Each one of them has enriched our lives and filled our hearts beyond measure. Two have been foster failures. This group of people is the best group I’ve ever been associated with. They go above and beyond to save these babies and make sure they make it into a loving home. I am proud to be associated with them and will support them as long as I liveShannon Amrhein
Texas Husky Rescue
Texas Husky Rescue, Inc. was created in May 2009 as a non-profit 501(c)3 animal rescue organization that is run entirely by volunteers and does not have a paid staff or a shelter. Texas Husky Rescue, Inc relies solely on volunteer foster families to take huskies into their homes until permanent, qualified, and loving homes can be found. Texas Husky Rescue, Inc. is a responsible animal adoption agency and ensures that none of our dogs will ever contribute to the overpopulation of dogs in our community. The work of Texas Husky Rescue, Inc. is supported by tax-deductible contributions by individuals, corporations, and grants.
Our initial goal when we began in 2009 was to save 30 huskies from area shelters. We have rescued over 2,500 and counting.

So I adopted Frankie, a 3 year old Red Eared Slider, after being here for about a month. I have always wanted a turtle and up to being employed here it wasn't really an option. Although while she was in the shelter she did not have the proper set up, mostly due to the fact that turtles need a lot of space which can be expensive, she was honestly the best decision I have ever made. While a turtle definitely isn't for everyone there is one thing for sure, she is perfect for me. She makes me so happy to come home and see her so excited to see me when I walk into my room. After a long day at work there is nothing I look forward to more than seeing Frankie. She was healthy when I brought her home and with her new set up is thriving and living the best life a turtle could ever ask for.Emma Sparkman

SAVING AUSSIES IN THE DFW & SURROUNDING AREAS
Two young women were helping out with two separate rescues when they crossed paths trying to help a dog for one another. They quickly became close friends. After they agreed that they each had a conflict of interest with the rescue they were helping they decided to work together to start their very own rescue and that was the day NTASR was born. While the president has amazing experience in the breed, the vice president has great experience in animal welfare administration so together they made the perfect pair. NTASR helps Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, and mixes of the two. They are open to working with other working or herding dogs as well depending on the circumstances. Don't think for a second these two women won't jump to help a dog in emergent need. Thus far, several other breeds have made their way through the rescue because of their kind and caring hearts including a doodle, a dachshund, a frenchie, and a shar pei. NTASR takes behavioral and medical dogs and gets them the appropriate rehab to be able to find them the perfect forever home. Aussies are such special breeds and deserve very particular and experienced homes.

Dallas Street Dog Advocates
Dallas Street Dog Advocates (DSDA) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that was formed by volunteers who care about the loose and stray street dog problem in Dallas.
What we have learned from our experience in rescuing dogs off the street is that many of them are highly adoptable. They yearn to love and be loved and deserve to be healthy, happy and have a home of their own. We have also learned that the people that live in the areas, where the stray dog problems are the worst, want our help. They are instrumental in helping us catch the strays by establishing feeding schedules and routines. They also tell us about the dog's history. Some are left when their owners move out. Some are tossed from moving cars. Some are born on the street to dogs that have been abandoned. The list goes on and on. If you can think of it, it has happened. The people have watched these dogs die of starvation, dehydration and heat stroke. They have watched them suffer after being hit by a car and left lying on the street. The dogs and the people living in these conditions need our help.
These dogs are typically socialized and do very well once they are rescued off the streets and given time to decompress. Dallas Street Dog Advocates goal is to rescue as many adoptable dogs off the streets as we can find foster homes for and have the funds to care for. After they are healthy and have lived in a foster home, then we find them forever homes. We see ourselves as a "bridge" between the homeless street dogs and their forever families.
We also want to serve the people who live amongst this problem by offering them dog food, flea and tick prevention, education on caring for their dogs and connecting them with available resources to have their dog spayed or neutered.
Together with the help of our volunteers and supporters, coupled with our passion and love for dogs, we will make a difference in Dallas one dog, one home, and one community at a time.

