At-Risk Shelter Dogs in Texas

Texas is the largest state in the U.S. by area and the second most populous with 29 million people. Sadly, Texas ranks highest in the nation with number of dogs killed in shelters. Every year, hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats enter Texas shelters, many of them healthy, friendly, and fully adoptable. Across the state, overcrowded shelters struggle daily with limited space and resources. As a result, countless dogs are placed at risk simply because there are not enough adopters, fosters, or rescue placements in time.

At DogsInDanger, we believe these dogs deserve to be seen.

Approximately 100,000 dogs and cats are killed in Texas shelters each year.

Many dogs in Texas shelters would be adopted quickly in other parts of the country, but the overwhelming number of animals entering the shelter system means time often runs out before they are noticed.

By adopting from a Texas shelter, you are not only gaining a companion --you are quite literally saving a life.
