&quot;Rescuing God&#039;s Lost Dogs&quot; since 1995

God&#039;s Dogs Rescue

God’s Dogs Rescue, a San Antonio-area pet rescue, is asking for more temporary pet fosters to help care for some of the 600 adult dogs and puppies in its care as frigid temperatures are expected to hit the region over Christmas weekend. (Courtesy God’s Dog Rescue)

San Antonio-area animal shelters need more pet fosters during holidays (Community Impact)

We're working to restore access to our available animals as quickly as possible

We strive to provide a safe place for homeless, neglected, abandoned kittens, late term pregnant moms and mom cats with kittens. All of our GDR kitties are given age appropriate vaccines, dewormer and are spayed/neutered and forever homes are found for each.

Welcome to God’s Dogs Plus Kitties.

When you adopt a cat or kitten that saves two lives!! ADOPT&#8230;. DON&#8217;T SHOP!!! THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!

Cats/kittens in shelters across the US have outnumbered dogs for the first time in 20 years.

If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
&nbsp;
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.

Puppies don't train themselves

This is going to happen every time and incredibly fast. Please, the next time you have the thought, “I want a puppy!” replace the word “PUPPY” with “DOG.”
&nbsp;
If your excitement goes down, even the slightest amount, don’t get a puppy.
&nbsp;
The average lifespan for a dog is 12 years. The wondrous smell of puppy breath only last a few months. This means you have waaay more time owning a dog than a puppy. We frequently have puppies returned to us for a variety of reasons. Often this results in an extremely adoptable 8 week old puppy being returned a few months later as an 8 month old train-wreck.
&nbsp;
And… if you just ‘honest to God’ love puppies and wish they never turned into dogs, we have a great option for you – you can foster puppies! You get to help a life in need, get all the fun that comes along with puppies, and never have to have a dog! WIN, WIN!!! Please visit our fostering page for more information.
