Heart of the Underdog

Dog rescue in Spring, TX

Heart of the Underdog is a 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue founded in 2020 for the sole purpose of rescuing and re homing animals in need. Our mission is to advocate for pets in need through fostering, adoption, education, spay/neuter and community outreach to help strengthen the human-animal bond.

There is a real crisis in Texas with too many unwanted dogs leading to overcrowded shelters ultimately ending in euthanasia for so many of these dogs.

All animals will be fully vetted, micro-chipped, spayed/neutered, and placed into foster homes until they are able to be adopted. Many of our pets transport to the Pacific Northwest to be adopted and placed in their fur-ever homes.
