🎊Happy National Nonprofit Day 🎊
🐾🐾🐾August 17, 2025🐾🐾🐾

We have pulled many similar words from a post that another rescue we look up to highly is going through some of the same challenges we are and thought what better day to share.

Over nearly three years of operating as a Nonprofit Organization we have taken in so many animals with no pledges, foster commitment or guaranteed backing!

Why?
Because

We have saved severely sick or injured animals that we can’t afford the cost for their care!

Why?
Because

We have saved hundreds of animals and not once decided to choose to help because of breed, size or aggression!

Why?
Because

We have fostered hundreds of animals in our home, always taken a foster doggie back no questions asked!

Why?
Because

We are fully committed and sometimes fosters become overwhelmed, the pet isn’t working out in the home or with the family and it’s our responsibility to do what’s right for the family and the pets involved even if it puts us in a position to be more than we can handle!

Maybe that’s what defines a “good” rescue:
— Only taking in young, healthy animals with financial backing.
— Avoiding cases that don’t come with pledged support or foster commitment.
— Rescuing only fully vaccinated, highly adoptable dogs with a quick turnaround and higher adoption fees.

We take in a lot of the ones no one else will, the ones that would only be given hours to days to decompress and more than likely euthanized. Even when we know they may stay with us for months to years and some may never get adopted!

Even when they come with no funding, no pledges, and no clear plan — just urgent need.

And that’s why we have vet bills unpaid. And no way to simply pay them off in one day.

We’re not asking for miracles.
We’re asking for understanding — and for support. Because we don’t know how to become the kind of “perfect” rescue that never struggles financially.

At the moment, we have over 20 doggies (actually 32 🤷🏻‍♀️) and 17 cats we are fostering and so many others with foster families within a 90 mile radius of Victoria County — all either rescued from the streets, abandoned by a rescue, severely injured, neglect/abuse cases, mommas with litters of puppies, owner surrenders with no vetting, hoarding cases or pulled from shelters at the last possible moment.

We’re doing everything we can: feeding, treating, vaccinating, sterilizing, and working tirelessly to find homes.

But our veterinary bills — the many that come from critical, life-or-death situations — are threatening our ability to continue.

We urgently need help to pay them off. Paws4Christ is in a legal situation because we said yes to so many animals without a blink! All the calls, emails, text, clinics constantly giving out our numbers to help and more pleas daily begging for help, threatening to kill an innocent animal if we didn’t take them, some of the stories are wild and so many of those babies we helped and others we always work hard to find a solution, guide them, supply food and supplies while we continue reaching out for help when we can’t intake them and many have been assisted through amazing rescue partners and friends that also come at a cost 90% of the time depending on what is required before a transfer or transport.

If we don’t receive support, we will still do everything in our power to repay the clinics over time. But that limits what we can do to help. We’ll have to turn away those in urgent need, so many lives that can be saved, may not make it. Even with our intake being closed over three weeks now, we still have managed by the Grace of God to help 42 doggies and a kitten as of today. Yes, several went to our fosters, one to a medical foster, one a stray in Victoria with our foster, and another owner surrender that will go to a rescue partner when they return from an out of state event. Had we said no, would they still be here? We would hope so but the reality is that more than half of them would have been euthanized and we could not let that happen. We still continue to say YES knowing it’s a huge strain on us but it’s what we do, it’s what we love and it’s our mission.

Does that mean becoming a different kind of rescue?

One that says NO when there are no pledges.

One that prioritizes funding over NEED.

That’s the responsible model. The sustainable one. But it comes at a cost — a cost we’re struggling to accept. So many rescues are in the same position as Paws4Christ, we are not ashamed of it, we are not shaken by the outcome, we know our God is bigger than this and he will provide as he always has and he will continue to open doors. We have full faith in him and we are not giving up! Paws4Christ will NOT be closing our doors, we are slowing down but we are not done, we have so much more to do in this lifetime and with your continued support, prayers and love we can get through this, back on track and save more lives. Thank you all for your commitment, compassion and unconditional support to all the Nonprofits out there making a difference. God Bless you, have a great evening.

