Lost Paws Rescue of Texas

http://www.lostpawsrescueoftexas.org/ "Helping animals find FOREVER homes, four paws at a time..." We are a foster-based rescue group. Thank you!

Our organization consists of a group of volunteers dedicated to animal welfare and education. All of our dogs and cats stay in loving foster homes until they are adopted.

• Lost Paws Rescue of Texas is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
• We are all volunteer – 100% of donations go to dog and cat rescue.
• As a no-kill rescue group, we operate solely on donations.
• If you would like to help by mak

ing a donation, please go to https://lostpawsrescueoftexas.org/lost-paws-rescue-of-texas-donate-and-help.
• For 10+ years, Lost Paws Rescue of Texas has served the needs of the Dallas Fort Worth community. We hold weekly adoption events thanks to our great partnership with Dallas Fort Worth PetSmart locations: PetSmart Southlake and PetSmart Frisco in 2021. Our pets available for adoption consist of dogs and cats extracted from shelters, from breeder releases and owner surrenders. These elements make up about 42-60% of our adoption rates.

- Disaster Shelter Assistance
Our Disaster Shelter Assistance program allows us to work with animal shelters in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. We pull animals from their shelters before and during a time of natural disaster. This allows the disaster area animal shelters to have space to care for owned pets who have been temporarily displaced due to flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes or fires. This program accounts for about 3-4% of our adoption program. The majority of the cost involved is around paying for transport of the animals.

- Animal Shelter Rescue Assistance
Lost Paws Rescue of Texas responds to urgent requests to care for dogs trapped in abusive situations. We cooperate with other dog rescue operations in Texas when we are asked for assistance. Lost Paws Rescue of Texas Gives Medical Treatment to Rescued Dogs:
· Full Exams · Vaccinations · Neutering· Heartworm Testing and Treatment · Dentals Where Needed · Additional Treatments as Required.

- Sweet Seniors
We target to have 20-25% of our adoptees be at least 8 yrs old. This population struggles in shelters. They are often traumatized by the loud noises and chaos of the younger energy animals in kennels with them; or next to them. As a result, they do not come across with their best personality when potential adopters walk by and attempt to interact. We know that these sweet older souls make incredible loving and dedicated companions. And we have found there is a steady demand for older animals at our events. Although with the age comes more risk of health issues. The sweet senior animals tend to cost us a little more to bring up to healthy status so they can be adopted. But it’s well worth it.

- Moms and Pups
This is our newest program. We are expanding our ability to bring in pregnant female dogs with new pups who were taken to shelters. Lost Paws Rescue of Texas has built a new isolation center on our foster farm for whelping and weaning moms and pups. Our target is to grow our adoption rate by 40% by end of 2019. We know we can give this under-served population a fighting chance to have a great life. The costs of this program will raise our annual budget significantly. These females almost always face euthanasia if there is no one to foster them through the puppy birth and weaning stage. This is because shelters are not a conducive environment for puppy care. Local animal shelters – despite their best efforts – have obstacles due to diseases that come in daily from strays and surrenders who were not vaccinated; and have not received care. The stress to the mother – and the tiny immune systems of puppies – cannot fight back against disease in a typical animal shelter environment. They either they succumb to disease; or are euthanized.

- Adorably Imperfect
Have you seen the cats and dogs with a limp, or with one eye? Or maybe they are blind or deaf – or possibly they have a limb deformity? Maybe they have lost all their hair or have no teeth. We call those animals Adorably Imperfect. And we think they are meant for adoption. This class of animals is often overlooked by other rescues because bringing them to a healthy state is expensive. Also, it does take a while to find a right adopter fit. But overwhelmingly, we receive feedback that these animals are some of the best pets their owners have ever had. As long as funds continue to come in – we will seek these animals out at a shelter and find them a home. Adorably Imperfect dogs and cats make up about 4-5% of our adoptions.

• Please Help Us to Continue! For us to continue our level of care, your help is needed. If you would like to help by making a donation, please go to https://lostpawsrescueoftexas.org/lost-paws-rescue-of-texas-donate-and-help.
• We are all volunteer – 100% of donations go to dog and cat rescue.

• Our volunteers and staff will give advice on how to care for your new friend with recommendations on food, supplies, toys and other items.
• All of our animals are up-to-date on vaccinations and necessary medical care when they are placed for adoption.

Say hello to Tayla.

This sweet baby has a gentle disposition and has picked up walking on a leash very easily. This is her at the adoption event on Saturday at Petsmart. She’s approximately eight (8) months old and weighs 25-30 pounds. We believe she shouldn’t get too much bigger than her current size.

Tayla is so sweet and needs help finding a home. We know there has to be someone who is looking for her to join their family. She’s been around other dogs and does well with everyone.

Can you please share this in hopes that her new family will see her and send us a request for information? Everyone here at Lost Paws Rescue of Texas just loves her and we want her to find a great home.

Please email us at [email protected] for more information on Tayla.

Hey friends!
We are in desperate need of someone to work on a washing machine. We do ALOT of laundry every day and our Whirlpool washing machine has decided it doesn’t want to work any longer. Is there anyone in the Frisco/Celina area that would be able to come and help us out?
We absolutely can’t be without a washing machine and are in a desperate situation right now.

We do not have the funds to buy a washing machine at this time. We have taken in 9 heartworm positive dogs in the past two weeks. The cost to treat heartworms is expensive and is really cutting into our funds.

Please message [email protected] or message us here if you know of anyone who could help us out.

Thank you!

Happy adoption day!

Are you making plans to travel this summer and not sure where to leave your fur baby? We are able to board your dogs and take care of them while you are away on vacation or work trip. All dogs must be friendly towards people and other dogs. Please email us at [email protected] for more information.

We accept donations for this service to help offset our medical bills. **Heartworm positive dogs are very expensive to treat and we just took in several in the past few weeks.**

Thank you to everyone who helped us out with cleaning supplies. Look what was on our president’s doorstep!! THANK YOU!!!!

We know several people had wanted to send us some bleach (because we ALWAYS need bleach) and had some issues on the Amazon Wish List. We have changed the size of the bottle requested and are hoping that allows you to help us with bleach if you are still inclined to do so. (It seems to work at this time.)

If you happen to be out running errands and would like to drop some bleach off at an adoption event, we will be at the Petsmart in Southlake and Frisco (Preston Ave) on Saturday morning from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm. We would be so appreciative.

Good morning friends,

We would like to ask for some help with cleaning items. We are extremely low on trash bags,
paper towels, laundry detergent and bleach.

Bleach is always needed. It is used EVERY day.
It’s an important tool we use to help keep the areas cleaned and disinfected for the safety of all animals.

If you’re able to help us this week, we could really use help with items on our wish list. Please select Yvette Garza as the recipient.

Thank you!🩷🐶❤️
