We recently took Bingo in for her spay surgery and booster vaccinations. We loved the whole experience! The online registration was convenient and easy, communication was fantastic, and staff were so helpful! They let us know when an earlier appointment became available, the timing was just perfect. They sent instructions and reminders about what to expect. Bingo received great care and I’m so grateful that this service exists in our area! Thank you very much!!!
Save Angel, An incredible nonprofit where the staff is so caring and always welcomes you to their facility. They show immense love to our dogs and care for their well-being while they are getting spayed and neutered. The level of knowledge and professionalism has made me choose them for every one of my spay and neuter needs.
The people are so wonderful and caring at Save-An-Angel. Our dog sadly had to be put down but they couldn’t have been more compassionate and kind through the process.
They help us every month to get the preventative meds we need at an affordable price. They’re always super helpful!
Save an Angel has been an invaluable partner with the Austin Pets Alive PASS program for the last couple of years. We've referred dozens of clients in the Central Texas area in need of preventative care for their fur-babies and collaborated on numerous fundraisers to serve clients facing economic hardship. Their team is consistently compassionate and dedicated to meet the needs of both ends of the leash!
Earlier this year, a client's home in Bastrop County burned down and she needed help with food/supplies along with vaccine updates for her pup. We worked with Red Cross and Save An Angel to keep this family together!
I absolutely love their rescue program and 3 amazing creatures were added to my family as a result!

Save an angel allowed me to foster puppies and through their program I was able to grow my family by 2 as I adopted two of my precious fosters. The foster program is a great way to meet and care for puppies that are in need while and also allowiny you to find your perfect fit.
This place is my go-to for all my pet vaccines and spay/neuter. Staff is awesome and always friendly and welcoming. What a blessing to have this place after finding my last foster puppy ❤️ my brother just got a puppy and started taking her there too. Yay for Save An Angel!!
I have fostered for Save An Angel. They are an amazing organization who cares so much for the animals. They have helped countless people in difficult situations (medical, hoarding, etc) and found solutions for both the people and the pets. They also help MANY people be able to spray and neuter their pets and provides wellness services too. They are rockstars from the director to surgeons to techs!! Everyone goes above and beyond.
Ive been going to the wellness clinic in Bastrop for almost 5 years this place is great.i had 3 dogs spayed neutered I get monthly 3 way protection for my dogs.the staff is always friendly and keep it running smoothly over there.i think I was one of their first ever customer. Pet owners should try their services you won't be disappointed
My neighbor told me about Save An Angel and the wonderful caring people that are involved with it. I was ready for a dog didn’t know what I wanted or needed. I just knew I had lots of love to give. I have now adopted Two from them. D’Angelo and ruffles. They are my world. you can tell the fosters took such good care of them. Wonderful personalities. Thank you all the fosters all the good people they help all these little ones find loving and caring homes.
I was interested in adopting a young small dog (had Labradors for 40+ years but no longer can handle big dogs). I at the time I had a 12yo female Basenji/Terrier mix & a 5yo male Chihuahua/Min-Pin mix so a match for them was critical. I asked Kickie (I know from my vet’s office) about Save An Angel. She immediately showed me pics of several puppies in the program. I filled out their application and was contacted by Alma to schedule a meet/greet. While all the pups were very sweet, one in particular (Sandy) kept jumping in my lap. Having done Labrador rescue work for 17yrs (co-founder of Heart of Texas Lab Rescue), I always found the best matches are when the dog picks the human. So I asked to adopt Sandy, a 5mo female Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix. After they did a home visit the same day, Sandy came to stay. She is such character… loves to retrieve, pesters Tango (Chihuahuas mix) and is a cuddle bug & clown. Save an Angel does amazing work to ensure the dogs in their care are medically sound and ensures their adoptions match the humans’ needs, lifestyle and are placed in safe homes.
