We provide dog sheltering, stray care, adoptions, and lost and found services. We reunite owners with lost dogs and match adoptable dogs with good homes.
What to expect during the adoption process: Browse our adoptable dogs online and/or visit the shelter during adoption viewing hours. If you are interested in a particular dog, carefully review the dog’s profile and consider your needs and the particular needs of the dog. Contact us if you have questions. Submit an adoption application either online or in person ($10 non-refundable fee). There is a minimum 24 hour waiting time to process new applications. If you already have a pre-approved application, this waiting period does not apply. You will be notified once your application is processed. If your application is approved, an adoption counselor will contact you and have an in depth conversation about your needs and the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are a potential match, the counselor will set a time for a meet and greet with the dog. Please be aware someone else could adopt the dog in the interim. We accept multiple applications for every dog and place dogs with the first suitable adopter that completes the full adoption process. The meet and greet: To reduce stress on the dogs in the shelter and maintain their adoptability, meet and greets are set by appointment only after an approved application and suitability conversation has determined that the adopter is a potential suitable match for the dog. At the appointment, all members of the household are encouraged to attend, but for some dogs, household members over age 16 may not be required to be present. All dogs in the house will need to come to the shelter to meet the dog. It may be a match, or it may not…and that’s ok! If you are not a match for a particular dog, that’s ok, someone will be and we will help you find your right match. If you are a match, you will likely be able to complete the adoption and take the dog home with you following a successful meet and greet.

Agave Dogs Rescue was founded in 2017 after seeing constant pleas on social media from shelters and rescuers in Texas and other Southern states for help with their dog overpopulation crisis. Dogs dumped on the side of the road, dogs minutes from euthanasia unless a rescue tagged them, dogs enduring years of hardship and neglect with owners who didn't or couldn't care for them. We knew th
