Lost Paws Rescue of Texas

We just recently adopted a new puppy named Disco from this organization and it was easy and seamless. We found two we were interested in on PetFinder.com and submitted an application to their organization. They said we were a good match for Disco. We set up a time at their event to meet Disco and we ended up leaving with him that day!

I have had my sweet boy for almost two years now. His adoption was easy and they provided all the information needed, I can never thank lost paws enough for bringing us together!

This organisation openly admits to fraudulently mis-classifying dangerous dog breeds for the sake of insurance fraud.

Included with this post is a picture of an exchange with the shelter.

Purposely mis-classifying breeds is not only fraud but is inherently dishonest to the people adopting. No matter what opinion you have regarding certain breeds, you have the right to know what animal you are adopting. If they are willing to lie so brazenly about what breed they are adopting out, who knows what else they are willing to lie about regarding their animals.

I adopted my fur baby several months ago: We love our "Daisy-Mae", formerly "Bonnie". This is such a great group of people! Everyone is super nice and so easy to work with. The Pet Smart "meet and greet" was very close to our home and it was so organized. We already had a chihuahua and she and Daisy-Mae play so well together. Daisy-Mae is my little "Velcro" baby! She Loves all the attention! If I ever decide to adopt another fur baby, I will definitely contact Lost Paws. It was a Pleasure.

Thank you,
Judy

waffles is the best! hes so cute, small, and so petite!

We adopted two fur babies from Lost Paws - one about a year and a half ago and then another last month. The process was so easy and you can tell they just love the dogs they are helping. The volunteers we worked with were knowledgeable and so nice! They gave lots of helpful hints and even checked in to make sure everything was going well. I would definitely recommend this organization to anyone looking to adopt a dog in the DFW area.

Adopting with Lost Paws Rescue of Texas was a great experience all around. Yvette and her team are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, efficient and responsive. I found Sake's profile on Petfinder and after leaving some basic information they quickly got in touch with me to inform me of next steps. It felt thorough and yet efficient with as little red tape as reasonably possible. (Some red tape and vetting is obviously necessary and in the best interest of all parties). A few days later we were able to meet, and take home, Sake at an adoption event at a nearby pet store. Once we are ready for dog number three, we will definitely use Lost Paws Rescue of Texas again.

I adopted Star from Lost Paws and she is the sweetest, silliest, most amazing addition to my family, and her fur siblings love her. She doesn't seem to know she was born without front legs because she hops and "runs" around as if she had all 4!
Lost Paws was fantastic to work with! Yvette clearly is passionate about helping cats and dogs in need of good homes, and she was responsive to my questions and easy to work with in meeting Star for the first time. She explained the adoption process thoroughly and has checked in with me since the adoption to make sure everything is working out and that Star had settled in (which she has, in the throne where she belongs!)
I would love to adopt another animal from Lost Paws, because it was clear from the beginning that Star came from somewhere that loved and nurtured her while she was in foster, and the adoption process went so smoothly, you can tell they have been doing this for a while. I definitely recommend this rescue!

We were hoping to adopt another dog to grow our family. We had a 3-year-old shorkie who needed a brother or sister. We wanted to adopt a rescue and searched different shelters and websites. Lost Paws Rescue of Texas was quick to respond to our inquiry regarding one of their doggies. They set up an appointment for us to meet her that weekend and we fell in love. Joy, who we renamed Pica (middle name Joy), has been a great addition to our family. Yvette at Lost Paws Rescue gave us really good information on how to introduce her to our very shy doggie. She has acclimated well to our family and she is truly a joy! We would definitely recommend Lost Paws Rescue of Texas to everyone - the adoption process was easy and they were extremely helpful!

I adopted my senior pet in early February and have really been enjoying her. Since she had had her name for years I did not change it, so Katie is my special girl. She joins my other rescue Pup. Lost Paws Rescue made this an easy adoption for me. I I'm so thankful for those people who are doing so much to help save special dogs, and all dogs are special!

We adopted Cream, now Peggy, in February and she’s come to fit right into our family. Lost Paws Rescue was wonderful to work with. We’re so happy we found them.

We adopted our sweet spunky Maverick (formerly Yankee) from Lost Paws this past August. We had lost our miniature dachshund two years prior (took us a while to be ready for a new fur baby)and the adoption process and applications seemed so overwhelming. Lost Paws was so sweet and helpful! They were quick and responsive to questions, and the whole process was so smooth it seemed meant to be! Since little Mav was a younger puppy we've had additional vet appointments to finish vaccines, neuter, etc. and Lost Paws makes this process so easy! It's been so simple to get these expenses (included in the adoption) covered. They have also emailed to check on Maverick and see how he's doing. You can tell they really care about the well being of your pet and how he is bonding with your family. Everyone I have spoken with from Lost Paws has been delightful and helpful. Maverick has been such a sweet and needed addition to our family!

We adopted our second puppy from lost paws and had a great experience!! They were very honest and the puppy we adopted (Ranger) was exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend to adopt through them!!

We intended to adopt a sister for our Tinker, as she lost her brother Dewey and was really lonely and missed him as much as we did. We went to PetSmart in Southlake and locked eyes with Bella (formerly Meadow) - it didn't take long to know she's our girl. We were so impressed they had her detailed vet papers, microchipped, been on great food, so well taken care of. Also gave us as much information as they knew about her while in foster care. Bella is beginning to realize she's in her forever home now.

In 2022, we lost our dog of 14 yrs to illness, and we thought we would not adopt again, or at least for a year. So since my husband of 27 yrs who is a Disabled Veteran, I decided to get him a emotional support dog, so we found our first pet with your company and her name is Loki, she is now officially a year old now and within the year, we adopted to more pups from your agency, since I wanted all of them to be able to grow up together, so adopted Myko, and then one later we found another puppy you had and I just had to have him to complete our family, and his name is Zeus, so along with our cat who is 18 yrs old, all get along and all hang out on the patio looking at the world go by, and we are training our three dogs to go on road trips with us. They have all been to Broken Bow, OK for weekend at a cabin with us.
thank you Lost Paws, we love all our kids and all will grown old with us.

They called her Blotch…I named her Patch. I needed a companion pup for my other rescue, Allie. They have bonded like sisters and watching them romp and play gives me great joy. Happy dogs = Happy home. Lost Paws of Texas made my search so easy and gave me confidence in taking one of their pups into my home and my life.

I adopted two dogs in August 2022-Sophia and Winston (previously Princeton). We went to adopt Sophia but found out that Winston actually came from the same home. We went home with two wonderful dogs that couldn't fit more perfect into our family. It was a simple process and they even paid for Winston's follow up visit with the vet. This is a great organization to adopt from.

