Rescues, Shelters, & Fosters near you

I was in Dog Rescue as VP of a large 501c3 dog rescue for 7 years after living a life of being an animal lover and taking in all hurt / strays etc I could afford. While part of teh dog rescue, I independently rescued a tiny kitten that had been attacked by something. That cat is now a wonderful part of our family with a missing tail, missing ear and he's blind in one eye! I realized then that there are in Dallas probably 5 dog rescues for every cat rescue and thus began my journey to start A Voice for All Paws. I spent about a year putting the pieces together and planning and became a 501c3 reality in July 2018.

The Little Lion Foundation is a volunteer based 501c3 dedicated to saving the lives of orphaned and bottle fed kittens from euthanasia in our local animal shelters. We pride ourselves on saving the ones left discarded-whether it be a difficult to place bottle baby, kittens with birth defects, or traumas, we believe that every cat deserves to roar.

Our organization is primarily a TNR program but we also take in sick/injured and pull from our local shelters when euthanasia is eminent when possible. Our area has a 78% euthanasia rate for cats and we are the only feline based rescue in south eastern KY meaning we have a huge and very much needed role to play. Our director is a veterinary technician at our vet clinic and seeing these things first hand and how poorly our area regards cats influenced her to begin our program.

We rescue cats (some dogs too) from animal control, kill shelters, people that find them. We Vet them, vaccinate, de-worm, de-flea, spay/neuter (when age appropriate) and find them their forever home. I am available for assistance with questions about caring for & helping cats too.

We are a foster based rescue that rescues cats, dogs, domestic animals from shelters. We spay/neuter, vet the animal, and find furever homes. We are just starting out so we are on the smaller side. We have adopted about 30 cats in 2018.

Because every single animal has value, the Hill Country SPCA is dedicated to: Preventing cruelty and neglect of domesticated animals in the Texas Hill Country Reducing the number of homeless and unwanted companion animals Eliminating euthanasia of unwanted animals Fostering responsible pet ownership Providing shelter and placement services for homeless and unwanted animals

We started over a year ago removing the dogs from the Union Cty Animal Control. Up until last week we have had zero dogs euthanized from this facility by networking, transporting dogs to rescues and fosters. We have saved over 200 dogs from this facility that was 100% a kill shelter not open to the public

We are the Doghouse Rescue Academy and Education Network, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit - we are more than just your typical Rescue. We are animal advocates and rescuers, we rehabilitate and we re-home. We educate the public on resources that are available to them, spay & neuter, and offer training. We are working very closely with rural high kill shelters and pull dogs to completely get them to see a vet, evaluate, rehabilitate and re-home.

Matty's story: I started to see Matty's picture posted on the MG Impound Dogs page in late October of 2012. Matty and his "mate", Athena, were in jail for bite quarantine. They were playing and a lady got scratched by either a tooth or a claw, and they could not determine by which dog. The owners knew Athena and Fatty (Matty's actual name from owner, Cheryl changed it because he was no Fatty) were there, but they didn't have the funds to pay for fees and vetting. Athena was rescued. From the time I saw Matty's picture, the one where he is sitting on Cheryl's shoes, I knew I needed him. I asked numerous big and small rescues if they would please pull Matty for me. Their answers were all the same, we have a blue Pit Bull you can adopt. No, it had to be Matty! Matty's time was coming near and they scheduled a euthanasia date. I was in tears daily. Finally, though, last minute, the day before he was to be killed, Amber from One of a Kind Pet Rescue said she would pull him for me! I was ecstatic! I picked Matty up from the impound on January 2nd, 2013. He wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for me...and he didn't become a statistic....he is truly my heart & soul. He brought Cheyenne and I out of a deep depression over losing Teddy, my Chow Chow, to Lymphoma. Matty started my learning journey into rescue. I havent been in very long. I have held many roles ( vetting, intake, foster, events and fundraising coordinator to just name a few) in the rescues I have been in, and I have fostered about 100 puppies. I was blinded, ignorant of all that was happening prior to Matty. My blinders were lifted, Matty and I, with some friends would like to make a bigger impact. Help more dogs and cats find their second chance at love and life just like Matty did. Wont you help us? Matty's Heart & Soul Animal Rescue. Mission is to bring hope back to the discarded, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs and cats, and provide them with all they need in a loving foster family until they find their perfect forever home. To be their voice and right all wrongs.

We are cat lovers who rescue as many cats as we can take in. We have them tested, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and wormed then find them forever homes. We also participate in monthly tnr projects that trap 50 feral cats per month. Provide food for colony cats.

Lee Shore is a collective of women with a shared passion for animals. The rescue was founded in 2017 by Paulina Putnam and Alison Shanahan, who had each worked in rescue for a number of years and recognized a need for a rescue that served animals who couldn't be adopted right away. These animals were pregnant, too young, or in need of physical or psychological rehabilitation. Both Paulina and Alison had her own unique talents. Paulina had successfully rehabilitated many dogs when others had pronounced the case impossible. Alison had a passion for the mothers and babies. They started Lee Shore with these distinct goals in mind: to bring in those rehab, maternity, and pediatric cases who aren't ready for adoption now, but who can be made ready for life as a companion with the right care. ​This remains our mission. In the three years since our founding, we have saved over four hundred animals, and we hope to continue to grow and fight for the voiceless.

Mesquite Animal Pawtners is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that helps Mesquite animals both in and out of the shelter. We are focused on programs that will reduce the number of animals entering the shelter such as trap-neuter-return for community cats, assistance with spaying and neutering of owned pets, and public education. We support Mesquite Animal Services by encouraging fostering and volunteerism. We are dedicated to bettering the lives of animals in Mesquite.

We are a dog rescue that accepts all breeds of dog. We utilize fosters to house our dogs until we can find suitable permanent homes for them.