The Pawerful Rescue
https://data.sniffspot.com/full-fit-in/768x512/Photos/SeoDogRescue/1128/887f9f9c0773-Capture.PNGOne of the most incredible rescue duos on this earth. I have witnessed their hearts bleed for the love of many dogs they save, whose lives are forever changed because of hoomans like Steph and Duke. They're truly an inspiration and deserve so much love for being the best kind of humans who walk this earth.Kathleen Nguyen
The Pawerful Rescue
The Pawerful Rescue was established in 2019 as a 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue, but our founder, Stephanie, had already been rescuing strays for years.
We all have a friend like that‚ don't we?
No matter where she went, Stephanie would find an animal in need. It wasn't until Stephanie moved to South Los Angeles, though, that she experienced an overwhelming number of animals in need. From that point, The Pawerful Rescue grew organically. What was once just a person picking up strays and trying to reunite, vet, or rehome these little souls, morphed into an organization that is made up of like-minded individuals making a difference.
Duke Hemstreet joined the rescue in 2020 and has been an instrumental part in the rescue flourishing.
Our rescue has expanded into Texas, where we dream of building a sanctuary for those fur babies that need a place to call home. Our goal has always been to find the perfect home for our rescues, but if that perfect home never comes, they get to live out their days with us!
We Rescue the Ones That Need the Most Rescuing!
Every rescue is different. Some are breed specific or even age specific. We've rescued everyone from a five-pound miniature Poodle, to a 100-pound paralyzed Great Dane. We gravitate toward animals with extreme medical, behavioral, and other special needs as well as senior dogs. They aren't the easiest cases, but certainly the most fulfilling to watch transform.
As The Pawerful Rescue continues to grow, we look forward to sharing every part of the journey with you.

Dog Ranch Rescue, Inc.
https://data.sniffspot.com/full-fit-in/768x512/Photos/SeoDogRescue/1149/ce58826d1c3d-Capture.JPGDog Ranch Rescue does the most amazing work in actively going to dog auctions and buying dogs that otherwise would be put (back) into puppy mills as breeders. They especially focus on dogs that are older or hurt in some way (missing a limb, blind, etc.) so they can bring some love and happiness to these neglected and mistreated poor babies.
DRR partners with vets in the area to immediately address as many issues as possible and restore the dogs to health. Sometimes one of these rescues don't make it because the prior abuse was too awful, but those sweet puppy angels get to experience a little love and a good meal before they pass, held in gentle, caring arms instead of a filthy cage. It makes me tear up even writing this.
Once the dogs are healthy, they are introduced to the pack, which have a huge beautiful outside area to explore and play in, plus a very large indoor area complete with comfy couches and all the amenities a dog could ever want. For those who need extra special care until adoption, they are put in foster care to ensure they get everything they need.
DRR has strict requirements for foster homes and adoptees, making sure these special dogs are given a loving and safe environment with people who are willing and able to care for any special needs. They are very hands on in every aspect of rescuing these dogs... this isn't just a side project or day job for them. They ARE the rescue.Rebecca Moore
Dog Ranch Rescue, Inc.
As the Lone Star Dog Ranch began to develop a following on social media, Renee Eden was contacted by multiple rescue groups asking for her help and expertise in rescuing dogs on death row, discarded breeder dogs, and dogs in shelters. She found that she had the facility (the Lone Star Dog Ranch), the expertise, the passion and energy to devote time to dogs in need.
In 2014 Dog Ranch Rescue, Inc. was founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Dog Ranch Rescue is a separate non-profit business from the Lone Star Dog Ranch boarding facility. The rescue has it's own building and property adjacent to the Lone Star Dog Ranch property in Anna, TX. The rescue was formed to rescue and rehabilitate dogs in need from various sources, such as puppy mills, local shelters and strays. The rescue provides medical help for each dog, houses them, rehabilitates, socializes and trains them. The rescue accepts donations from the public that help cover all aspects of the cost associated with this process. When the dogs are restored to good health, spayed, neutered and have all of their needs met physically and socially we take the necessary steps to rehome them. Each home that a dog is placed in goes through a rigorous application and review process to ensure a positive outcome. If the placement of the dog is not a good fit the dog is accepted back into the rescue and the process begins again.
Since our inception in 2014 over 2,000 dogs have come through the door of Dog Ranch Rescue and gone on to enjoy a very happily ever after.