I'd like to thank Lost Paws for rescuing my wonderful dog, Apollo (now called Scooter). The process was very easy - I applied for him online, then had the opportunity to meet him at a PetSmart adoption event, where I filled in the paperwork and took him home that day. I am familiar with many rescue organizations/shelters and I have found Lost Paws have always been the most responsive and helpful - they truly have an amazing team of volunteers. They even provided support and advice after the adoption. Scooter has gone from strength to strength since he came home, it's so rewarding to see him coming out of his shell. I cannot recommend Lost Paws enough.

Animals bring so much joy to humans! Especially one that has been rescued from horrible conditions or abuse. I posted below a 2 month update on our adopted canine and am grateful to Lost Paws for being diligent about placing animals in the perfect home! This sweet girl was meant to be a part of our family!!!

Lost Paws was at the PetSmart in Southlake, Tx. My husband and I were at this PetSmart to pick up diapers for our elderly dog, Mollee, who had been with us for almost 16 years. We knew we didn't have much time left with her. We very rarely go to this PetSmart because there is one closer to our home, but we went to this one that Saturday. When we walked in, we, of course, had no intention of taking a dog home. We saw a little doggie and lots of people were looking at her. So we went about our business and just before we were about to check out, the crowd had left her. When we saw her, my heart melted. She was a yorkie and she reminded us so much of Mollee...same color, same disposition, a name that started with an M, just like all members and pets in our family. It felt like she was meant to be with us. Lost Paws was just about to pick up and leave and if we'd have been 15 minutes later, we would have missed her completely. Donna was awesome. We told her about Mollee. She told us to go home and think about it, and if we wanted Muffin to fill out an application online. She said they would be back at that PetSmart the next week. So, we went home, but couldn't get Muffin off our mind nor how it just seemed like we were meant to get her. So, Wednesday night I filled out the application. They contacted me shortly after and told us to be at PetSmart that Saturday. We got there, held Muffin, and knew she was supposed to be a part of our family. We brought her home! It was on July 30, 2022. That evening our Mollee passed away. It was then I realized we needed Muffin as much as she needed us. She has been a blessing to our family and we are grateful to Lost Paws for bringing our Muffin to us.

We have adopted 2 rescue puppies from Lost Paws (one in 2020 and another in 2022). We appreciate that Lost Paws goes to shelters to find dogs in need, cares for them (feeds them quality food, gets them checked by a vet and vaccinated, tries to place them in foster while waiting to be adopted). Both of our dogs have adjusted really well to being at home with us and took quickly to puppy training schedule. We love having rescue pups, and these dogs have changed our lives for the better in so many ways. Thank you to Lost Paws for all you do for the animals in our state!

We found our lovely Penny at Lost Paws Rescue when we went to look at dogs at Petsmart. The kids were devastated when we lost our chihuahua of 12 years in May and we were hoping to eventually add a dog back to the family but when we saw Penny we knew she was the one. Yvette was super sweet and helpful. She knew a lot about all of the dogs at the rescue. The process was simple becuase we had already filled out the paperwork online prior to our visit. Penny is a sweet dog who was well taken care of. If we were to ever consider adopting again, it would be with Lost Paws.

Lost Paws helped our mom’s heart heal after losing her 17 year old Sweet Suzie! My husband saw Cookie online and knew she would be perfect to help Mom’s heart heal and was he right! After many questions to ensure Cookie was going to a good home, we surprised Mom with Cookie and tears of joy fell. Cookie took to Mom immediately and covered her in kisses. We cannot thank Lost Paws enough for taking such great care of Cookie while she recovered from having a leg amputated while in foster care and for their diligence in making sure their fur babies find the perfect home. Thank you!!!!

If you adopt or foster-to-adopt (for 50% of the non-refundable adoption fee) from this organization, be sure to ask for details about the dog. How long has the dog been in the organization's care, has it been returned, what the factual basis for their opinions are for their assessment of the animal, etc. We agreed to foster-to-adopt a dog from this organization after the rescue owner told us the dog was great with her grandkids and super adaptable. We returned the dog a week later because - while the dog was sweet, smart, and only barked to alert or when she felt threatened - she had material issues that were not disclosed or were outright misrepresented. For example, the dog barked and growled at our two young children repeatedly throughout the week (unprovoked - they didn't dare try to play with her or come near her food bowl). She had significant separation anxiety when we would leave the dog alone, even for 30 minutes. We could not crate the dog when we left home or at night because she shredded a dog bed in 45 minutes the one time we tried to put her in her crate. We took home a neglected dog who worked hard to come out of her shell, only to need to return her a week later (because we can't give up our kids). This instability further deepens the dog’s significant separation anxiety, and the organization couldn’t care less. After we returned the dog, it posted the EXACT same profile for the dog, claiming she’s great with kids and super adaptable (and 2 years old when her foster paperwork said she was at least 5). Such tactics set the dog up to fail and to ensure the organization continues to collect non-refundable adoption and foster fees, regardless of the impact on the animal. BEWARE!

I found Lost Paws Rescue online while looking for chihuahua puppies. I drove over an hour to get to their Southlake location. I was impressed to see the level of cleanliness, organization, and knowledge level of even the volunteers that we met. Although June Bug was not our first choice, after 30 seconds with her she was the one!

The level of communication and quick responses to questions are top notch, especially for a non-profit! They’ve continued to check on June Bug’s progress!

From start to finish, Lost Paws Rescue has demonstrated an impeccable level of service and concern for finding homes for lost animals!

Love this organization and all they are doing ❤️. We have adopted 2 of our 3 rescues from Lost Paws…the gift that keeps giving. Thanks Lost Paws!!!

Adopted the most adorable pup from this rescue. They were responsive to our inquiry. Dog was well cared for and vetting process was thorough. Reached out after adoption to see how everything was going. Really good experience.

We adopted Goose on 4/30/22 and he has been a perfect addition to our family. Lost Paws of Texas was wonderful to work with - they truly made our adoption process exceptional. I would highly recommend Lost Paws and also return to them for any future pet adoptions. Our family thanks you! Krissy A.

I adopted Willie in May 2022 after the loss of my previous rescue of almost 17 years. The adoption process was easy and enjoyable. Willie is the perfect little companion. In the short time I have had him he has gained a couple of pounds and his hair is growing out. He loves going for walks and has started obedience training. He is the best!
Thank you Lost Paws!!

I adopted Nyla in March from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. It was a very pleasant experience and they were very helpful with questions I had regarding my fur baby and getting her settled at home. She was potty trained and so well behaved. She is such a Blessing to me.

We adopted Avery thru Lost Paws about 5 weeks ago. The process was smooth and the folks were there to work with us and answer questions.
She came to us house trained, crate trained and we couldn’t ask for a better four legged friend!

We adopted Honey (formerly Sushi) from Lost Paws last month. They were very helpful during the entire adoption process. We are so in love with our new little girl and would definitely adopt from Lost Paws again.

Lost Paws was so great and easy to adopt from. We were so excited for our new family member Thor, formerly know as Amigo, to come home with us when we picked him up. He adjusted so quick to our home and our two cats. He is in beginner training and excelling. We would recommend Lost Paws to anyone looking to adopt a new family member.

We have adopted from several rescue organizations in the past. The process with Lost Paws was the easiest and quickest we’ve experienced. We just adore Pearl. She makes us smile and laugh every day. Here she is with her sister Coco (Pearl is on the left).

I found my perfect companion with Lost Paws. The sweetest little two yr old Bassett hound terrier mix. He was housebroken and doggie door trained making the transition very easy. Lost Paws was so great to work with. They’d taken very good care of him. I was a great experience.

Molly is a 7 year old Shihzu we rescued recently. She's totally loved and spoiled. She loves car rides and her daily walks. Blessed V Carr

We adopted our dog from Lost Paws last summer. We cannot say enough positive things about Yvonne and her crew. They work tirelessly to save homeless and unwanted animals. Without fail, every Saturday, this crew is at a pet store with their current group of furry pals who need a home. The amount of driving, physical labor, paperwork, phone calls etc that this group puts into saving animals is admirable, to say the least. The adoption was professional and Lost Paws answered every phone call and message promptly. We couldn’t be happier with our new dog. 100% recommend.

About a month ago we decided our pup (adopted from Lost Paws) needed a friend. We went to their Saturday adoption site and talked to them. They were wonderful helping us find a fit for Millie… one week later the sweetest bundle of fur burst into our lives!

If you are looking to adopt, Lost Paws is great! They work with you to find a perfect fit. Both came in healthy and happy and we can’t believe how blessed we are! Millie and Emmy Lou sisters and best friends for life!

I am ecstatic to have this little guy in my home..I adopted Jaxx, formerly Gordo, about a month ago. The process was easy and the staff has been extremely helpful and responsive. There is a sincere love for the animals they rescue. If I were to adopt again, I'd go back to this rescue before anywhere else.

We adopted Otis (now Leo) in February 2022 and he is a perfect fit for our family that had another dog and a toddler! I am so happy to have him. The rescue was friendly and responsive and made the adoption easy for us. The whole process was great and I would love to adopt from them again in the future!

We adopted Scooby (formerly Hunk) at Lost Paws Rescue of Texas a month ago. Perfect fit for our family! The process was very easy, everything was ready and they have been in contact with us to make sure everything is ok with him. Thank you! We just love him!

I adopted Teneisha and she is the sweetest dog ever. Although her early life was challenging, thanks to the socialization, training, care and love provided by Lost Paws she came to me as a sweet affectionate adult dog who is eager to please. She is so much fun and gets along well with our older dog. She lives to play ball, chase squirrels and have her head scratched. Plus she is a beauty. So lucky to have her in our family.

We adopted Rogue (formerly Puma) the week before Christmas, but were headed out of town, so they kept our sweet girl for us AND one of their amazing ladies met us on Christmas Eve to pick her up!! We can tell her care prior to coming to us was great, the ladies made the process incredibly easy, I would absolutely recommend using this rescue to add a fur baby to your family!

Lost Paws was a breeze to work with and so helpful. We were unsure about bringing a new dog into family, but they did a great job helping us understand what would be a good fit for our family. They even let us foster the dog for a 2 week trial to ensure it was a good fit. The adoption process was quick and easy, and we couldn't be more happy. Thank you Lost Paws!!

We adopted our baby before Christmas. The rescue team were very helpful and we left there with all the information we needed and assisted us with any questions we had with patience and care. The whole process was quick and easy!

I think Gideon rescued me more than I rescued him. A lovable, playful, and spunky Chihuahua mix came into my life because of Lost Paws. They love their dogs and are so friendly! They take care of their pets’ health and happiness!

We adopted Leo a month ago. The adoption was simple, we chose to take him for a week to see if he got along with our other pup. We adopted him a week later. Great agency to work with, they gave me his current medical records.

We adopted our precious Cookie from Lost Paws just before Christmas. Our dream was a little dog who was sweet and cuddly and funny and a good traveler. Cookie is all of this and more!

Lost Paws made it very easy for us to meet her. We were unable to go to their adoption event, so they met me the day before so I could meet her. The volunteers were very kind and seem to work very hard to save lives.

Hi
I lost my dog of 10 years to a severe allergic reaction while out on a walk, October 1, 2021. I was completely devastated I rescued her at 8 weeks.
Fast forward, I missed companionship in my life & started my search for a new dog
Lost Paws and Yvette came into my life at the perfect time. I thought I wanted an older dog yet here came Laurie now Addy on October 23, 2021, 4 months of bouncy loving fun and I wouldn’t change a thing she makes me laugh everyday and has brought me so much joy & love
Thank you Yvette and your wonderful staff for rescuing so many awesome dogs so we can adopt them, you are caring, kind & loving which the world needs more of at times
Have a great day!!!

My sweet daughter went to Pets Mart in Carrollton to purchase dog food for her pups in January 2018. They were hosting Lost Paws of Texas adoption day. She found a small long haired dachshund, called me to say her dad and I needed a dog! We’d owned dogs our entire life but really weren’t sure about a dog right then. . She had fallen in love with this little dog and begged us to just come and look at him! Well… we did take a look …, and you can guess the rest!! Doolittle has been the sweetest little companion two “old” retired people could have ever loved! Doolittle surely did “rescue” us! How thankful we are to Lost Paws of Texas, as well as our dear daughter who knew just what we really did need!!!! They are a fantastic rescue organization!!!

Adopted our sweet girl Raya (formerly Cleo) from here. Very positive experience.

We have had two adoptions from this organization and they are absolutely wonderful.

I adopted Beau, who is a Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, from Lost Paws in October 2021. I saw Beau on Petfinder, filled out an adoption application, and was contacted by Lost Paws the next morning, notifying me that I was a good fit for Beau. He is the sweetest, most loving, and funniest dog I've ever owned - I just adore him! Lost Paws went above and beyond to help me adopt Beau, which I really appreciate. Had Yvette not emailed me Saturday morning, notifying me that Beau was mine if I stopped by to meet him at the Petsmart in Frisco, I'm sure Beau would have been adopted quickly on site. Their adoption process was quick, unlike many rescue groups, who make you jump through unnecessary hoops to adopt. Thank you, Lost Paws, my daughter and I are forever grateful for our sweet boy!

We adopted our sweet Buddy from Lost Paws. They made the process so easy, and obviously care deeply for their pups. Our family is so thankful for the opportunity to adopt our sweet boy!

We adopted Ashton now Casper and what a blessing he has been! Lost Paws is one of the best rescues in the DFW area. The process is easy and quick. Lost paws showed our Casper the love that all animals deserve. I would recommend Lost Paws over and over again because they care. They care about the animals they are adopting out and it shows! We are so thankful for Lost Paws and Casper!!

I adopted my sweet boy from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas 6 weeks ago. The adoption process was simple and easy. Very good communication options. I definitely recommend Loss Paws to anyone who is looking to rescue a dog.

Lost Paws Rescue of Texas is a great non-profit filled with caring, hardworking people who make an incredibly positive impact in the community. We adopted Checkers, whom we’ve renamed Trevor, and couldn’t be happier! He is such a gift to add to our family as our new son. We have experienced first hand the compassion and care the staff (maybe they are all volunteers) treats their animals and adopters with. The non-profit works hard to make the adoption experience as least stressful as possible for their resident animals and adopters. Their adoption fees pale in comparison to the veterinary care they provide for each and every animal. I will recommend this place to everyone!"

We fell in love with a picture of “Cricket” now Luna. She is a perfect fit for our family. A spunky playful ball of energy. She is a cuddle bug for sure. Our Lily dog is so happy to have a new sister to share her day with.
Lost Paws was amazing. The process was so simple and they were so wonderful.

We recently adopted Farley (Garbo) from Lost Paws, and have only good things to say about the entire adoption process! Farley is such a sweet dog, but I wondered how she would act with my granddaughter. They told me that they test each dog to see how they react with children, and as you can see, the two are best buddies! Thank you Yvette, Donna and Angelia for bringing this little sweetheart into our lives! I would highly recommend this organization and would also adopt from them again in the future if we decide we need dog number two!

We adopted our sweet girl Hazel recently from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. The entire process was very easy. They were super to communicate with and bringing Hazel to Petsmart for us to meet was above and beyond, Yvette was wonderful and what a saint to foster these dogs and cats! They all do so much to save a precious life and bring joy to those who receive them! ������������������������

We had a great experience adopting from Lost Paws of Texas. When we had a health concern with our sweet boy right after he was adopted, Lost Paws arranged for him to have a specialty vet visit right away and even dropped him back at our home afterwards! He turned out to be fine, it was only the stress of adjusting to a new environment. We love our new furry kiddo and appreciate the support of having an excellent rescue organization in the transition to his new home with us. Thank you Lost Paws!

We are so happy to have found Lost Paws Rescue of Texas!
The process went smoothly and we are crazy in love with our puppy.
Is clear they take care of all the pups there and they worry about their well being.
We a 100% recommend this organization for anybody who is looking to adopt a pet!

We had gone without a dog for 3 1/2 years and we finally decided it was time. After many days on the internet looking at various dogs through many organizations, we came upon a picture of Kobe (formally named Hansel) and thought this might be the dog for us. We met him within a week or so and Lost Paws allowed us to take him for a couple of weeks by paying half of the adoption fee up front and the balance if we wanted to keep him. We knew within a week that he was the dog for us. He is definitely the most lovable dog we have ever had, but he is also spunky and a fierce hunter and protector of the backyard from squirrels, birds, etc. Our house is again littered with dog toys. Kobe plays well with other dogs. We dog sat for a pit bull mix and a chihuahua a couple of weekends ago and Kobe and the big dog played all the time. It was hilarious.

His foster mom could not have been more helpful in advising us about him. We took him to our vet who declared him very healthy. Lost Paws is a winner in our book.

This is an outstanding organization whose dedication to their rescues is second to none! The application process was straight forward, but thorough. The dog I adopted was in excellent condition. You could tell he had been well cared for. I would highly recommend this rescue group to anyone seeking to adopt a pet. You will be treated professionally. Also, their fee is very reasonable and they will help you find a pet compatible with your needs.

I can't thank Lost Paws Rescue of Texas enough for saving Banister (now Dino) and allowing me to be his mommy! He is such a joy and has brought renewed joy to his fur-sister Layla and to me. He is a VERY happy and good boy! He is VERY loved. Thank you, thank you!! I have attached a picture of Dino & Layla. It took a while to get them both calmed down enough to sit for this picture and immediately afterwards, they were playing again.

We will always be thankful that Lost Paws Rescue of Texas let us adopt our little Scooter, it was the biggest honour of my life and the most gratifying. We had 8 amazing years with him. Scooter blossomed into this relaxed, carefree and loving little boy. I hope the pictures I have provided show how happy he was. He was my little shadow and use to protect me, only me, not my husband. I miss him everyday and night. We will rescue again in short order and hopefully from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas as they are a class act.

We adopted our five month old male Chihuahua in early April from Lost Paws. He came with the name Othello, but we renamed him Button because he is cute as a button, and he has a spot in his fur on the top of his head. The adoption experience was easy, but he has not been neutered yet, and the rescue folks gave us a list of veterinarians they said would take care of his rabies shot and getting him fixed. We tried the two closest vets, and neither would agree to provide a free neutering. The other vets are too far away. We are going to have to pay our regular vet to do the job. So the reality is that our $300 fee did not actually cover everything. But we love our fur baby.

We adopted Evie on May 1, 2021. She is such a sweet addition to our family. She loves to cuddle with whoever will hold her. She gets along well with our other dog. I am glad we were able to get Evie from Lost paws rescue of Texas.

My name is Ana. I adopted Biscuit April of 2021. We named him Lucas. The day a brought him home, once he met the rest of his human dad and brother; he wanted to familiarize himself with the house. He explored the entire house; while doing so, he found his new brother Matt hiding under the bed. As soon as he saw/sniffed him, he did his best to get him from under the bed to play. He fitted right in and I am very thankful for it!
I hope to give Lucas a wonderful life!
Thank you Lost Paws Rescue of Texas for making the adoption process so easy! Forever grateful.
Ana

One month ago we adopted a beautiful one-year-old female Pomeranian Mix from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas and we could not have been happier with their kindness in rescuing this amazingly loving dog and with how easy they made the adoption process.

What a blessing it is to have found this organization and to have been able to adopt the newest member of our family!

I adopted Lucy about 2 yrs ago and she has been wonderful. She is an overachieving goofball all the time. She gets along with the other dogs and was housebroken from the start. Lost Paws Rescue of Texas was great to work with and made the process seamless. I recommend them to anyone looking to bring a new furry family member home.

We recently lost our lab Lola and our Great Pyrenees Big Lou was not taking it well. We looked at hundreds of dogs but the Australian Shepherd Nicole was the one dog my wife and I both loved. We contacted Lost Paws of Texas in Carrollton and applied. We had a meet and greet so Big Lou could meet Nicole. It wasn’t love at first sight but I could tell he would take the leadership role in our pack, which he wasn’t, and would love her like he loved Lola. Thanks to Lost Paws for helping Nicole overcome some injury and bringing her to us. She is now Lorelei and she absolutely loves camping in our RV and hiking. She doesn’t hate that dad cooks all the time. Thanks Lost Paws of Carrollton!

