Recycled Canines Dalmatian Rescue is officially an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are dedicated to saving the lives of the many homeless Dalmatians around Houston, Texas. However, we usually have a few canines without spots as well. Our mission is to take dogs from shelters, as strays, or from owners that can no longer care for them and provide them with indoor shelter, high quality food, water, microchipping, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, training, exercise, socialization, and lots of TLC. Once we deem the dog ready for a new home, we seek permanent homes for them with people that have filled out an application and have been screened for eligibility. RCDR has many advantages to offer over some other rescues. Our dogs are NOT kept in kennels. They live in our foster homes, they get basic obedience, good dog food, and they are well adjusted family members with house manners. We limit our numbers so that we can get to know the personalities of the dogs in our program. We use this to match a dog to the right family. How do we do this? We foster dogs in our homes, not in kennels, so the dogs learn to be a part of a family.
Application - Please fill out the online Application to start the adoption process. Hitting the submit button will automatically e-mail us your application. Please allow at least a few days for us to contact you. Home Visit - Recycled Canines doesn't want to judge how clean your house is, or how much money you have. We just want to make sure that you've got the space for a dog as well as a securely fenced yard. This also gives us a chance to point out things you may want to be cautious about with a new family member. Vet Check / Personal Reference - This is used to verify that any current or past animals are/were properly cared for, including yearly vaccinations and heartworm preventative. If you don't have any other animals, please provide a personal reference - prefereably someone who already owns a dog. Adoption Contract - The adoption contract is used to make the adoption process final. Before adopting, please review our contract to make sure you agree with our policies. Adoption Donation - Please remember, you are not paying for the dog. You are helping to offset some of the costs associated with spaying and neutering; heartworm testing and preventative; basic vaccines and parasite control; and shelter fees where applicable. Also, there are many dogs that come to us with problems that have expensive veterinary bills, i.e. heartworm treatment, broken legs, mange. After adoption we are always available to assist and advise our adoptive families in every way we can. If for any reason an adoption does not work out, we want the animal back. The adoption donation is $150 for dog and puppy mixes, $200 for purebreds, and $250 for puppies of course anything more is always welcome!
