Shelter2Rescue Coalition is an organization dedicated to saving dogs on death row in rural Texas shelters. We work with a coalition of rescues, veterinarians, transporters, individual contributors, boarding facilities and internet rescuers to save lives by extending the reach of local shelters nationwide. Since July 2007, Shelter2Rescue has saved almost 1,200 dogs by working with local and nationwide verified rescue coalition members.
By some estimates, there are over 5 million highly adoptable dogs euthanized for shelter space in this country every year. It is a holocaust for man's best friend, and we at Shelter2Rescue Coalition are doing everything we can to help local Texas rural shelters, who rarely have rescue help, to lower their euthanasia rates.
Shelter2Rescue Coalition, Inc. is 501(c)3 charitable organization.
Adoptathon Weekend is coming!
We will be hosting another large tent event at the Grand Prairie Petsmart located at the corner of Great Southwest Parkway and Interstate 20 on April 30/May 1. It's an awesome opportunity for us to save more lives in a weekend than we do over several months.
Last year, we adopted over 40 dogs and cats and this year we hope to exceed that goal.
If you would like to help out walking dogs or help with general setup and tear down each day, PLEASE contact us at adoptions@shelter2rescue.org.
By adopting from Shelter2Rescue Coalition, you are saving a life. If you are looking for a new addition to your family, please consider a shelter animal.
All of our immediately adoptable animals are in private foster homes, so feel free to fill out an application and set up an appointment to meet the animal of your choice.
You can also visit us on weekends at various local Petsmart locations. Click here to see our adoption day schedule, or email us if you have any questions.
We never SELL animals. All of the animals you see that are available through Shelter2Rescue Coalition have been rescued from death row at a Texas shelter. We do ask for an adoption donation, which goes to help spay/neuter and get healthy the dogs and puppies that we rescue.

Thousands of puppies and adult dogs are euthanized every day. If they only had a place to stay for a little while, many of them could be saved.
Shelter2Rescue Coalition is a completely foster-based organization. We do not have a building or shelter, so we rely on the kindness of other animal lovers out there to open up their home to make room for a shelter animal that is in danger of being euthanized.
You can foster as many or as few animals as you wish, and we will help match you with the appropriate animal for your home.

It costs us approximately $75 to vet, board and then transport a single puppy to the safety of our northern coalition members. Remember, all contributions are tax deductible.
In this program, Shelter2Rescue supports local kill shelters in facilitating communication for and transport of adoptable dogs to the nationwide rescue community. The goal is to extend the reach beyond the overburdened local community and place adoptable animals in rescues across the United States, thereby increasing their chances of adoption, while alleviating overcrowding in the local rescue community. At the same time, this program will dramatically lower the euthanasia rate at the participating community shelter. By implementing this program, along with the programs already in place at shelters (adoptions, etc), our goal is to assist shelters in cutting the euthanasia rate by 50% initially, and eventually to 90%.