We are so excited to share that Fred is going to one of our medical fosters today. As you can see he has some serious skin conditions going on 💔 We can’t imagine the pain and stress he is under but we are so grateful for this sweet foster family stepping in to help us get him sooner than expected. We believe his skiddish behavior is associated with his medical concerns and hope to get him well soon and fully recovered so he can find his furever fam. He will need to go to the vet this coming week but we have seemed to pull together most of what’s needed to get him going in the right direction. Please send out lots of prayers for healing and happiness for this little guy as well as a smooth transition into his foster home. We greatly appreciate any support towards his care and needs. Have a wonderful and Blessed Sunday 💖🐾

We can’t wait to see and share his progress 🙏🏻

Meet Freedom, Rescued on The Fourth of July 🇺🇸

She is a lovely young lady roughly a year old; stunningly beautiful, goofy, and full of joy. This sweetheart is a lab mix and has a big personality that is sure to make a great companion. She's a happy-go-lucky gal always smiling but occasionally giving that mischievous look in a playful fashion. Freedom is a little curious about cats, but there is no doubt she adores her time with other doggos. She is reluctant at first meeting new furry friends but within minutes she is all about it. She loves to play but enjoys being a couch potato too. With her gentle spirit she is great with children and would be the perfect addition to any family. She loves people, and her affectionate nature means she's always up for cuddle time, an adventure or walk in the park. We call her wiggy, because she pounces and dances around with the wiggle butts; it’s actually the cutest thing. She still has puppy energy in her, so having a big yard for outside potty and play time is a must. Keeping the chew toys and peanut butter bars handy are also important for healthy chewing habits while learning how to use her teefs in a positive manner. Considering Freedom has been a stray more than likely since a small pup; her being house trained with zero accidents is amazing and would make transitioning into her new home that much better. If you're looking for a loving, loyal companion, look no further than Freedom!

We have received a few applications and we are still accepting them to be sure we find the absolute right fit for Freedom and the family. We would like to remind families that we adopt our rescues out as family pets that primarily live indoors. Being left outside, unattended for any amount of time is not okay. We understand not everyone is home all day but we can’t approve a family to adopt with us believing it’s okay to let them stay outside all day while your at work. It’s unsafe, unfair and not what aligns with our adoption approvals. We understand everyone has different views and that’s okay for you but not with us. Please share so we can help Freedom find her forever family 💖🐾

🐾 What you see is not a simple image, it is the mind of those we truly love

🐾It's the mind of someone who no longer thinks like the rest. It's the portrait of a conscience inhabited by lives that others prefer to ignore.

🐾 No ideas floating around in there.
There are lost glances, Broken legs,
Screams that were never heard.
Souls that were discarded like they didn't matter. It's the constant echo of all the "I'll help him tomorrow" that never showed up.

🐾Every abandoned, abused or run over furry friend lives there. Not as I recall, but as a wound. As a presence that breathes into the deepest part of your being.

🐾👣 She walks, she smiles sometimes, she answers when she can..but inside she carries an army of broken lives calling for justice, love, or redemption. It's not sadness. It's a load.
It's a commitment. It's that heavy blessing to see what others don't want to see.

🐾Many call her exaggerated, intense, sensitive...But few could endure a single day in their minds without breaking.

For in that silence in which you seem absent,
she is in there, accompanying the one who got kicked, caressing him who died without a name, praying for the one who still waits at the corner without understanding why they left him.

And while the world sleeps in its bubble,
she can't turn her mind off. Because when the heart is full of them...there's no coming back. 🐾🐾🙏🏻

This hit so deep not to share, we are always praying for our rescue friends, shelters, fosters, volunteers, veterinarians and all our friends. Not many understand what we go through daily to save lives. 💔😭🐾🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️🙏🏻 Even with our intake temporarily closed, we have helped save over 30 animals in just two weeks. The time, energy, sacrifices and costs are unimaginable. But God 🙌

If you're thinking of getting into animal rescue, here's something you need to know: you need to build armor, not just for the hard work, but for the people.

You’ll need more than compassion. You’ll need resilience. You’ll need to remind yourself daily why you started, because the world will test you.

People will cheer you on when you post a happy rescue story. But when you say no, because your rescue is full, your funds are low, or your volunteer team is exhausted, those same voices will criticize you.

They’ll forget the hundreds of animals you saved and focus on the one you couldn’t take. Don’t let it change your heart.