I see all the time how resource constrained DAS is being a municipal shelter. Friends of DAS (FODAS) fills in so many gaps where the city funding is not enough. FODAS is a true grassroots group. It’s run by active volunteers in the shelter who saw and need and did something about it. Being one of the top 10 largest shelters in the country, DAS has a huge animal population (1,359 as of today). Issues come up quick. If the A/C goes out FODAS will swoop in and get cooling pads and fans that day. If there is a disease outbreak and they need to get 100 dogs adopted in a weekend to clear space for separation- FODAS provides incentive gift cards. There are so many more examples. FODAS is an example of people seeing gaps in the community and doing something about it- making stuff happen.Kristy Tharp

They'll do anything and everything possible to change a dogs life from the depths of despair, many on deaths door, to happy well adjusted dogs that love life. The most amazing part of Emotional Rescue is that "mama" Shannon speaks dog . She knows what each individual dog needs and finds a way to give it to them. They are what all rescues should be.Jodi Openheim

We believe in not only helping the animals but educating the public and the community on how to do better.

Operation Kindness is a no-kill organization that partners with over 100 shelters and rescue groups. They provide dogs not only with larger sized kennels but also a large outdoor area where volunteers can provide interaction and walk the dogs. They also have an on-site animal hospital, operate a community pet food pantry, provide disaster response support (among other things).
I adopted both of my dogs from Operation Kindness. Their staff is so helpful and kind, welcoming me every weekend for a few months before I found my first sweetie who had been rescued from a puppy mill. A year later I decided she needed a companion and looked again, bringing my first pup with me for a couple meet-and-greets. They were so thoughtful and gentle with her as she shook in fear (I'm sure scared she was being abandoned 😭) and provided the use of an office with a blanket on the floor so she didn't have to pass through the kennels and could calm down enough to be introduced. She settled on an adorable puppy who was the runt of a litter that had been born to a dog abandoned to the shelter. They are such a joy and I am so thankful for a no-kill shelter that protected them until I could find them!Rebecca Moore
Operation Kindness
Operation Kindness is a pioneer in Texas for assisting animals in need of veterinary care, companionship and most of all, a home. We operate a lifesaving animal shelter in Carrollton, TX.
In addition to pet adoptions and lifesaving medical care, our programs provide foster care for vulnerable animals, resources for pet parents, affordable veterinary services for community pets, a pet food pantry and volunteer opportunities.

Border Collie Rescue & Rehab

They know the breed and once you adopt - you’re family!Brittany Clark
Border Collie Rescue & Rehab
We are a network of volunteer foster homes, which means all dogs adopted through us come from loving, caring homes straight to you. Since we don't use a holding facility, our dogs come to their new homes calm, relaxed, and ready for a new life, rather than being nervous and traumatized from the noise and chaos of a shelter. We evaluate, rescue, and rehabilitate abandoned Border Collies, as well as other herding breeds, and find homes that will love and cherish them forever.
All of our dogs have been fully vetted to include all vaccinations, heartworm test (and treatment, if necessary), spay/neuter, and a microchip with Border Collie Rescue & Rescue contact information. Upon adoption, you will be provided with physical proof of all treatments and veterinary reports, along with a rabies tag and chip information.
We will never withhold any animal information and are happy to disclose exactly where we got our dogs from and when. Our dogs have been temperament tested and reside in foster homes with active and diverse families just like yours! Our dogs are crate trained and housebroken and have received basic obedience training using only positive reinforcement techniques such as leading, shaping, R+, and counter-conditioning.
We believe a rescued dog brings experiences with them when rescued, and with our loving rehabilitation, they become perfect life partners. Their backgrounds may vary from breeders to farm dogs to strays but all of them deserve the unconditional love they will be glad to give their new families. We bring them into our homes and rehabilitate them by providing love, structure, and routine. We mend wounds and clean them up both emotionally and physically.
We know you have many choices of rescues to choose from. However, we believe once you get to know us, you will find our rescue family to be the perfect match for you and your family.
Border Collie Rescue & Rehab is a 501(c)(3) registered rescue.

