Chris was so nice when we adopted Rebel (renamed Winnie). Chris isn’t from the area, but drove down to match us with her. She’s brought two other dogs with her and I wanted to adopt all three but wasn’t able to.
Chris is willing to go above and beyond to match people with the dogs. I appreciate Cubby’s because Winnie is such a sweet (and spoiled) dog and I wouldn’t have adopted her had it not been for Cubby’s.
Chubby crusades is one of the best rescues. They insure all of their babies are placed in their perfect homes and are well taken care of. The do it with compassion, commitment and pure love.
They are definitely focused on what's best for the animal - love these people so much!

Worked with this group and they are extremely focused on the animals. The owner of this group personally worked to get this chi mix out of a shelter so we could get him back to a healthy state and always did the right thing for the dog. This dog is now flourishing and doing well!
If it wasn't for Cubby 's Crusade I don't know what my life would be like. Because of Cubby's Crusade I have the best little minpin in the whole wide world! My beautiful little love, my beautiful little best friend, my Roxy. And she loves and adores me and my husband just as much as we love and adore her. I'm grateful every single day, that Cubby's Crusade found the best little baby girl for us. Life is better with Roxy. Cubby's Crusade is the absolute best!
The work Kris has done with Cubby’s Crusade is beyond phenomenal. Cubby’s rescues some very high risk dogs from all across the country. I’ve seen Kris spend countless hours making sure that dogs who are slated to be euthanized are pulled and rehomed—even if they’re with her! Cubby’s is an amazing rescue and I hope they continue to grow and make a difference for even more of our world’s most beautiful and loving beings.

I adopted my wonderful cat through Cubby's Rescue. They are a fantastic organization and I can continue to follow them. They do amazing work for animals!
I have had the opportunity to watch this pet rescue grow from one of its first dog rescues out in California a few years back. Kris has rescued dogs that the owners would abandon at shelters because of medical issues such as cancer, heart worm, diabetic and needed insulin injections, old age … and gave them the medical attention they needed and found wonderful homes for them. Cubby’s Crusade makes sure that every dog that gets adopted are a great match with the potential applicants by performing home inspections and meet and greets. Cubby’s Crusade has also collaborated with airlines and car transports throughout the states so pets can find their forever home.
Cubbys Crusade are caring and loving and go above and beyond to get these sweet fur angels rescued and on to safe and loving furrrever homes!!!!
Cris is an angel!
I’ve followed this wonderful rescue since I moved to NC. in 2012. I’ve become good friends through those years w Kris Paige seeing her unwavering love for dogs! She’s saved countless discounted unwanted dogs! She never thinks of herself n everything she does is for the dogs in her rescue.
Cubby’s Crusade never disappoints. She truly loves dogs and takes excellent care of her rescues. She even has traveled to other states to help save. I highly recommend Cubby’s Crusade. 5 stars is not a high enough rating to give her.
I have worked with Cubby’s Crusade as donor, foster and adopter for several years. They are a great group, dedicated to the dogs they rescue, including seniors that are so often left behind.

My wife and I have fostered for Cubby’s Crusade and have donated often to help. Some rescues can be shady, this one is top notch. We ended up adopting 2 of our fosters, including one that came to us with a massive cancerous tumor but Austin would not give up on him. He has been cancer free for almost 2 yrs.
Rescue is tough work. Tough. In many ways, watching animals living in horrible conditions and not able to save them all. It’s emotional and rewarding. It’s extremely exhausting, expensive and time consuming. It’s what we love and live to do!!
I know Kris and she works hard to help these fur babies, she’s absolutely amazing at what she does.
Cubby’s has assisted in the rescue of so many dogs in need. It is a wonderful rescue that works hard in finding the best homes for the rescued dogs. Cubby’s has organized travel through many volunteers for dogs in need of rescue. My family adopted a rescue from Cubby’s a year ago. The rescue was a schnauzer/terrier and Cubby’s facilitated the adoption without problems! I have had the best experience with this rescue and recommend highly!

Cubby’s helped me with helping me my chi/pin. The organization always helps with questions. This rescue is so responsive to network, assist finding transportation, going to pick up and taking care of all animals cubby’s rescue. One of the best rescues I have ever worked with. They care so much about their mission.
Kris, is an amazing person to deal with. She is kind and attentive to each animals needs. I don’t know many people that loves what they do like she does. She gives from the heart. I would highly recommend Cubby’s Crusade.
Kris has been nothing short of amazing.
We adopted Rebel (since named Winnie) from her. I wanted another dog, but they were spoken for. Once she sent me a pic of Winnie, I knew she was it. I fell in love with her instantly.
She had a full day with the dogs and still drove them down to Richmond. We have a chihuahua so there were 4 dogs running around my house. Astro ate whatever he could find and ran around the backyard like he owned the place. Winnie had just had surgery so she was still on drugs. Still, she was beautiful.
Kris was patient with us. Even though she had a long drive back, she stayed to make sure we were the right parents for Winnie and stayed to make sure Winnie was comfortable with us.
From all the pictures Kris posts of the dogs she has in her care, I know she does this as a passion project. She truly cares about the dogs she rescues.
My only wish is that I had more money to give to Cubby’s because humans who care this much for dogs are rare.
We love Winnie. She is incredibly bonded to me and I can’t imagine my life without her now. And we have Kris and Cubby’s to thank for bringing her into my life.
Best rescue ever! They care so much, and they make sure every adoption is right for everyone. Thanks so much for the work you do!
Cubby's goes out of their way to help those the most in need. They are also very responsive when you have a question!
I've worked with Kris for several years and we've rescue dogs together as a team. There nothing she won't do to save a dog that's in jeopardy at a kill shelter, even if that means driving across the country to save them. She's definitely one of the good ones out there ... and the list of her accomplishments as a respected rescuer is too long to mention them all. Keep up the great work Cubby's Crusade. Much love from Saving Imperial Rescue ☮️
Amazing rescue. Kind ,compassionate and a love for the animals beyond words. The owner of this rescue. Has given her life up. To save the unwanted, abused, and the dumped animals. Thank you for caring.
Cubby’s Crusade is run with such a passion and a huge heart for all the dogs! The rescuers are absolutely dedicated to providing the safest homes for the dogs but they go above and beyond for the adopters, too. The world is a better place because of Kris and her crew!
I have seen the wonderful stories of dogs this rescue has taken in! They do a great job and I love to follow along as they post the stories and pictures of dogs they enter their rescue
I love Cubby’s Crusade!! I’ve helped Kris pull dogs from shelters. The dogs we have pulled are not always in the best shape and sometimes it has to be on the fly so we are unable to wait to get them spayed or neutered right away. No matter what, Cubby’s does whatever it takes to get these pups taken care of whether they have the donations or whether it has to come out of Kris’s own pocket. Three of the most recent rescues I’ve been involved with are Licorice, Sammy and Queso. Queso is extremely underweight and Is getting the much needed nutrition to help him gain so he can get neutered. Licorice was spayed right away and has found her furever home and Sammy just got neutered and is waiting for his furever home.
Cubby’s inspired me to rescue and I have 3. This organization does so much out reach and helps so many dogs and others find their forever homes. Cubby’s organized a fund raiser to help, Marty, a dog with cancer. Marty is 4 years post treatment. Cubby’s will help in anyway to rescue. Great organization!
I've been aware of & working with Cubbys Crusade Rescue for almost 3 years now & they are one of the MOST loving & conscientious rescues in the country!!!
I highly recommend this rescue!
