About Me


Austin Dog Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization.
Austin Dog Rescue celebrated its one year anniversary in June 2007. Although the organization itself is rather new, the team members who make up this non-profit rescue group are all experienced foster families with a combined 30 years of experience.As an all volunteer rescue group with big dreams, ADR is looking for a team of equally committed individuals to help make these dreams a reality.
Please check out our website at:www.austindog.org
Also, check out these videos of two dogs currently available for adoption!
Paws in Prison
Austin Dog Rescue is also proud to be participating in the Paws in Prison (Cell Dog) Program at a Women’s facility in Lockhart, Texas. This 8-week course pairs inmates (non-violent offenders, selected through a detailed application process) with dogs who possess a good overall temperament but may need a little extra help in certain areas. Through the program all participants, human and canine alike, learn valuable lessons about trust and teamwork. At the end of each course, each Paws in Prison graduate dog is available for adoption through the Austin Dog Rescue.
To learn more about the program, please see our website , and check out the video below!
One last thing, just as a note to our friends- please don't take it personally if your comment gets deleted. A lot of comments (particularly the kind that contain images with an embedded link) a part of various Myspace viruses- so a lot of the time I'll delete them just to be on the safe side.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who like dogs and want to meet other dog lovers. We have many community events (and more on the way) for people and their dogs to get a chance to meet up. VACCINATED AND WELL-MANNERED dogs are ALWAYS welcomed to attend any of our social events.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Also, as a non-profit organization we're always looking for a few good volunteers. If you're interested in donating some of your time to help out with one of our events, please visit our website for more information about how you can participate!
