Dog rescue in Temple, TX

The Association for a Pet Adoption Center (APAC) is a 501(c)3 not-for profit foster home based rescue seeking to alleviate over crowding in our local shelters and help match families with really great dogs.

We rescue to make a difference in our community, in the lives of homeless pets, and in the lives of families seeking a companion animal.

Rescue FAQs

Texas, we do allow out of state adoptions if the adopter comes to Texas to meet the dog. We do not allow unaltered puppies out of the state, nor do we provide transportation out of state. Puppies are altered after 5 months, in state puppy adoptions have a puppy contract to bring back for surgery

Additional adoption info

We look to match the dogs personality, energy, and size to the potential adoptive family lifestyle and dynamics. A family looking for a calm snuggle buddy is not a good match for a working dog that needs to be walked several miles a day to be content and successful in the home.