Good Neighbors Animal Rescue
https://sniffspot.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/placeholder.pngGood Neighbors Animal Rescue
GNAR was formed as a local solution to provide a hub for neighbors to come together to save pets and strays, and as a tax-deductible method to pool and distribute shared resources. We offer (and accept) as much or as little assistance to and from neighbors as is required or requested to facilitate the safety, health, and adoption of our community animals in need.
Examples that are put into action every day are the loans and donations of unused dog crates, pet carriers, collars, bowls, beds and more, which would otherwise be just accumulating dust in our neighbors' garages. These help keep a momma and her kittens safely housed indoors while they grow to adoptable ages, or help a foster home to train and keep their own pets separate from a new dog brought in from the street while waiting for vaccinations, testing, and neutering.
But most of all, GNAR neighbors work towards the larger goal of keeping the stray population in control to reduce the suffering of unwanted, homeless, and neglected animals.

Approximately 4 million adoptable dogs & cats are killed each year due to overpopulation. We have many wonderful mixed breed pets that make wonderful companions. If you have your heart set on a specific breed, before you check out a dog breeder or pet store, why not adopt a pet from a breed rescue organization? Breed rescues are groups that specialize in a particular breed of dog or cat. Any homeless animal that you can bring into your family from a rescue or shelter, is truly a life saved

Tens of thousands of dogs are put to sleep or die on the streets of Dallas every year and we are here to make a difference in the lives of the dogs to follow. Through our efforts, we hope to get as many forgotten dogs off the streets as possible and show them that the world has not turned its back on them. We are a non-profit, so we operate through donations and fundraisers with the help of volunteers and private citizens of Dallas who truly care about the forgotten dogs out there.

Mazie's Mission
https://sniffspot.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/placeholder.pngMazie's Mission
Mazie’s Mission has a multi-tiered approach to animal welfare.
Our primary focus is the rescue hospital. We are the only veterinary clinic of it's kind in the country, serving only pets in the rescue system. We do not see privately owned pets.
The rest of Mazie's mission includes our community outreach programs, our rescue program, and our forensic veterinary medicine division. We want to do everything in our power to help the underserved, homeless, and abused pets in our area.
We started The Mission by rescuing as many special needs animals as we could, cured them, and placed them in forever homes. These animals were extremely ill pets or animals destined for euthanasia.
In January, 2014 we opened the very first non-profit veterinary clinic that serves rescue organizations only. The Mission desires to lease this facility short term while we are looking for appropriate land to build the permanent facility. We need ~10 acres to build an ‘Animal Headquarters’ that will become synonymous with animal welfare. Read more about our future below and here!
We hope the clinic will fund a land purchase. Once the land has been secured, donations will help build a clinic and holding facilities for the animals. Dr. Shults will continue to serve rescues only. We would be thrilled if this was wildly successful and other vets in other large cities followed suit. If we can make vet care much cheaper for rescues, then they will rescue more animals, then the euthanasia rate will decrease.
Dr. Shults is training in Veterinary Forensics so that we can be a driving force in puppy mill seizures, animal cruelty/neglect cases, and hoarding situations. She hopes to aid prosecutors and law enforcement in bringing justice to the innocent.
What Inspired the Mission?
During her years in private practice, she saw rescue organizations struggling to stay afloat, often not able to pay for care even if they desperately wanted to. She also saw many owners requesting euthanasia instead of treating the animals in need of care. Dr. Shults truly began to feel she needed to move away from private practice and concentrate on homeless animals. She truly believes that every animal deserves exceptional veterinary care regardless of being homeless.
Who is Mazie?
Mazie’s Mission is named after Dr. Shults’ dog Mazie. Mazie was her very first shelter dog, and they developed a bond that was uncanny. She also developed many diseases over her lifetime including hypothyroidism and Cushings disease. Dr. Shults was treating both quite successfully until Mazie was diagnosed with lymphoma on Dec 23, 2009. Chemotherapy was attempted but discontinued when she deteriorated. She was put to rest in April 2010. We can not wait to see her at the bridge.

