Lost Paws Rescue of Texas is an all volunteer 501(c)3 charity whose sole mission is to rescue abandoned dogs and cats in order to give them a second chance for a new life. We receive dogs and cats from shelters across Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. They also come to us from owner surrender situations; as part of animal cruelty seizure cases; and from breeder releases. We take in dogs and cats with unknown medical conditions and work to get them well enough for adoption. Our story began 15 years ago when the founder, Yvette Garza, decided she would do something we all probably think about...she would “make a difference”. Her love since childhood was animals - so animals it was. So, with $150, a foster dog and cat, she started her charity. And in 2020, 8000+ adoptees later - she is still just as passionate about giving these former unwanted little creatures a good life. Yvette is proof that one person can change a life...or 8000.
1. Go to the page Adoptable Dogs or Adoptable Cats page to view the dogs and cats available for adoption. 2. If you are interested in meeting one of our dogs or cats, go to our Pet Adoption Forms page to find all details of our pet adoption process. 3. Submit your Pet Adoption Application as soon as possible. We approve potential adopters based on the most qualified and earliest received. Most dogs at the adoption events have pre-approved adopters coming to meet them - although there will be several others available for adoption at our events. 4. After your Pet Adoption Form has been reviewed and approved, Lost Paws Rescue of Texas will be in contact with you to discuss further. 5. Now is a great time to foster a dog or cat so that we can assist shelters by taking more animals into our care. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a foster.
