WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
“Dallas Dog RESCUES the hurt and abandoned, REHABILITATES the broken, and REFORMS the community through education to eliminate animal neglect.“
MISSION STATEMENT
RESCUE the abandoned, REHABILITATE the broken, and REFORM the community - by utilizing our Serenity Project to promote education we start the conversation and impetus to change animal welfare.
OUR VISION
Our Vision is to construct a community that feels empowered to fight the status quo. We want families backed by the support of fellow animal advocates in times of hardship and for all animals to feel the security of a loving home.
OUR STORY
Officially formed in 2015 as a street rescue for south Dallas, with a handful of dedicated individuals, Dallas Dog has grown from saving a few dogs to saving thousands across the state. Our mission remains focused on saving those facing the greatest odds. Whether abandoned, hurt, or displaced due to
circumstances beyond their choosing, every animal needs a human voice to be their advocate. Texas remains one of the highest states in the country for euthanasia of adoptable dogs and cats. Dallas Dog - along with our supporters - is working to reverse that rank. Change of this magnitude takes time
but we’re making strides and are proud of our accomplishments to date. Rescue is not easy; our team has seen some of the worst human beings have inflicted upon animals. Whether it’s picking up an owner-surrendered animal because they are “too old”, rescuing an injured and bleeding dog from the
street, or going to court to be an animal’s voice for justice, Dallas Dog’s commitment to a rescued animal is ALL IN.
Dallas Dog remains a foster-based rescue; we do not maintain a facility of our own. Our organization depends on - and are very thankful for - the hundreds of foster families and individuals who believe in and support our mission. They open their hearts and homes providing essential decompression, care, love, and rehabilitation for our rescued animals. This environment of safety and compassion gives them the best opportunity to be adopted.
HOW IT HAPPENS
Each day is different. Some dogs we rescue are so desperate to be loved they readily jump into our arms and do not look back. Others are more hesitant. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to earn their trust, these dogs are gradually won over. Regardless of how or when they officially become a Dallas Dog rescue dog, the relieved, ecstatic, or simply exhausted expression on their sweet face during their freedom ride makes a rescue day the best day ever.

“Every animal deserves a chance. We never give up. If we have not found them a home then we have not tried everything yet. We take the unwanted, we take the broken, and we do what others call impossible no matter what the cost.”