Cubbys Crusade helped me with vet bills while my cat Punkin was going through a struggle with health issues. They supported me financially to help with Punkins vet bills and Kari Busse and Kris Paige gave me moral support. The vet bills were paid directly to the vet. I was able to have a few more months with Punkin and I could not have gotten that without the help of Cubbys Crusade and all of their supporters and sponsors. When you are in a crisis situation with your pet and you have to choose whether to euthanize your baby or look for help because you can't afford it than you know the feeling. This is part of Cubbys Crusade along with rescuing many doggies and kitty's from being euthanized or from inhumane situations.
I will never, ever be able to thank Cubbys Crusade, Kris, Kari, the supporters and sponsors for everything they did for Punkin and I. My heart goes out to all the kind hearted people who help in horrible situations.
I discovered Cubby:s Crusade through Facebook and it has become one of my favorite dog rescues. Kris Paige is passionate about helping animals in need. Her love for these animals is so apparent and she would do anything to help them and give them the beautiful lives they deserve. I choose to donate to this rescue because of Kris' passion and love. I'm want my donations to go to rescues that I trust and Cubby's Crusade is one of my top 3 rescues!
Kris and her team save not only the healthy animals...they also save the medical and geriatric pets...pets that are going to have expensive medical bills to get them healthy. While other rescues walk away from these animals because of the hard work and expense, Cubby's Crusade steps up to the plate to fix these precious souls physically and emotionally to find them their happy forever after, rather than leave them to die alone, sick and suffering, on a cold shelter floor. I am proud to support the work of this amazing rescue...so many lives have been saved and mended because of Kris and her team's unconditional love for animals. Thank you Cubby's Crusade for the wonderful work that you do!
Cubby’s Crusade is truly the best. Our experience with this rescue agency is out of the world. Kris and Kari not only go out of their way for the furbabies but for the humans as well.
We adopted Jasper who was abused and not loved his first year of life. Because of Cubbys Crusade he now lives the life most doggies would dream of. He loves playing with his doggie sister Lilly and watching cartoons with his human brother Logan. God bless Cubbys Crusade and God bless Kris and Kari for bringing Jasper into our lives!!!!
Austin is the best!!! She truly lives for rescuing animals! I’ve done few rescue transports with her. She is always responsible and I really love working with her!
I have followed Cubby’s Crusade since day one. That little dog Cubby was in a kill shelter in Ca and got pulled just in time! This is an awesome group of very kind and dedicated people. Chris adopted Cubby started the rescue n heads it. The rescue has saved the lives of so many dogs! These people will literally drop everything and step in! So
proud of the work they do!

Cubby’s Crusade Rescue has so much compassion and love for dogs! I’ve seen it with so many of their rescues. The rescue is a mix of friends that really mesh well and love what they do! They literally help save dogs all over the country! Ins such a fan of this rescue! Austin Phoenix Rydill is totally devoted to using her rescue to save lives of those that have no voice!
I’ve worked with Cubby’s Crusade as both an adopter and a foster and they are one of the best rescues I’ve ever worked with. Very attentive to their fosters, and they provide exceptional care for their animals. They take on some hard cases and with love and attention, help them find perfect homes. An excellent rescue run by wonderful people.
I support this nonprofit through their fund-raising efforts. I am always impressed by the professional communication and great customer service. I will always support the strong work of Cubby's Crusade and their mission, one soul at a time.
This rescue goes out of their way to place dogs and to rescue dogs. This rescue travels hundreds of miles each year rescuing and saving pets. Very honest. Compassionate and loving rescue.

Cubby’s is the best revue I have ever worked with. It is because of “the cubby” that I was led to my Manny. This rescue takes excellent care of the animals they commit . They check out foster and adoptive homes to make sure the rescue is a good fit. Austin Rydill runs this rescue with so much love and efficiency. Highly recommend!
Cubby’s is a wonderful rescue the people that run this non-profit are angels. They use all the funds they get for the dogs. This rescue is top on the best list
Cubby's Crusade is an awesome, honest, transparent rescue. I have donated to save different dogs several times, my donations have always went exactly where they were supposed to go. Cubby's not only saves young , healthy highly adoptable dogs, they rescue the hard cases...the seniors, the sick, the fear aggressive, and give them happy, healthy lives as well. I have seen first hand how they have nursed these dogs back to health and found them loving forever homes. The rescue world, and the unwanted, unloved dogs are much better off since Cubby's arrival! Please support this wonderful, life saving team!
