Who we are
Tip of Tex K-9 Rescue was organized to help the large
number of unwanted or abandoned homeless dogs in
South Texas, is primarily a K-9 rescue.  And is also a
member of The Very Best Pet Network, and one of few
No Kill Shelters or Rescues in South Texas.
.
Tip of Tex K-9 Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
association that receives no outside funding. It is
managed on a daily basis by one person and several
generous foster homes. Tax-deductible donations of
cash, food and wish list items are always needed and
greatly appreciated.
We take mixed breeds as well as pure breed dogs. At Tip of Tex K 9 Rescue our policy is to first evaluate the
health and condition of the new arrival.
All pets are given immediate medical attention and are evaluated by our local vets. All adult dogs get spayed or
neutered as soon as possible, In the event that a puppy is adopted out, the adopter must agree to a Spay/Neuter
contract.


Once their medical needs have been met, they begin the socialization process and are evaluated for any behavioral
problems.  Healthy dogs of good temperament are never euthanized at Tip of Tex K-9 Rescue. If an adoptive home is
not found, rescued dogs live out their lives as permanent residents of the facility.                 
                       
All of our pets have either been rescued from high kill shelters within South Texas or are brought in by caring
people that have been found abandoned. Tip of Tex K-9 Rescue is by no means a shelter, any animal that is brought
here is temporarily housed until a permanent home is found.   

Our adoptions are 100% totally guaranteed. If for any reason you are unhappy with the pet or if you can no longer
care for the pet please return that pet back to Tip of Tex K 9 Rescue. We will always attempt to match the right
pet with the right person or family. We want every pet to go to a FOREVER home with a wonderful caring family
who will be responsible pet owners. Please be aware that if you are not properly caring for your dog, we will
terminate any adoption contract, and retrieve the dog.
