Sanctuary

Dog Lodge is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) organization.  We started Dog Lodge with a heartfelt mission – to help unwanted senior and special needs dogs by providing a permanent home and the very best quality of life possible for whatever time they had left.  A decade later, and I can honestly say that we have been able to achieve our goals for our residents.  But it hasn’t ended there.  We have taken significant steps towards meaningful community outreach including a high school student volunteer program and podcast programs, our own and as a guest on other podcasts.  We also liaison between the staggering number of people who are trying to rehome a dog and other rescue organizations.  We are amazed at how far we have come and how many lives we have touched.

However, the emotional investment connected to the work that we do is significant. The frustration that we face every day is that we can’t possibly take in all the senior dogs that we are asked to save. We only have so much physical space and overcrowding would prevent us from carrying out our mission. It is a difficult reality to deal with. There is nothing harder, more heart wrenching, than telling someone that we cannot help a dog.

WE HAVE HAD TO CLOSE OUR INTAKE.  AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT MAY OPEN AGAIN.

We will continue to share our resources with those who need assistance in finding a new home for their dog(s).  If you need help, please contact us at:
