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. We are not an adoption agency and that's what sets us apart. Our sole desire is to help facilitate unwanted shelter pets or strays to find a rescue match to one of our many Rescue Partner outlets, who then will handle the final adoption processes.
Local Texas rescues can’t keep up with the high intake of unwanted animals. Passport for Paws alleviates the burden by fostering and transporting animals to rescues in the Midwest. In most cases, our animals are adopted prior to arriving onsite through our wonderful foster-based partner organizations.
Unlike other non-profit rescues that operate on adoption fees, Passport for Paws solely operates on donations as we have no other source of income. We rely on the support of the community and our business partners to save animals.
Our Mission Statement: "To provide rescue, protection, shelter, compassion, foster care, rehabilitation, veterinarian medical care and adoption to rescued animals in danger of being euthanized at area shelters/pounds, homeless and neglected animals, or owner surrendered animals."

Featured Foster of the Month
Our featured foster animal is Rambo. Him and his siblings were part of our "Spay It Forward" initiative. Some of the animals on this property were signed over to our organization, while others weren't. Unfortunately, months later, Rambo was hit by a car and the owner decided to surrender him since he could not afford the medical care and the prognosis seemed guarded. We have some experience with dogs unable to walk and wanted to give him a chance with a Veterinary Chiropractor. Fast forward several months, Rambo is starting to apply a tiny bit of weight to his hind legs now and uses his wheels as well to get around. He is in specialty boarding where he gets his care routinely and complete chiropractic care. Without the help of our community donating to p4p, we wouldn’t have been able to save Rambo and his siblings and get him the care he needs.
