We are a 501c3 non profit organization working in Waco, Texas and the surrounding areas. Our efforts are divided between TNR and rescue because both are equally important to us.

TNR helps maintain the community cat population while providing healthier and safer lives for the cats. By fixing community cats, the number of unwanted kittens needing to be rescued decreases. Which helps us and the community as a whole.

However, we cannot fix them all and kittens are still needing our help. We accept kittens without mom, kittens with mom, and adult cats that are sick or injured. We fully vet each one from intake to adoption and while it is hard to say goodbye, we know they will thrive with their forever family. Being a rescue is challenging, but we believe it is our duty to help provide animals with everything they need.

About the Breed

Generally considered dogkind's finest all-purpose worker, the German Shepherd Dog is a large, agile, muscular dog of noble character and high intelligence. Loyal, confident, courageous, and steady, the German Shepherd is truly a dog lover's delight. German Shepherd Dogs can stand as high as 26 inches at the shoulder and, when viewed in outline, presents a picture of smooth, graceful curves rather than angles. The natural gait is a free-and-easy trot, but they can turn it up a notch or two and reach great speeds. There are many reasons why German Shepherds stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherds will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a 'certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.'
