Destination Rescue

Dog rescue in Houston, TX

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping dogs and puppies that need it most: those that are dumped, grow up on the streets, and endure neglect. We rescue these dogs from southern states and give them a new life in loving local families or to awaiting families in northern states.