We had recently lost our family dog of 17 years and were considering adopting a rescue. I saw George’s picture and read his story and knew right away I had to have him. His first couple of years of life had been hard and I knew we could give him an amazing life. He has been such a sweet, loving dog. He has brought our family so much happiness. I’m grateful to Lost Paws Rescue for helping George out of a terrible situation and taking care of his medical needs. And so thankful to them for uniting us with our sweet Georgie!

I walked in Petsmart and I always visit the dogs rescue groups bring...so here I am and all of sudden I see the most beautiful baby Japanese Chin named Melody! This is 2008. She was a rescue from puppy mill! Poor baby was so traumatized! I loved her so much!! Unfortunately she passed at 14 from CHF. I MISS HER SO VERY MUCH!!

We’re so grateful to Lost Paws for helping us adopt Spikey! He is the perfect addition to our family. Lost Paws was very helpful throughout the entire adoption process and followed up with any questions we had before and after adopting Spikey. I’d definitely recommend Lost Paws Rescue for anyone looking to adopt a new pet.

I had been searching for a new dog for a couple of months after waiting 1 year when i lost my Tango-I put in numerous applications with other rescues and took weeks to get back with me and by then the puppy i wanted was gone, With Lost Paws i was approved and contacted within the week. I can't be more happy, I can't understand why he was given up but he now has a forever home. From Day 1, he has not had an accident in home, he is so well behaved, Vet said he is in good health, although he was heartworm positive and Lost paws gave him his treatment needed.

Lost Paws was a great place to find our newest family member. They cover the first year major vet expenses with the adoption fee. Our puppy was very happy and healthy and almost completely potty trained by the time we adopted her. They give informative information about raising a puppy and really make sure they are going to a loving family. We couldn't be happier with our new puppy and the adoption process. I wish them much more success in the future, finding loving homes for all the animals.

Lost Paws is fantastic! We adopted Sugar Plum (now named Blueberry) about three weeks ago and we could not possibly be happier! She and our dog we adopted several months ago get along great, the adoption process was simple and you can really tell they care so much about the pets in their care. Blueberry is the perfect addition to our family and Lost Paws made it so seamless to find our perfect new fur baby. We will love her for years to come!

I have had THE BEST experience adopting through Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. The process was extremely straightforward , and they were so caring and helpful in every aspect. Leia is the best forever dog that I could have imagined and I'm so grateful that this organization brought her to me. I cannot recommend Lost Paws Rescue enough!

Thank you so much for your amazing service. From the moment I inquired about a dog, you have followed up with all the answers and information. We met you are PetsSmart and found the dog we inquired about. This puppy was, exactly as you described to us, a very sweet and smart lab- she was (again as you told me) already trained to use a doggy door. As a first time dog owners, you helped us at PetsSmart shop for all what we need to purchase for this puppy, from food to toys, all the way to a crate and treats. Amazing service!!!

Got my sweetest, well-behaved boy Papi from Lost Paws! Compassionate group that takes excellent care of their fosters. Would highly recommend!

We had an excellent adoption experience with Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. Yvette was very responsive as we completed the paperwork for adoption. At the adoption event, she allowed us space to interact with Murphy. We knew immediately on seeing his sweet face, that he was the puppy for us! The best surprise for our family was how sweet, loving and curious Murphy was. There was absolutely no hesitation, fear or agression from him. You could tell that he was treated with such love by the Lost Paws team. As a result, he is an excellent dog. He was potty trained within 2 weeks, crate trained and is so smart, playful and loving. We are so impressed what a good boy he is. He is such a excellent addition to our family.

During a the search for a new puppies for the boys, we happened upon the Lost Paws Rescue on-line. From the first experience to the last, it was a pleasure to work with Yvette and Donna. We found Huck on the website and fell in love with him from the get go. The team at Lost Paws was surely committed to their work. They communicated well from the get go and were super helpful through the entire process. When we brought him home, they checked in on how the dog was doing and made sure we were satisfied. They also set us up with a veterinarian in their network. Thank you to the Lost Paws Rescues for a great experience.

We are so blessed that Lost Paws took a chance on us when most rescues would not just because our kids are young. We adore our new addition and he fits right in with our boisterous crew!

After a month of looking for a friend to fill the huge hole left in our home and heart by the loss of our 13 year old chocolate lab I came across “Leah” on the Lost Paws web site. I showed my husband the picture and said “there she is, that’s our new dog”. Lost Paws was responsive and kind. We could not be happier with our choice. We now call her Riley and she makes friends wherever she goes!

Our little family were heartbroken when our minpin Sophie died at 16; nothing prepares you for that last time you cradle your fur child. Our remaining dog was depressed and would not leave out side. Forward 3 months when I came across Lost Paws and Tyrell. Yvette who is so wonderful and responded quickly; kept us informed each step of the adoption process until the day our family got to meet Tyrell for the first time. Tito came with complete medical records, micro chipped and trained to use a doggie door. You can tell this organization really cares who and where their animals go to.

If you are thinking of getting a pet, please consider adopting. For our family, Tyrell is the one who 'rescued' us.

My husband found Gertie on a pet finder site and we instantly fell in love with her. Her bio fit exactly what we were looking for so we reached out to find she was available for adoption. Lost Paws made the process easy and answered all of our questions. They were able to meet with us in a safe, socially distant and stress-free environment so Gertie could decide if she wanted to come home with us and she did! Lost Paws even followed up with us afterwards to make sure everything was ok and we just couldn't be happier. Thank you to Yvette who fostered her and cared for her so we could be her forever home!

We have so enjoyed Baize, now Dave. He is such a great addition to our family. Lost paws made the adoption painless and efficient. We highly recommend them.

We adopted Plumb, now known as Layla Grace, a few weeks ago. Layla had not had an easy life and she was a bit timid when we brought her home. She is now very comfortable and spoiled. Yvette and Donna made our adoption so very easy. They explained everything and answered any and all questions I had. They were able to tell us Layla’s history to help us make her feel calm and welcome in our home and also so we knew what from her past might scare her. Lost Paws Rescue was great and went above and beyond to help us complete our adoption. I will most definitely recommend them to others and will use them again in the future if needed. Thank you for your caring and your devotion Donna and Yvette. You are greatly appreciated.

We can't thank them enough. After losing our beloved dog to bladder cancer, we were nervous about finding the right pup. Yvette and the crew at Lost Paws were so professional and thorough during the whole adoption process. We adopted this sweetheart and noticed such a huge difference between him and dogs we've adopted straight from a shelter in the past! We just can't believe how well adjusted he is and are already so in love with him. We highly recommend them and if we ever decide that Cooper needs a brother or sister, we will go through Lost Paws again.