Code Red Animal Project Inc.
https://sniffspot.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/placeholder.pngCode Red Animal Project Inc.
Born as a husband and wife endeavor, Code Red Animal Project is a labor of love. In the summer of 2022, in light of the steep increase in shelter intakes at Fort Worth area shelters, Jyl and Brian became prolific local fosters. They made strong ties with shelters, local fosters, animal transporters, and rescues near and far. In their experiences, it became apparent that there can never be enough hands on the deck of animal welfare, and Code Red Animal Project was born. CRAP seeks to rescue domestic animals from urgent situations: code red and last call shelter lists, owner surrenders, and community rescues, giving these "urgent" animals the time, space and resources to decompress, heal, socialize, and develop the skills to be successful in their forever homes. CRAP matches our adoptable animals to loving families, and facilitates their transport to their homes. We strive to make a positive change in all of our pursuits and inspire others along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
At Code Red Animal Project, animals come first. Each animal under our care is an individual, and there is no time limit on their stay with us. We are willing to work with behavioral and medical conditions, and often take in animals that have been overlooked or mislabeled. Our greatest assets in serving these animas is our teamwork and flexibility. We value the diverse experience, areas of expertise, and opinions of our collaborators, volunteers, and team members. There is strength in numbers, and with community as our pillar, we hope to positively impact animal welfare in Fort Worth, TX, and beyond.
EQUITY STATEMENT
At Code Red Animal Project Inc's core is the pillar of collaboration and inclusivity. We see the beauty and value of each living being, and promote a culture of respect, kindness, dignity and love. Inclusivity drives our success and we value the unique strengths and identity of community of volunteers, fosters, and supporters. As such, we expect all Code Red Animal Project Inc. representatives to treat others with respect, dignity and love, regardless of their beliefs, identities or choices. This extends to our board members, volunteers, fosters, networkers, and anyone who chooses to align with our mission. We recognize that differences in age, gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, physical ability, thinking style, and background are the unique differences that contribute to the success of our rescue organization. Just as we help animals in need, regardless of their breed, we welcome all partners, volunteers and adopters whose energy aligns with our mission. The spirit of connection and inclusion drive increased creativity and meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
City of Denton Animal Services
https://sniffspot.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/placeholder.png3717 N. Elm St.
Denton, TX 76207
dallasTexasUS
City of Denton Animal Services
Denton Animal Services operates out of the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center, located at 3717 N. Elm. The shelter opened in February 2015, thanks to the efforts of the Denton Animal Support Foundation (DASF), who raised $2 million to help fund construction of the facility.
On Nov. 7, 2023, voters approved Proposition D of the 2023 Bond Package, including funding for the expansion of the Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center. The expansion project will improve the overall shelter environment and capacity to meet the growing community and animal needs. The shelter is consistently at capacity for animals, resulting in periods where over 100+ animals are on a waiting list for a place at the shelter. By 2030, animal intake is projected to increase by 38%. The expansion will create additional space for animals, improve functionality, increase housing areas, and promote shelter disease prevention.
The Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center includes a vet clinic, care areas, and an adoption center. As a municipal shelter, Denton Animal Services must accept all animals surrendered by residents, regardless of breed or condition. The shelter must also accept animals rescued as stray or abandoned, and those seized for abuse or neglect.
Mutts & Mittens
https://sniffspot.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/placeholder.pngMutts & Mittens
Mutts & Mittens was born when two people decided to follow their hearts and help those without a voice. We take the abandoned, abused and forgotten mutts and mittens, mend their physical wounds and heal their broken souls. We teach these precious creatures how to trust again and give them a new beginning. Through education, dedication and tons of love our goal is to end the suffering and loneliness…one at a time until they all have a home.
Bill Myers and Juanita Myers have different backgrounds with different forte’s, but we have one thing in common: our love and dedication to these dogs and cats. Together we represent a driving force to help these creatures that love us unconditionally despite what happens to them.
From the moment we lay hands on an animal we start the rehabilitation process. Whether they come to us fully vetted or flea ridden, mangy, sick or injured, our protocol starts with a full vet check and proper medication. Once they are feeling better we begin socialization and basic training while we look for the perfect fit for them.
Mutts & Mittens is currently foster based, but we hope to have a physical location soon. Currently we work with animals in the DFW metroplex area as well as Weatherford, Hudson Oaks and Aledo. For more information please email us at info@muttsandmittens.org.