Some people will praise your care, your process, your kindness, until they want to surrender a pet, and you ask questions or try to help them work through it. Suddenly, you’re the worst person for them.

That’s part of the job.

You’ll lose relationships. Some friends won’t understand why you fight for animal rights. Others will be cold to you when you’re being too dramatic for them after spending the night with a dying rescue. Let them go.

People will call you every hour, message you at 2am, expect you to be available around the clock. And when you finally pause to breathe, they’ll say you’re fake, you don’t care. It’ll sting, but keep breathing anyway.

Other rescuers will criticize how you operate, even if they’ve never set foot in your rescue. Some will help. Others will just talk. Focus on the work, not the noise.

You’ll see things you can’t unsee. You’ll witness cruelty. The silent rescues you can’t share for help that drain you. And sometimes, no matter how fast you get there or how much you spend, you’ll still lose the animal. Those are the nights you’ll sit and cry alone, and no one knows that.

But even in that pain, you’ll keep going. Because despite all of it, the judgment, the burnout, the loss, the work matters. Every life saved is a reason to continue.

Rescue is beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgiving. But if you’re in it for the right reasons, you’ll find strength in the heartbreak and purpose in the pain. Just don’t lose yourself in the process.

Felt like this was much needed right now. For my family, friends, my partners and all my rescue friends struggling and for everyone who wonders why I don’t always respond, why I dont answer your calls, why I forget things, why I miss or cancel appointments…..it’s because of this 🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️

Senior citizen Henry “Hinny Honey” will soon be coming up on his 2 year anniversary with only one application interest. How is this 💔 Why doesn’t anyone see the wonderful in him like we do! He spent months at Cuero Animal Control, was adopted and returned facing euthanasia! That’s over 2 years without the love of his own family for this old man. Every couple of months we see more grey hairs!!! He is aging and we can’t control that but we do our best to try to make him forget and treat him to extra special days! A cheeseburger, cuddles on the couch with his favorite show “Veggietales” and lots of belly rubs 🐾

Does he shed? Yes, absolutely because of his breed, age and the fact that he is stressed out often with so many foster siblings coming in and out. This old fellow wants a nice, quiet home and truly prefers the fur-ladies over males.

He occasionally fools us into believing he works for a construction crew 🚧 showing up with his bulldozer excitement. It’s actually quite cute and it’s only when he is so happy to see us.

Hinny Honey is full of Love, loyalty, the gift of companionship, and a provider of endless laughter because this guy is a ham! These are the qualities that matter ❤️

Although we enjoy our Hinny Honey so much; he is loved & spoiled beyond measure, happy & content! Well that doesn’t mean he does not want his own home and family.

We know it’s a long shot to find this guy his retirement home, but someone out there could be Henrys hero! We just need help finding that family! Please share and help spread the word. Hinny Honey would be SO thankful! 🍯🐾

A letter from Henry “Hinny Honey” 🐾🐾🐾

Hi there, My name is Henry but they call me Hinny Honey because I am as sweet as can be. I may be a senior but I’m truly a gentleman who is affectionate and friendly. My old soul is quiet and calm, but I still have a playful side and a great sense of humor. I am protective of my loved ones and like to take it slow, enjoying naps on the couch or laying out in the sun. I’ve been known to be a true ladies' man who prefers the company of female fur-kids. As I have gotten up there in my age, I’ve grown to be an independent soul who is also well-behaved and would fit into most households. I get along with other doggies and would love to have my own family to snuggle up with. If you're looking for a goofy, cuddly, and adorable elderly guy, just ask for Hinny Honey! I have been waiting here well over a year, and everyone continues to overlook me sadly. I promise I am such a good boy. It breaks my heart to watch so many come in and leave. I know they must be so happy to have been chosen. I’m just aging here, patiently waiting for you to come bring me home. After all I have been through and over come, I deserve this. If you’re interested in meeting me, please apply below and message Paws4Christ. I hope to see you soon! God Bless 🐾

Update: All are safe!!! God is so good 🫶 Thank you to my precious husband for helping with these transports and having such a wonderful heart 💝 This man is amazing 🥲