Incredible care and compassion for animals and their people! We adopted our “angel” a year ago, and he’s the perfect fit for our family. Love the people who fostered our baby as well as those who helped place him with us.
We got our sweet and loyal dog from Save An Angel. She has been a super snuggler and we love her so much. She also had a litter of puppies and they were all placed in incredible homes. It amazing what this group has done for so many animals in need. I would encourage anyone to share about and support Save An Angel.
Save An Angel is an amazing animal advocacy and wellness organization. They run a very well used low cost wellness and spay neuter clinic in Bastrop, TX. This is an area whose residents desperately needed access to these types of services. The clinic brings in residents from all over Bastrop County and the city of Austin and beyond. They also have a wellness wagon which gives residents an opportunity to obtain low cost wellness services closer to home. They also do animal rescue and adoption and it is all foster based. They do a very thorough job of vetting potential adopters to make sure they're matching the best pet with them. As far as I know they have an extremely low animal return rate which says a lot about the work they do before finalizing any animal adoption. All the staff that work at the clinic are very friendly and personable and you can tell this work means a lot to them. The organization also regularly attends community events to educate others about their services. I personally have adopted 3 dogs from them and volunteer to help at their clinic and also as a foster home for dogs and cats.

I’ve been working with Save An Angel since COVID first started. Working from home meant I was free to foster puppies. We’ve had numerous Save An Angel puppies and dogs come through our home. Save An Angel does a great job of finding the best match for each animal. The work they do in Bastrop is amazing. They’re servicing an area that was desperately in need of low cost spay/neuter services. We highly recommend them and will continue to offer our full support of this great organization.
Our family made the decision to begin looking to adopt a dog over the summer. We knew we needed support in finding the right dog for our family. We were so fortunate to find Save an Angel! From the first conversation with Kickie to the meet and greets with Alma and Genevieve we knew they wanted what was best for us and the pups. Through all of the support we were able to find the absolute best puppy for our family, Scuttle. He is everything we needed in our family. We are in love with him. Thank you for the work you do to bring pups together with their forever homes!
Save An Angel helps get wonderful animals with caring families! They bring mobile care, to people who may not have otherwise sought care. These people are the real deal.
Save an Angel helped us through the process of finding the right dog for our family. I am a first time adopter and I was a bit nervous because I wasn’t sure what to expect. This group was awesome. I had a phone call and I described what we were looking for in a dog, explained our family life and current dog’s behavior. The group actually recommended that we consider a male dog because as I described her, my current dog is a bit sassy. They went over all the available dogs they thought sounded like would be a good fit. We got to meet several dogs to see if any caught our eye. They then arranged to bring a couple dogs over to see if our current dog had a preference. The original “sleep over” was about three days but they allowed us to extended to about a week because the little guy was quite shy. I was nervous that it might not work but they reassured me that would be okay. They said we could keep looking if it didn’t work out. They are truly here to help not just families but the animals find the perfect fit. The little guy ended up opening up to us and our current dog. After the week we decided to formally invite the little guy into our family. Once we adopted him we were invited into a Facebook group with all his litter mates. It’s quite cute and fun to see how his siblings and his mama are doing with their new families. I would definitely reach out to Save an Angel to help you find your next family member.
Thank you Save an Angel for helping us find our fur baby. I highly recommend them, they genuinely care to match the pet with the family. They kept in touch with throughout the entire adoption process and beyond which is rare to find! The foster family was super nice and supportive too.
Save An Angel matched me with my forever fur baby!!! They were amazing from the start of the process. I had a phone interview with Kickie detailing the dogs available and their personalities and quirks. Through that conversation we scheduled a meet and greet with her foster parent, Genevieve. The next step was a sleepover for a few nights to see how she fit into our lives, which I personally thought was so special! We got daily messages from Genevieve to check on us and see how things were going. Once we adopted her we got an entire bag of food, the cutest toys, chews, and her favorite treats!!! Genevieve was amazing with recommendations on training locations, household additions, and tips that worked for her. We got all her paperwork sent over to us with her monthly heart worm medication.
