is scheduled.
The final step is the adoption contract:

Adoption fees vary, depending on the time of year and number of animals that need homes.