Lost Paws Rescue of Texas helped us find Charlie soon after we suddenly lost our 13-year-old Buddy, also a beagle mix. We first took their foster option, which allows a potential adopter to take a dog home for two weeks to see if the dog is a good match. We got to know Charlie well in this two-week period. We don’t know what his life was like before Lost Paws found him, but we gather that it wasn’t that good, especially when we were sitting in our patio and I raised my hand to wave away a spider hanging on a thread from the ceiling. I was appalled when Charlie cringed and cowered from me. Lost Paws’ foster option made me realize that it’s not just the dog who had to “prove” that he’s a good fit for the family. We also had to work hard to be the family for Charlie. We recently finalized adoption and are thrilled to have this very laid back, intelligent dog in our family. He is a joy to train. He learns fast, and is eager to please. Even when the beagle stubbornness kicks in, he is still mindful of commands and house rules. He went with us recently on a road trip to meet our son in college, and they loved each other right off the bat. We love watching Charlie enjoy the things that Buddy left behind. It helps our grieving hearts heal. We are looking forward to many years of friendship and love with him. Thank you, Lost Paws, for all you do!

I adopted Skyler from Lost Paws in February 2018. He is now Oliver. He was very timid at first and needed major TLC. Fast forward two years and he is the best little guy. Oliver is a very sweet boy. He gets along great with the other dog in the household and they are now best friends forever. Getting Oliver was the best gift ever. Thank you Lost Paws!

Lost Paws made this adoption process almost seamless!! We communicated first enough to understand what parts we each played and then we met and adopted our first (hopefully of many) 3 year old named Rosa Barks!!

This organization deserves your charity dollars because it makes so much sense!!!

Wonderful agency to work with. Very easy process but they also make sure that these animals are going to a good home. They also followed up with us several times after we brought our dog home to make sure we were all happy and doing well. I highly recommend them as a resource.

I adopted my Ginger 2 weeks ago. Lost Paws was fantastic in helping me rescue and adopt my little girl. They obviously care about their animals and want to make sure that they go to proper, loving homes. They have inquired about Ginger's progress since taking her home and love to get pictures and updates of her thriving in her new home.
Lost Paws does a fantastic job in helping re-home pets. I highly recommend them and have nothing but gratitude and respect for them.

Lost paws was really awesome. They answered my e mails and even suggested a dog for us that we later adopted. Their foster to adopt program is a very good idea if you have any reservations when considering adoption. They were even there for us after we took the dog home and went the extra mile to help with any issues. The are the best rescue in North Texas.

Lost Paws Rescue of Texas was awesome!

Our family decided to adopt a dog after over 20 years of not having a family pet. The adoption process was frustrating for us since we had never adopted a dog before. Online adoption applications submitted with no responses, no responses to emails sent, no returned telephone calls, the addition of certain requirements not in the animal's description, etc. At certain times over a two week period, it seemed that purchasing a dog would be a much easier and less frustrating process.

We then discovered an Australian Shepherd Mix who had been rescued by Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. Another online adoption submitted and an actual, timely response. Over a two week period there was an actual response. Lost Paws Rescue of Texas seemed to be different than the others we had dealt with. The dog we had initially inquired about was going to be adopted by another family. We were then asked if we were interested in another dog from the same family. The email even included a picture of the dog. We said yes. The entire adoption process with Lost Paws Rescue of Texas was professional. There are not enough accolades to express our satisfaction with them. I will end this review the same way it started: Lost Paws Rescue of Texas was awesome!

Lost Paws Rescue of Texas is a wonderful organization! The application process was thorough, yet simple and quick. Once approved, we were able to meet and adopt Coco, a miniature Shih Tzu. Coco is so cute and cuddly, which is just what we were looking for, and she has been a friend to our other rescue, Bentally. We are so blessed and grateful for the work Lost Paws is doing and would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt!

We got Clark at the very beginning of the pandemic and it could not have been better timing. I lost my shitzu- weenie mix on March 4th and was not planning on adopting so soon and then pictures of went up of the puppies from Clark’s litter. We fell in love and am so happy! Lost paws makes adopting easy-unlike some of the other adoption agencies we reached out to. I highly recommend Lost paws and am so grateful for what they do to help these animals.

This organization is great, friendly, prompt and has the best dogs to add to your family. I had been looking for about a month and had reach out to two other organizations and fortunately did not adopt from them. I found Lost Paws Rescue of Texas on Pet finder and fell in love with a dog named Alfie (pic with scarf). I reached out immediately and had a response within, I would say 1 to 2 hours. It just so happened that Saturday (5/16/2020) they were having a meet and greet in Frisco. We met Alfie and he jumped right into our truck. It was meant to be! We couldn't be any happier, our hearts are full. I would recommend this organization to anyone looking for a fur baby!

We got our new furbaby from Lost Paws. Their communication was fast and friendly. Their heart for these amazing animals needing a good furever home was clear and I'm so thankful to have found them and our sweet (and spunky) puppy.

We had the best experience with Lost Paws! They were quick to respond to all of my questions and we were thrilled to find our little Olive! She’s been the BEST little dog and we are so happy with our experience. I will continue to share the rescue info for anyone looking!!

We are so thrilled to have adopted from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. They were by far the most on top of it rescue to work with. They were prompt, reliable and honest. I will be referring all my friends and family to them. Our little Annie Jo has completed our family and our hearts are so full. Thanks, Lost Paws for all you do!

It was a great experience adopting our little guy from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas! They travelled to Laredo to rescue a van load of great dogs and we saw this one on the video they posted on Facebook. We contacted Lost Paws and they kept in touch with us as he was checked out medically and neutered. The adoption process was easy and convenient and we highly recommend Lost Paws for anyone looking for a new family member!

We adopted our family member just over a week ago and we couldn't be happier with the whole process! After much research and a lot of disappointments with other rescue organizations (no email, no phone call, no acknowledgement to our inquiry about a pet), Donna from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas emailed back the same day and within a few hours concerning our inquiry. She answered our questions and set up an appointment in a very timely manner. They followed through with everything they promised. We met Benji (fka Sherlock) and fell in love! There is definitely an advantage in adopting a dog that comes from a foster home. Benji is housebroken, affectionate, good with other animals, and already knew how to use our doggie door! The adoption process was easy but thorough. I appreciate that there is a vetting procedure for the adoption process. We love that Benji has found his 'furever' home! We highly recommend Lost Paws Rescue of Texas!

I fell in love with Shelby's little face on a website. Her name was Pearl at the time. I submitted an application and they got back to me within less than 12 hours that she would be mine. I felt like I had won the lottery.