It’s $2 Tuesday and we need some help today with three different transports!!! 15 doggies safe, 3 separate trips…9 hours of driving!!! This is a lot for us to handle in one day with all we have, work, our children’s athletics practices, meetings, doctor appointments and we really need some help with fuel donations. If anyone at all can volunteer to drive a momma and six pups up to Leander, Texas we would really appreciate the help. Thank you Gary Shrader for picking up Bear in Bloomington and getting him to the vet for us today, bringing him to our home this evening and….for driving Bear to his foster family in Aransas Pass tomorrow 🙏🏻 This is all so time consuming and has been a shuffle of many transports, “9 safe over the weekend” vet appointments the past few days we are exhausted but 25 lives have been saved and we can’t thank everyone enough for be patient with us and assisting with these babies. We are still working on some of the others but have not gotten a plan yet 😰 We will update as we know more. Thank you all for your messages, prayers and support. We can’t do this alone, we do appreciate you all more than you know. Have a Blessed Tuesday 🙏🏻🐾🫶

Miss Bella was adopted a month ago 🎉 She has been waiting over a year to find her forever family.

She was found by a homeless lady in Victoria back in 2023 and taken to VCAS where she was told they would have to euthanize because they didnt have space at that time. The lady agreed to foster her through VCAS and after three days she decided to adopt her. They eventually found a temporary home in the cabins out of Bloomington, Texas where she had other much larger doggies that attacked Bella constantly leading to her having to be crated often. After a few months, that lady reached out asking us to help rehome Bella because VCAS could not take her back. She brought her to an adoption event and she was so skittish, thin and had wounds all over her. I actually asked the lady where Bella was, and she said this is her. I couldn’t believe my eyes from the shape she was in, it didn’t look like the same doggie I had seen months before. We had several fosters there and we knew that day after seeing her conditions she was going home with one of us. Thankfully, Bella got to go home with her foster family that day where they worked with her to gain her confidence back and trust that she was safe and had a bright future ahead of her. Bella has spent over a year, not receiving any interest up until mid June, we received three applications of amazing potential adopters but we knew this was Bella‘s family and she is doing amazing. She gets to go on trips with her family out to the beach or rides around town and always enjoys going. As you can see she is a big couch potato and loves cuddling up with her new brother. She has more freedom now than ever and is loved so well. We can’t thank this family enough for giving her a chance to live a full and happy life. We love getting pictures, videos and updates. It floods our eyes with joy seeing how wonderful she is doing and we can’t wait to watch her grow through her life. God Bless Bella and her new fam 🙏🏻💖🐾🫶🐶

🚨🚨🚨Please message us if you can help transport 6 doggies from Victoria, Texas to Leander, Texas this tuesday or Wednesday 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Also needing help getting a pup to a foster in Aransas Pass 🐾🙏🏻

UPDATE: We need to get Velma and her five pups in for HW testing today at Main Street Animal Hospital, each test is $48. They are over six months and it’s needed to get them approved for us to transport up to a rescue partner in Texas.

Lulu and her six puppies will need health certificates to fly out to a rescue partner in Missouri with the possibly of Rocky, Ginger and Fred as well. Not sure the cost yet, getting estimates today and reaching out to pilots 🙏🏻

‼️ Daphne and her three puppies are safe and will be going to a rescue partner 🙏🏻🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️🫶🐾

‼️Macy and her three puppies are safe and will be going to a rescue partner 🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️💖

‼️Cyrus is safe going to a rescue partner 🐾

PLEASE SHARE SO WE CAN HELP THESE BABIES SAFE!!!

👉👉👉 26 lives in need of help!!! With our intake being closed we can only offer doggie food and we have reached out to several rescue partners & friends to see if they have space in Texas. Some do and others we will know more next week. There is a total of 15 adult doggies, 11 puppies just 2-3 weeks old from two different mommas. Some of our rescue partners require a Heartworm tests on the adult doggies and/or vaccines before transporting to them and we do not have the funds to cover this. This is quite a large amount of pups. None of them have any vetting! These are elderly families that have fallen on their health and are unable to care or provide what is needed. The other families can no longer keep or afford to provide what’s needed as well. If you are a reputable rescue that can help with any of these kiddos, please reach out to us asap. We don’t have all the pictures yet to post the others but will add them as soon as we do. If you can help cover funding for what’s required for them, doggie food and fuel for transport, please we appreciate any assistance with them and praying we can help get them safe. Here are our donation links if you can help with anything needed for these kiddos🐾
