Love And Puppy Paws Dog Rescue

Dog rescue in Austin, TX

Love And Puppy Paws Dog Rescue (LAPP Dog Rescue) was formed to help alleviate the stress of city and county animal control facilities around South and Central Texas by accepting dogs into our rescue that would have otherwise been taken to overpopulated animal control facilities and would be at risk of euthanasia due to space restraints, behavioral issues, and/or medical issues. Any dogs taken into LAPP Dog Rescue's care will be placed into foster homes, receive veterinarian care, receive training for behavioral issues if needed, and gain socialization skills before they are adopted into their forever homes.

Our mission is to promote and provide the resources, education, and programs needed to decrease the number of abandoned, neglected, and stray dogs in South and Central Texas in an effort to assist in reaching the goal of making more Texas animal control facilities no kill.