Duck Team 6
We are a 501(c) (3) non- profit organization that rescues dogs from the streets of Dallas. We are an all-volunteer group that captures hard-to-catch dogs that have lived their lives as strays. We are not a shelter so we rely on fosters and other rescue organizations to assist us until we can find permanent homes for the dogs we capture. We also provide full veterinary care including spay/neuter, microchips, and vaccinations for our ‚ Duck Dogs.
Please keep in mind that your help is needed throughout the process. If you find a dog that you've been trying to catch and you request our assistance, please take the next step and help us find the dog a place to go (foster, rescue, home) once captured. If needed, we will gladly direct you to a list of rescue groups in the DFW metroplex. Please see our ‚Resources Tab‚ for additional information and DT6 Partner Rescue Groups listed. We are deeply thankful for your compassion and willingness to help a dog in need!
Special Note: DT6 performs captures during our spare time (evenings and weekends). As a result, we may not be able to ‚deploy‚ on extremely short notice. We will do our best to remain in contact with Good Samaritans requesting help until we can take action.
Duck Team 6 doesn't just capture dogs! We have an excellent Community Outreach program that provides emergency medical assistance, food, supplies, and run builds for pets that qualify. We are huge advocates of education and litter prevention. We host free vaccination clinics for the community dogs in need as well as promotion or sponsorship of low cost or free spay/neuter surgeries to pet owners who could not afford to do so otherwise.

We are always in need of donations, volunteers, foster homes, and adopters.
Without regard to age, medical condition, or cost of care, GRRALL accepts Golden Retrievers and “Golden hearted” mixes in need of rescue. Many times, the care of these animals runs into the thousands of dollars.
Over 95% of all GRRALL expenses are for veterinary care. For example, a healthy dog that comes from an area shelter can cost the organization $650 before they become available for adoption. They are held in isolation for several days to prevent the spread of contagious disease, receive routine vaccinations, a full medical evaluation to ensure they are healthy, and spay/neuter surgery. Dogs with more serious medical needs (i.e. heartworm disease, kennel cough, internal parasites, distemper, etc.) require more funding. GRRALL’s anticipated expenses for 2020 will exceed $150,000 dollars. GRRALL has rescued over 780 deserving animals since inception in 2010. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible, and 100% of all donations go toward caring for these deserving dogs and finding them a permanent, loving forever home. All GRRALL staff are unpaid volunteers.