The volunteer who helped me Donna, went way above anything I could have imagined as far as helping me pick her up, including finding me a very cheap flight, and meeting me at the airport with my new dog. They made it so very easy for me. It was in early February before everything shut down, so I flew in on a morning flight. Met Donna and Shelby with my new and empty carryon and we got on our return flight. My round trip flight was $99. Shelby's one way flight was $125. So worth it.

Its now two months later and I'm completely smitten with this little sassy brat. We are still getting to know each other and haven't learned yet how to play together, but I'm so looking forward to spending time with Shelby.

Now, I'm helping my friend find her own little rescue dog and the first place I looked was Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. I just love them!

It has been so easy to work with this nonprofit! They have been amazing every step of the way. We lost our sweet pup a few months ago and we were so ready to adopt a new fur baby. Lost paws cares so much for their animals and they make sure they go to a good home������

We adopted our puppy from Lost Paws Rescue. She was saved from a kill shelter and we are ever so grateful for all their work in saving these pups. I worked with Donna who was very patient and worked to help us find the right furever family pet. Our puppy has had her shots and was very well cared for. We received all her veterinary documentation. I highly recommend this rescue group! They truly care about each animal and finding the right home❤️

April fools day was no joke this year as my husband and I found our perfect match through the great work of Lost Paws of Texas. Bethany is our third adopted dog & the entire process was flawless. The communication about her temperament & where she came from was excellent. She is the perfect match for us & the entire process of adopting her was flawless right from the start.
Thank you for making our lives whole again!

We recently adopted a puppy from Lost Paws and couldn’t be happier. Our puppy was clearly well cared for and well socialized and adjusted while he was in their care. Our puppy, Max, is a joy and we were so glad to find a rescue organization that was still offering animals for adoption during quarantine. The post adoption care that Lost Paws offers is also beyond anything I expected. We will definitely look to Lost Paws for any future family pets and recommend them.

Adopted my first dog from Lost Paws back in 2005. It was such a positive experience, when our 16 yr old terrier mix died this past January, we contacted Lost Paws again. I initially asked about a puppy on their website but she had already been adopted. They let me know some other puppies would be available in 6 weeks or so. I kept in touch and they contacted me when the puppies were ready for adoption. We choose this precious little girl. We couldn’t be any happier. She is pure joy and gets along so well with our other dogs. From the first day she already knew how to use the dog door and use the bathroom outside. We couldn’t believe how smart she is. Her foster family must have taken very good care of her. Lost Paws of Texas is a great place to adopt from and I appreciate how hard they work to rescue and adopt out so many cats and dogs.

This is a fantastic rescue that will make sure you are matched with the right dog! Our family had been looking for a fur baby for a while and found Lost Paws online. I so appreciated the way they read my application and made sure that we were matched with the right fit based on our lifestyle and our requests. We found the PERFECT dog and couldn't be happier. It is very apparent that they take the best of care of their animals. Thank you, Lost Paws!

I looked around for quite some time for my new baby, Todd. In these dark days of Covid-19 restrictions, working from home has presented itself as the PERFECT time to adopt this sweet baby, while giving him a normal and healthy routine in life. Lost Paws Rescue of Texas had so many sweet babies to consider and it was hard to not take all of them home. Rest assured, Donna helped and guided me towards the perfect little guy and I can't be more thankful! I had a lot of questions and Donna made the adoption process an easy and pleasant experience. Honestly, I had never heard of Lost Paws before, but I will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants their next dog. I wanted to make sure Todd was the right fit for me and vice versa. There was an optional trial period and that made me feel so much better about my decision. Obviously, Todd is a keeper and that just made it that much easier. Thank you so much, Lost Paws! You guys rock and it is clear you are in this for the right reasons; to find these precious babies the perfect, loving home.

I want to thank Lost Paws Rescue of Texas for all of the love and time they give to these animals who so desperately need good homes. We got to take home sweet Precious this past weekend, and every step of the process was really wonderful. Donna answered all of my questions I had and was such a great help. They gave me the medications the vet subscribed for her after she was spayed and made sure she was healthy and ready to go home with us. I could tell her Foster mom was so kind and gentle with her while she was in her care. She is such a Godsend, and I am grateful to Lost Paws Rescue of Texas!

We adopted Bella (Annabel) from Lost Paws and had an amazing experience. They took great care of our baby and ensured we were appropriately prepared to take-on the role of being Bella’s forever family. Lost Paws communicated quickly and efficiently. They were kind and caring toward the dogs, but also the families. I highly recommend finding your fur baby with Lost Paws.

We got the privilege of adopting this sweet pup mid January and he is just perfect! He definitely rescued me! Love him so much and the process was really easy! Could not be happier!

We had a great experience with Lost Paws of Texas! I emailed Lost Paws and got a response almost immediately from Donna. The process moved quickly for us to get our precious puppy Maverick (came with name Brazos). When picking him up we were given a folder with his medical records along with a lot of useful information about taking care of him - Feeding, training, what to expect when we got home, list of vets they partner with. He is too young to be neutered, but his puppy shots along with neutering were included in the very reasonable adoption fee. We would absolutely adopt from Lost Paws again in the future.

We adopted Jasper through Lost Paws of Texas. Best decision EVER! We had recently lost our 14 yr old doxie, Mick Mick and I was devastated. I knew we had so much more love to give and there were so many babies needing FURever homes. Lost Paws worked with us on timing to make sure we had the opportunity to adopt Jasper. He is such a handsome and smart boy. Within days he was doing basic commands. He rings the bell to go outside to potty, loves to run and play fetch and he can now catch a ball in mid air. He is spoiled to the core and we couldn’t imagine life without him. Thank you Lost Paws for what you do and for bringing Jasper into our lives

I love Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. The people are so nice and so quick in answering questions. When I met Frasier (was named Bourbon by the rescue) at PetSmart for the potential adoption of him, it didn't take long before I was hooked. Actually, I was pretty much hooked ahead of time by his profile photo, but he totally clinched the deal with his awesome personality ... so loving, playful, calm and well-behaved. He is such a joy.

As the adoption process comes to a close, a folder is given to the adopter with all the animal's information as well as so much valuable information about one's new family member, very detailed and helpful.

I am so pleased with my new boy and I thank everyone involved. I'm pretty sure he and I were a match made in Heaven. Thank you LPRoT for a job well done.

Thank you so much.

I adopted Jo-Jo (then called Misty) from LPOTx April 2019. She did not know what a doggie toy was, would not play with our other small dog, never knew how to take a treat from our hands, very little socialization really. She bit each of us on the hand at least once while trying to pet her when we first got her (ouch!), and she would bolt out the door if we left it ajar even the slightest bit. Skinny and terrified is how I would describe her.
Now she loves to cuddle up in bed with me, loves her toys, has taken over our couch, knows the joy of free-play with our older dog and loves all of us. She has wiggled her way into our hearts, and we love her so much. Today a huge milestone was reached when she stood in front of the wide-open front door and stayed inside on voice command only. She has come a long way in just a few months. She is spoiled and we are so enjoying this feisty older lady. Thank you LPOTx for helping us find our love - we appreciate Yvette and everything she does so selflessly for the dogs. You are an angel, along with your team of volunteers. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Lost Paws is a family owned adoption organization, that excels in finding homes for pets. The quality of care of the dogs that the dogs receive is wonderful. They are always there for the families that adopt; not for just the day of adoption, but for always.

