Giving Activity
Mission
At Save Texas K9s, our mission is to rescue dogs at risk of euthanasia in overcrowded Texas shelters—often minutes from being put down simply because there's no more space.
We are a foster-based rescue that steps in when no one else can, providing urgent medical care, rehabilitation, and love to dogs that others have given up on.
Every dog we save is a life spared, and a second chance created. With a dedicated network of fosters, adopters, volunteers, and donors, we’re rewriting the story for forgotten dogs—one tail at a time.
Needs
Rescue Has No Borders—But It Needs a Foundation
From Texas Kill Shelters to Homes Around the World
At Save Texas K9s, we believe rescue knows no borders.
Every day, we take in the forgotten—the neglected, the abused, the abandoned.
• Dogs on euthanasia lists
• Strays left to survive on their own
• Pregnant moms and nursing litters
• Dogs injured, sick, or emotionally shut down
We provide medical care. We rebuild trust. And we find these dogs loving homes across the U.S.—and beyond.
So far, our dogs have been adopted not just across the United States, including Alaska, but also in Canada, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, and even the United Arab Emirates. On average, we place 40 dogs into forever homes every month.
Our model works because every dog first goes to Judith, our Director, who personally provides medical care, evaluates behavior, begins basic training, and ensures each dog is matched with the right home. This hands-on approach greatly reduces adoption returns and sets our dogs up for success.
But we are outgrowing our current capacity.
To keep saving lives, Judith has donated land to build a permanent shelter—a space designed for safety, stability, and sustainable growth. The facility will include:
• A medical treatment room
• Quarantine space for sick or incoming dogs
• Areas for training, evaluation, and enrichment
All critical steps to help more dogs become adoption-ready.
This is a grassroots, cost-effective project—but we need $30,000 to finish construction.
Rescue can’t happen without a foundation. Will you help us build it?
