Hope for Paws

Dog rescue in Lavon, TX

Hope for Paws was founded on the belief that there are no bad dog breeds only people that exploit the natural characteristics of a breed for selfish and often cruel purposes. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs from harmful and neglectful situations regardless of breed and to educate the community regarding specific breeds. We hope to decrease the number of homeless dogs in our community through education about the benefits of spaying and neutering pets.
What We Do
We pull animals from various local shelters when they have not been claimed by owners or adopted from the shelter. We also take in stray dogs from the streets or from owners that can no longer care for their pet.

We house these dogs in a kennel situation and look for volunteers to foster these dogs. We provide training for the dogs to help them more easily make the transition into a loving home.

We visit local schools to educate children about the plight of homeless dogs and invite them out to the kennel to help dispel any breed specific prejudice. We teach about the need for keeping their dogs vaccinated and keeping them on preventative programs for heartworm and flee and tic preventative.