WE got our two beautiful white kitties from Lost Paws about 7 years ago and about 3 years ago we found a dog running loose on the highway in Mississippi and finding that he wasn't chipped and could not locate his owner, as lovely as he was he really was a threat to the cats, he was fast and spry! So I contacted a few local rescues and no one could take him, so I called Lost Paws, and she said just bring him to our Saturday event and we will gladly take him. It wasn't 2 weeks later after they figured out his neat personality and gave him a great name, he was adopted into a good family with no cats. Many thanks for saving us on this one, he was a cute dog, I hope he is still running around and happy as he was when we had him. Thanks Lost Paws!

Lost Paws is the way it should be done! From the get-go. They make sure the animals are healthy and treated by a vet before they are ever put up. Their trial adoption is wonderful. Been living with my fur friend for 6 years now and could not be happier.
I like Yvette and Lost Paws so much, I signed up for regular contributions. Guess I better go back and increase my donations.
Thanks Yvette! Gucci and I were made for each other. Staff, volunteers and website are great.

We first met Yvette with Lost Paws Rescue Of Texas In December 2009. We were searching the Petfinder website for a female Dachshund and were connected to Lost Paws. We were excited that they had a beautiful little red female dachshund and Yvette arranged for us to meet her right away. It was love at first sight and we adopted her (Lily). We kept in touch with Yvette, including occasionally texting her pictures, and would go see her yearly at a local adopt a pet event. Six years later we decided that Lily might be more active if she had a fur sibling. This time I went straight to the Lost Paws site and I was excited to see that they had a small female Dachshund available. Yvette was excited to hear from me and to know that we were looking for a sister for Lily. We took Lily to meet her (Gracie) to make sure the match was okay with Lily. They were sisters the moment they met and we brought Gracie home that day. They are both amazing little girls and we love them to pieces. Because of Yvette's tireless efforts to help dogs and cats find homes, we have two beautiful little dogs who are a very important part of our life. Yvette rescued both of our girls from Dallas Animal Services which gave them a much higher chance of being adopted. We will be forever grateful to Yvette for that act of kindness.

Lost Paws of TX is a great organization that helps find loving homes for rescued animals. We are so fortunate to have met Yvette through Lost Paws Rescue. My husband has severe allergies and Yvette was willing to let us take home a dog on a trial basis to ensure he was a good fit for our family. We immediately fell in love with our new pet, Cloud. My children were so touched by Yvette's kindness and love for animals that they even donated their birthday money to Lost Paws Rescue of TX.

Almost ten years ago, I met my darling "Cheyenne Affenpinscher", now often called "Siani" ("Shawny"), on "Petfinder." The second I saw her magical elfin face and dainty wee body, my heart soared. Then a complete sentence formed itself in my mind: "Wherever you are, I am coming for you." And so, guided by love, our most wonderful adventure began.
Cheyenne had been rescued from a mill and was being fostered in Texas; I lived in Toronto, Canada - with no passport and burdened by a dire fear of flying. Yet without hesitating, I applied successfully for Cheyenne, got the passport, and the flight day finally arrived: snow storm in January - big, big snow storm. But it was warm and clear at the Dallas airport, which is where I met a most wonderful woman, Yvette Garza from Lost Paws of Texas. With her was the smallest, cutest, most magical little elf of a dog I could ever even imagine. Yet there she was, before my very eyes! Back to Toronto we flew, that very same day, and - once we could finally land in the thick, swirling snow - we began our charmed lives together.
I am a therapist and Siani comes to work with me. Now sixteen, this tiny, calm, sweet, funny, gentle, serene, kind little dog continues to soothe and enchant people of all ages. Often, she brings a toy out and drops it at the feet of her chosen human playmate, as if to say, "Why talk when you can play?" She brings wide smiles and heartfelt joy everywhere she goes. She is especially fond of children, seeking out their open nature and gentle touch.
I am beyond blessed to share my life with this beautiful, miraculous little being.
Lost Paws of Texas, the world is immeasurably better for having you in it, as are those who owe their precious lives to you, including my beloved Siani. Through you, she and I "rescued" each other, and I am more grateful to you, Yvette, and Lost Paws of Texas than words can ever say.

Love from MJ and Siani

We were so lucky to find Lost Paws when we were looking for a fur baby. We thought we wanted one family dog...Yvette had another idea. We saw a picture online of a sweet Shih tzu/Bichon mix dog and asked to meet her. Yvette brought the one we saw and her sister to meet us and said we could choose one or both. In the end we fell in love with both of them and could not separate them. We believe in the work that Lost Paws does and have stayed in touch with Yvette over the years, she boards our babies while we are out of town (even a new one we added)! It is so comforting to know they are in such good hands while we are away. This organization does such good work and we are so thankful!

So thankful for Lost Paws! After the heartbreaking loss of our previous dog, we knew we wanted to adopt another rescue when the time was right. I found Lost Paws and knew right away they would be able to help! Not all rescue organizations are created equal I can personally attest that Lost Paws is top notch! They truly care about their rescues and work tirelessly to find the best fit for both the family and pet.

Donna and the team listened to our needs and we worked together to find the right dog. They not only love the dogs, they KNOW the dogs. Trudy was exactly what we were looking for and no doubt she was loved and well cared for while in foster care! She settled right in with us and we couldn’t be happier with the entire process.

Thank you Lost Paws, for all you do to give these angels a second chance for a forever home! We will be back soon for another furry friend!

Lost Paws Rescue of Texas are doing special work. The volunteers work tirelessly to unite the perfect animal with the perfect forever family and loving home. They spread so much love and joy to the greater communities.

We were thrilled to find out they also board. Our fur babies can spend time in a place where they are loved, protected, get to enjoy fresh air, and have fun.

As a side note, my husband had been traveling extensively for work and our son had become fearful to sleep alone at night. It had gotten to the point where I didn’t know how to help him. From the moment he saw a very special wounded rescue dog, he was a new boy. He went from being afraid to be in his bedroom at night to looking forward to his snuggle time with “his baby.”
Thanks Lost Paws Rescue of Texas! We’re not sure who was “rescued”, our fur babies or us!

We are so happy with our adoption of our little girl! She is such a love. She was in great shape when we got her and very healthy. She has adjusted so well with all our other animals. We would adopt from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas again.
