How We Are Different
Passport for Paws is a 501(c)3 volunteer-based rescue committed to saving code-red animals from local Texas shelters.
Local Texas rescues can’t keep up with the animal demand. Passport for Paws alleviates the burden by fostering and transporting animals to rescues throughout the US. In most cases, our animals are adopted prior to arriving onsite.
Unlike other non-profit rescues that operate on adoption fees, Passport for Paws solely operates on donations. We rely on the support of the community and our business partners to save animals.

Featured Volunteer of the Month
August volunteer of the month is our one and only Kristen Liedtke! She has been with us for a year now and is always willing to say yes to a puppy in need when we ask. She also has helped us at transports with load-up and paperwork. Not only does she help p4p, but she works full-time and has a small business! She’s saved countless lives and we know all the animals she’s saved are grateful to feel the love she’s shared. Thanks, Kristen!
Featured Foster of the MonthOur August foster of the month is not one…not two…but three puppies! These three puppies were saved from Dallas shelter. They are 7 weeks old. One puppy, Darla, has swimmers legs. With the help of her fosters, She is getting water therapy each day and gaining strength in her back legs! She’ll be ok in no time! Thank you to Secondhand Hounds for saying yes to these 3 pups!

With being 7 weeks old and a fighter, we know she will make a full recovery in no time!

Fosters of the Year
Our 2021 Fosters of the Year are Bob Smith and Steve Dektor! Without the generosity and selflessness of these two men, we wouldn't be able to transport animals to our rescue partners in MN/WI! Steve also helps our shelter partner in AR by driving our transport van from TX to AR then back to TX to their fosters! And not only do they take time out of their busy schedule to drive our transport van, they also foster! Bob gravitates towards our puppies in need and Steve gravitates to our adults. Together they've saved over 20 dogs in 2021 alone! Thank you, Bob and Steve for your dedication to saving TX animals!
