Who we are
East Texas Animal Rescue was founded by Scott and Christina Russell.
Scott is a life long animal lover and Navy veteran. Christina has worked in the veterinarian field for over 20 years. They have 4 dogs (1 which was rescued in Mt Enterprise and 2 cats). When they moved out to East Texas in early 2022, it became very apparent that there were a lot of stray animals as well as malnourished, neglected and abused animals in East Texas. After rescuing 1 dog, they seemed to find a never ending line of animals in need of help. All the shelters in Rusk county are always full and the surrounding counties won’t take in animals outside of their county. They knew something needed to be done. So, they started East Texas Animal Rescue in hopes to save as many animals as possible.
