Throw a Dog a Bone is an all-breed dog rescue located in Austin, TX. We focus on saving dogs primarily in the rural shelters in South Texas.  Many of these shelters have no exposure and very few resources. Our mission is to rescue as many of these dogs as possible and find them loving forever homes.

We find dogs in the rural kill shelters who are at risk for euthanasia and place them in foster homes. When they are ready to find a forever home, we place them up for adoption both locally and out of state.  If we find an out of state adopter, we arrange transport.  We follow our dogs throughout their transport and into their forever homes.

We need volunteers to help us find all of the rural shelters in the state, donate supplies and volunteer in the rural shelters. We also need help transporting dogs, foster homes and veterinary technicians.  Of course, we always need donations and help with fundraising as well.  Please help us save more pups!
