Texas Cattle Dog Rescue

Texas Cattle Dog Rescue rescue consists of a few founding members and a number of fosters and volunteers across Texas. We are a small, but dedicated group that focuses on saving as many Australian Cattle Dogs (heelers) as possible as well as educating the public about the breed. Our mission is to rescue the shocking number of heelers euthanized in shelters. We rescue heelers from the city and county shelters and on the streets throughout Texas. We match each rescued dog with a forever home where he/she will be loved, cared for, and fully enjoyed and appreciated. Educating current and future owners is a key focus. We believe pets should be spayed and neutered to reduce pet over population and all dogs we place are fixed. Founded in 2009, we've rescued more than 300 dogs. We're an all volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization.
