About Drowzy Dawg Rescue
Drowzy Dawg Rescue is a small 501(c)3, all-volunteer rescue dedicated to offering shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation to unwanted and neglected companion animals in the state of Texas. We save lives — one paw at a time.
Our Story
What started as a heartfelt response to overcrowded rural Texas shelters has grown into a thriving network of foster families, volunteers, and supporters spread across the Hill Country and surrounding area. Since our founding, we have saved over 1,500 dogs, cats, and other companion animals from euthanasia — and we're just getting started.
We pull from shelters to save animals at greatest risk, take in strays when space allows, and do everything possible to rehabilitate and re-home as many furry friends as possible. We also network with other rescues to maximize adoptions and house a small population of geriatric, unadoptable animals who deserve a safe and loving place to live out their days.
Who Runs the Rescue
Drowzy Dawg Rescue is run entirely by volunteers — there are no paid staff. Every dollar donated goes directly toward the animals. Our dedicated foster families open their homes to animals in need, providing the love and stability that makes all the difference. From transport volunteers to fundraisers, photographers to medical helpers, every person who gives their time is the reason this rescue works.
What Makes Us Special
Foster-Based Care
All of our animals live in real homes with foster families — not kennels. This means they're socialized, loved, and ready to thrive in their forever home.
Community Rooted
We focus on the Hill Country and surrounding Texas communities, building lasting relationships with local shelters, vets, and supporters.
Whole-Animal Welfare
We assist owners facing hardship with food, healthcare, spay/neuter, and vaccinations — because keeping families together matters too.
100% Volunteer Run
Every volunteer, every foster, every donor makes this possible. We are grateful for each and every one of you.
A Note of Gratitude
We are so grateful to the Dorothy Gaines Foundation and Bart and Suzanne Willis Cook for their generous support. From volunteers to donors — thank you each and every one. Without you, Drowzy Dawg Rescue would not be saving lives.
Get Involved
Whether you want to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate — there's a place for you in the Drowzy Dawg family.
