✨Rescue. We assist individuals and rescue groups in Texas to save dogs. We rescue, train and place dogs into loving homes. We support Save A Heeler-Texas to Germany. Save A Heeler-Texas to Germany started in April 2023. In our first 4 months, we have saved 100 dogs on death row in Texas Shelters. More than most

big rescues save in a year! On our page, we post pictures of Australian Cattle Dogs, commonly known as Heelers (and sometimes other breeds), on death row in Texas Shelters. People in Europe, Canada, and parts of the U.S. (where Heelers are adored) see the pictures and pick a dog they’d like to have. Then we RUSH to the shelter to get the dog, sometimes only hours away from euthanasia. We treat any illnesses or injuries, spay/neuter and vaccinate. We keep the dog for 2-8 weeks to make sure the dog is healthy and behaves well, if not we train. Then we ship the dog to the new home. We have a team member in Germany, that has previously checked out the home, who receives the dog from the plane. We are a small, dynamic group with no fat! We have no administration expenses. Every dime goes toward picking up, housing, training, and shipping the dogs to their new homes! It costs $1,000 per dog to do this. Every $1,000 equals one dog that won’t be killed and will live a long, happy life, making room for another dog at a shelter. Over the next 4 months (September to December 2023), with your help, we can save 100 dogs by the end of the year. Thursday, September 21, 2023, is North Texas Giving Day, our area’s largest fundraising day of the year. Our goal is to raise $25,00 by then, to save and send 25 dogs on death row in Texas shelters to wonderful new homes in Europe. Please help us save these dogs by donating now!

💔 Maggie is fighting cancer… and she needs us.

Maggie is a senior white shepherd who lost her home and ended up in a Texas shelter — through no fault of her own.

She was rescued by our shelter partners Noah's Arks Rescue and found a foster home through Save Texas K9s.

Shortly after, we found a mass.
We acted fast… but the diagnosis was heartbreaking:
mammary gland cancer.

She’s already been through so much: biopsy, imaging, and surgery — all to give her a chance.
Her care has already exceeded $3,500+.

And yet…
she is still the gentlest soul.
She leans into you. She trusts. She still loves.

This cancer is aggressive. We don’t know how much time she has — but we do know this:

✨ She deserves comfort
✨ She deserves love
✨ She deserves to feel safe

We’re committed to giving her that… but we can’t do it alone.

🙏 Please consider donating or sharing Maggie’s story.
Every dollar goes directly to her care and comfort.

To Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=DT6VVGKU6YTT8

She’s not giving up.
And neither are we. 💛

✨ This is Mikey. And he has been waiting over a year. ✨

Not because he isn’t amazing…
Not because he isn’t loving…
But because the right person hasn’t seen him yet 💔

Mikey is a 3–4-year-old Blue Heeler mix with the softest heart — and yes, a little extra fluff that makes him perfectly squishy for cuddles. 🧸

He’s the kind of dog who looks up at you like you’re his whole world… because to him, you are.

✔ Loyal “Velcro dog” who bonds deeply
✔ Calm, affectionate, and gentle
✔ Loves adventures AND couch time
✔ Big fan of water and swimming 💦
✔ Crate-trained and well-mannered
✔ Excellent car companion 🚗
✔ Thrives in a peaceful home

❌ No cats
🐶 Dog friendly with proper introduction

He may be a little shy at first… but once he trusts you, you’ll have a best friend who never leaves your side ❤️

📍 In foster in Rhode Island

✨ NELLIE IS STILL WAITING FOR HER PERSON ✨

Nellie is 2.5 years old and has spent almost her entire life waiting in a shelter… and somehow, she’s still nothing but love. 💛

She’s finally out and in a loving foster….but she is still looking for her forever home.

Nellie is the kind of dog who makes you wonder how she hasn’t been scooped up yet:

🐾 Friendly, affectionate & delightfully wiggly
🎾 Loves playing fetch
🚗 Enjoys car rides
🐕 Dog-friendly & truly shines with a playful canine companion
🏡 Fully housebroken & crate trained
🦮 Walks nicely on leash
💞 A devoted “shadow dog” who just wants to be near her person

She’s gentle taking treats, respectful with food, and incredibly eager to please. Nellie thoughtfully adjusts her play style with other dogs and tries so hard to do everything right — especially meaningful when you realize she spent so much of her early life without guidance or stability.

📍 Currently located in Bellingham, WA
📩 Apply to come meet Nellie:

If you’ve been waiting for a loyal, loving best friend — Nellie is still waiting for you. 🐾

Nellie is a black lab mix available for adoption in Bellingham, WA.