I can’t say enough good things about this organization! Such an amazing recuse that truly cares for the well being of their pups. We are so lucky to have Piper.
This is one of the most extraordinary rescue operations in the region. The level of compassion and dedication of the staff is unmatched, providing services, not only locally, but supporting rescue efforts around the country, when they are called to serve. They have not only taken in hundreds of creatures, but work through a system of fosters and connections to ensure they provide loving homes, training in preparation, and seamless transitions to forever homes. They truly are following their purpose and giving the animals that day work with a wonderful life.
Thank you for providing low cost vaccines and spay/neuter services! This allows us to safely foster pups when needed in our community!
Save an Angel in Bastrop, TX is a terrific resource for the community, offering low cost neuter/spay surgeries and routine shots at super affordable prices. Their intake and pickup process is smooth and quick, and the folks are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this resource, really the only low-cost alternative in Bastrop County other than the mobile groups.
It was so much fun to foster dogs though Save an Angel. They were so good to the dogs, and they have a great volunteer community. I finally foster failed with a dog that had lived in a cage for the first 5 years of his life. He's my little sweetie. Thanks Kickie for bringing Lamb into my life!

Save An Angel is one of our very favorite non-profits. We volunteer and donate to them on a regular basis because their dedication to animals does not falter. They don't just talk the talk. As an organization they continue to grow and evolve programs, for example their community Spay and Neuter Clinic, that proactively help address animal advocacy needs in and around our communities.
I adopted my first dog from Save-an-Angel seven (7) years ago. I was a new pet owner and my fur baby had been through several fosters already. I had just graduated and was starting my first job. I was broke. Save-an-angel waived the adoption fee, donated a big crate to me, and spent countless hours talking me through dog ownership for dummies. Shortly after adoption, before I even had time to get new tags, we had a runaway on our hands. The women involved in this organization dropped everything to pray with me, make calls to shelters, and even contacted a pet psychic to help locate my lost friend. I was so worried because both she and I were unfamiliar with the area we lived in. I felt like a failure. I don’t think I could have made it with the support from my save-an-angel family. Those were the longest few hours of my life!! Eventually we found her a few blocks away sunning herself in a guy’s front yard while he was outside washing his car.
My beautiful girl is my best friend and I am forever grateful to save-an-angel for the gifts they have given us. This organization is worth all the praise as they continue to improve the lives of our fur friends and those who didn’t know how much love they had in their hearts until opening up to fostering or adopting.
These great folks work hard to provide care for so many animals! Their efforts to spay and neuter the cats and dogs of Bastrop County have saved untold numbers of unwanted pets that would end up homeless or worse. An incredible group of folks!
I fostered for Save an Angel before I moved out of the area. They were always super responsive. A great benefit to the area and some beyond to help animals in need and saved many lives. The team works tirelessly to save animals hurt or at risk of being killed.
Save An Angel does so much for the pets of Bastrop county … from vaccinations to low cost spay and neuter, microchipping and more. It’s a big job in a big county and they rise to the occasion daily. And they do it with compassion, and a true love for what they do.
After a storm, Save An Angel came to Plaquemines Parish, LA. They helped transport animals and find them homes and later came back to help us out. They saved a dog that had a sever condition with its esophagus, taking it to Texas to get it help and a special adopter who took excellent care of the special needs dog. Had is stayed in LA the life expectancy & prognosis of the dog would have been bleak. They saved that dog’s life along with many many more. I am forever grateful for Save An Angel.
I have 14 four legged babies and remissions in cancer. I have been looking to find god parents for my doggies if anything happens to me. No luck! Finally spoke to SAA and they will take care of my babies if anything happens to me. Really gave me peace of mind! Thank you SAA!
I am a foster and volunteer with Save an Angel. I am blown away with the leadership. The dedication of our doc and staff at our low cost spay and neuter clinic is amazing!