Amazing rescue! They care deeply about every single dog they rescue. It’s pure heart and soul doing heroic work!
We were looking for a companion for our 2 year old Chihuahua Luna last year. We came across Cubby’s Crusade on Pet Finder and saw their recent rescue from California named Billy. The love and attention that we saw in Billy’s rescue really spoke to us. But more then that the pictures of Billy before during and after his rescue made us realize that Cubby’s Crusade gives 1110% to each animal and their rescue was born out of love for animals who need help. My communication with Cubby’s Crusade was full of prompt responses, professionalism but mainly the best interest of the animals was first and foremost. We fostered Billy for 2 weeks and adopted him in November 2019. Cubby’s Crusade brought him to us and did in home visits to make sure our family and Billy were a good fit. A year later “Mr Bill” has fit in perfectly and he and Luna are bonded. I can’t thank Cubby’s Crusade enough for all that they do daily for the animals and the potential adoptive families. They are an amazing rescue!
Great experience with this rescue who helped me navigate the shelter process rescuing a dumped senior chihuahua. They vetted him and transported too. Truly wonderful organization
I adopted a great lil boy from this group, they do the best work outta love I fostered my lil benji first and Phoenix was in constant contact with me and my roommate, benji was well managed and socialized so there was no issues with my other fur babies, the best rescue
Cubby’s Crusade, and most especially the founder, are incredible! They answered my Facebook plea for someone to save my sad little guy in a shelter in San Antonio (I’m in Dallas). It was over Thanksgiving and we were out of town, and she somehow made arrangements to have him picked up, transported to Dallas, dropped with a temp foster and then transported to us at home! Our sweet Dobby was in bad shape at the time he was rescued and Austin was always checking in on him to see how he was doing. This rescue will go above and beyond and they truly do it all for the love of the dogs (and cats)! I’m forever grateful for them and the word they do!! ❤️
I have adopted (Bruce) from Cubby's and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they make sure the pet you adopt is the perfect fit for you. They even offer foster to adopt programs so they ensure their dogs are in the best possible home before anything is final
Fostered a sweet old dog and adopted him. Cubby’s sent someone to meet with us, check out the house, and make sure we were a good match. Someone answered our questions quickly. We knew we had help if we needed it. We would use them again to foster or adopt.
So I am only giving five stars because 10 stars is not an option!!! Kris and Kari at Cubby‘s crusade are absolutely miracle workers! Our family was devastated by the loss of two of our pets earlier this year. Both of our pets passed away about a month and a half apart from each other. We worked with both Kris and Kari Who went above and beyond the call of duty to help us locate our fur baby who now has his forever home with our family. Not long after we adopted Jasper from Cubby‘s crusade he was at the vet clinic and got startled. He ran away and was gone for several days. He stayed right around the same area in which he ran away from me. However, He would not come back to us. Once again Kris and Kari went above and beyond the call of duty by assisting our family. They went above and beyond the call of duty with search efforts to reunite Jasper with us. It’s amazing how hard they worked to get him back for us And after several days of him being Gone he was reunited with our family. The joy that Jasper brings to our family is untouched and priceless! He has a little sister who he plays with from the time he wakes up in the morning to the time he goes to bed at night. Jasper had a hard first year of his life however, because of the love and Commitment put forth by Cubby’s crusade he was rescued and given a chance to join our family where he will never know hardships again. If you are considering fostering and or adopting a pet you really need to give the cubbies crusade a call. They truly are miracle workers and they know what they’re doing. Their level of expertise goes unmatched as well as their commitment to the animals. As much, their customer service cannot be touched and or measured. They truly are miracle worker‘s and they know what they’re doing. Our little boy is crazy about his little doggies and we owe great thanks to cubbies Crusade for bringing Jasper into our lives.
