Who We Are

Founded in February 2016 as a no kill animal rescue, Dora’s Dawgs & Katz has rescued, rehabilitated, and found loving homes for more than 3,000 dogs and cats in need. While that number is meaningful to us, our true focus is on the care and quality of life of each individual animal rather than high volume adoption numbers. Our robust adoption program is designed to find the absolute best home for every animal, not just any home, which has resulted in some of the lowest return rates in the industry. In 2024 alone, we successfully placed 162 dogs and 104 cats into permanent homes. We rescue dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and health conditions, making us one of the most diverse rescue organizations in Texas. We are proud of everything we have accomplished and excited for what lies ahead. None of this is possible without the support of people like you.

Volunteer Form

At Dora’s Dawgs & Katz, we welcome volunteers from all backgrounds who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of rescued animals. Our team relies on dedicated individuals to help with a variety of tasks, including dog walking, kennel cleaning, yard sitting (spending time with dogs in outdoor pens), cat room cleaning, laundry, dishes, and general care. Volunteers can also assist with adoption events. Whether you’re looking to fulfill community service hours, gain hands-on experience, or simply give back, we offer flexible scheduling and a supportive environment where every helping hand matters. No experience is required—just a love for animals and a willingness to help. Join us and become a part of a compassionate community working to give every dog and cat the second chance they deserve.

Volunteer Age Requirement Disclaimer

All volunteers for Dora’s Dawgs & Katz must be 18 years of age or older to participate in on-site activities.