My experience is actually with a foster mom for Save An Angel, who I pet sit for on occasion. She has fostered countless puppies and kittens and I’m amazed at how this organization really does everything in their power to care for those that other groups cannot help. They partner so well together to improve the lives of these animals and you know they go to their forever homes much happier and loved after having been a part of Save An Angel. When I’m ready to adopt another dog or cat, I know I’ll be going straight to Save An Angel!
We are so thankful for the work Save An Angel does. We adopted Howie a couple of months ago. He was one of 7 poodles rescued from the home of a former breeder who had the dogs in cages. They were all in terrible shape with fur so long it was matted over their eyes. Howie and the other poodles were taken in by SAA, groomed, given proper vet care, and sent to loving foster homes. We were fortunate enough to meet Howie just a few days after his rescue. The rest is history! We love this little pup and are so grateful to SAA for helping Howie, and connecting us with the perfect addition to our family.
Had an amazing experience with Save an Angel getting our cat spayed. Extremely easy to make an appointment online, everyone was friendly and kind. Our community is very lucky to have such a phenomenal low-cost resource for these life saving services, keeping unwanted litters out of our already over crowded shelters.
In June I found a very young kitten in the parking lot at the gym I go to--no mom, siblings, or people anywhere nearby. So, I took her home as I have many other stray and feral cats I've found in the rural small town I live in. Since I do fix and rehome/release cats on a semi-regular basis, I always take them to low cost clinics for their procedure and vaccines. I've experienced a handful of other organizations, but this was my first time using Save An Angel. I was surprised how quick and easy it was to make an appointment online and get her in. In my past experience, sometimes I've had to wait months for an opening. They were also very patient and understanding about rescheduling us because she was still too young/small the first time I tried to bring her in. All the paperwork could be done online in advance, and the reminders were thorough and helpful. Dropping her off and picking her up was SUCH A BREEZE! Again, with other organizations I've used, I'm used to waiting an hour (plus) to get checked in, it's usually fairly chaotic--this was the complete opposite! As a very Type A person, I was extremely impressed at the efficient systems they've developed to get all the pets checked in as smoothly as possible. Everyone we encountered was super friendly, present, and knowledgeable--I felt this sweet little kitten was in great hands! They were also able to educate me on deworming her--I had not given her the correct over the counter medication for the type of worms she had, so they provided the correct medicine and detailed instructions on how to administer it at home. Really could not have been a better experience! And, after all these cats and kittens I've rehomed, this one has made a mark and is staying with our family--we love Wednesday (our kitty's name) and all the folks at Save An Angel!
In January I decided to become a foster parent for fur babies and connected with Save an Angel. I had a very pleasant and reassuring experience during the application and onboarding process. I was assigned a 5 week old cutie. Through the process the coordinator’s responses were fast, clear and effective. My questions were quickly answered. They focused on the care of the pup and it was evident that their goal was the placement in the adequate home. Their spay and neuter clinic is extremely clean and does amazing work to curve the over population
of cats and dogs. When I had reservations about adopting Brie, I wasn’t pushed. I was allowed to really put the puppy first by considering all of the options. Ultimately, there was no way we could part with the little monster, so she became part of our family. The adoption process was even easier after that. Even after the adoption the coordinator has stated in contact. This organization is truly focused on their mission and I commend them for their dedication. Once our pup is fully trained we will definitely open our doors again to another foster and will be sure to work with save an angel.
Save An Angel connected us with our new family member, a dog that was rescued from a bad situation who now is living his best life with his forever family. They do amazing work for animals in need and bring so much joy. I recommend SAA 100 percent.
This organization is amazing! They care so much about the community cars of Bastrop County and have designed a program specifically to aid in TNR (trap-neuter-return) of community cats. Our staff lives working with them, they are amazingly organized & efficient
They have helped us find homes for so many of our loving, wonderful babies! We have come a long way, and only need a few more to go! Save an angel is so selfless and loving! So every little bit you are able to donate, even if it's just your time, you are helping save lives
Thanks to Save An Angel, we were able to move multiple dogs from Tx, which is the number one state in the US for killing adoptable dogs, to states in the north where there are fewer homeless and unwanted dogs. Their transport is our first choice when it comes to sending dogs north. It is always clean, safe and on-time. You can tell the volunteers really care about the animals.
I have known Kickie for many years, from our days working for another nonprofit spay/neuter clinic. She has always been a fierce advocate for animals in need. She truly embodies every aspect of animal rescue, and walks the walk-creating a mini rehab and recovery in her own home. This rescue is focused on providing low cost spay/neuter services, a much needed service in so many rural counties. What makes this group stand out, is the impact they have had with folks struggling to manage large numbers of animals in their homes. Often these people are met with judgement, anger and reprimands. They may get a few animals fixed, but do not return, so the cycle continues. Dealing with these cases involves a delicate balance of setting boundaries, while remaining respectful of owners. Save An Angel handles these cases beautifully and has earned people’s trust in the process. I can not say enough about their commitment to providing professional, quality services to those who need it most. Please consider supporting them if you can!

This is my sweet girl that I fostered and adopted through Save An Angel. ❤️
Forever grateful, is all we can say! My wife and I kept seeing posts about a fabulous chihuahua, named Detective Tutuola. In the videos, he was quite the character, which is a miracle in its self, coming from the worst case of abuse I’d ever seen. We decided to go meet this little fella and we fell in love. We had the great pleasure of adopting him. It was such a wonderful experience working with Save an Angel, that we ended up adopting another chihuahua, Maggie Moo. I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d ever own a small dog, as I’ve always had a lab and still have one. TuTu and Maggie, bring us so much joy and laughter. Thank you Save an Angel.
I saw a facebook post from a woman in Alvin, TX who had saved some cats from a hurricane but was now overwhelmed with over 100 in her home! Grassroots involvement begged for help and Save an Angel stepped up. They answered my wishes...and the wishes of over 100 cats, all of whom are now being spayed, neutered, vetted, and transported to fosters and rescues across the country and will someday have their own safe and loving homes. Thank the heavens for their expertise and generosity!
SAA is an awesome animal rescue group that reaches many Besides rescue they have a wonderful spay neuter program also. My experiences have been many in the past all successful.

This is my absolute favorite charity based on the amazing work they do in my community and the work they do to save them all.
I am so impressed with the impact that Save An Angel has had on the Bastrop community. By providing low-cost spay and neuter surgeries to thousand of pets in the county, Save An Angel is helping the people, the pets, and the shelter. In addition to their low-cost vet services, they have also helped rescue so many animals in need and provided transport services to countless others. I always recommend Save An Angel to everyone I know in Bastrop.
I lost my lab in Oklahoma on Oct.7, of 2016. Save An Angel got a call from a woman who found her. They posted My Lab on Craiglist To The Public for Adoption. I contacted them, they would Not even Let me see her ! They had her in a Foster Home and told me they gave her to these people.. I was and still am 100% Positive she was My Dog.. How Can They Be So Cruel ????
I had her for 7 yeas since she was a puppy, a Gift from my husband.
Not a day goes by that I don't Miss or Wonder about her. I Love Her. "She is My Lady."
My husband and I live in an unincorporated area where a lot of dogs get dumped or otherwise end up lost. I found a dog in terrible condition, and since it as after business hours animal control would not provide any assistance. After reaching out for help via social media, Save-an-Angel responded within minutes and find their way to pick up the dog. They used so many resources to help this pupper, and cared for him until they found a wonderful forever home. This organization not only helps animals, they empower community members like to to respond to animals in crisis because while I can't rehab a sick or injured animal myself, I can intervene and know that there is hope.