My experience with Cubby's Crusade, has been nothing less, than TOP NOTCH! The ladies who run this rescue put their heart and soul into everything rescue!!! From transports, vet appointments, medical issues, saving an animal from an abusive situation....their hearts shine!!!! The word "no" does not exist to this group! If an animal needs help, they are the group to contact!
Thank you Cubby's Crusade, for ALL you do!!!!
I have worked with many rescue agencies but Cubby’s Crusade goes above and beyond to help not only their dogs but also the humans helping them!
I have transported 3 dogs for Austin and she is excellent every time! I truly can give 100% trust for her with every dog!!
Cubbys Cruisade Inc is a pet rescue dedicated to advocacy and care of those dogs left behind and sometimes overlooked because they are seniors or hace health issues. They fight for those fur babies in need with all their heart and soul. They are a true inspiration.
Amazing rescue with a huge heart! They are always willing to travel to rescue any and all dogs in need.
Cubby's Crusade is a wonderful rescue who puts dogs first. They go out of there way to ensure they provide the best homes for the dogs they rescue. They are professional, hardworking, and patient!
They are a wonderful, thorough rescue. They are transparent with follow throughs of the dogs they rescue
Amazing rescue group & caring staff! Without this rescue group I wouldn’t have my best friend Niles. Still to this day they reach out and asking if I need anything and how Niles is doing. I recommend this rescue group to everyone. Save a life, adopt don’t shop!
What a fantastic group! They work so hard on so little to help the doggies! I encourage everyone to donate, network, and foster for this great rescue.
Cubby’s Crusade is the best of the best when it comes to rescue organizations. They bend over backwards and do absolutely everything they can to help unite rescues with fosters and to save these babies that cannot save themselves. Austin is amazing! She personally managed to save our little guy after I saw him online, find him a foster while we were out of town, transport him from San Antonio to Dallas, and managed to get him to me. They follow up on their rescues all the time and even send sweet packages for the babies. It is truly a labor of love for them and they work so hard! They have a special place in our hearts!
Chubbys Crusade Rescue is an awesome rescue. They all go above and beyond. All the animals get everything they need even when it's hard. They work well with other rescues for the greater good. They work tirelessly to help as many dogs as possible. They are a very heart felt team.
Cubbys Crusade saves so many with medical issues and in danger of not making it out of the shelter. They go above and beyond and many times use their own funds to get these babies the care they need.
This rescue goes above and beyond to help dogs in need. They have contacts in several states and network very well to coordinate on behalf of dogs at risk in shelters. They help with transporting dogs not even in their rescue. They are super helpful and are so devoted to helping dogs in need. They go all out for the precious babies in their care and even those not in their care. This rescue is made up of super dedicated animal advocates. I think they are wonderful!
We love Cubbys crusade rescue! We started as fostering Bobby and ended up adopting him. The love and care they have for these dogs is amazing! They will go to great lengths to make sure their rescues are more than taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone interested in adopting a fur baby.
I am familiar with several rescues and Cubby's Crusade I must say is my favorite. This rescue truly goes above and beyond to help the animals in need. We need so many more caring people like this and if we did shelters would not be as over crowded like they are. Anyone that can donate or foster for this rescue please step up and help out! Cubby's can always use your help and so can all the animals they save!
Cubby's Crusade is hands down, one of THE best non profit rescues, we have grown to love!! They run their rescue very professionally, and go above and beyond to save an animal in need! The board members have spent many hours...driving many miles, just to save a dog in another state, who was in potential danger, or had no way of being transported to Cubby's. These ladies hearts are made of gold, and their kindness and compassion not only overflows into the animals who cross their paths, but also many people along the way, they have managed to include in their circle of "friends".
We are extremely proud to partner with Cubby's Crusade!!!
