rescue from the founder?s son and active service member, Keeton Tucker. After hearing about the organization's humble beginnings and true grit in protecting the animals and supporting its community the TXDM team decided to share the Sweetpups message. This family-run 501(3)(c) rescue organization located in Vidor, Texas was founded in May 2009, celebrating 10 years this past summer. The founder, Glenna Tucker, finally expanded her operation this past August, according to Keeton. Glenna has transported dogs across the country to get them to their forever homes out of the cargo van that was a 45th-anniversary gift from her husband Robert. ?Realizing we needed to do more than just rescue the dogs, we started to reach out into the community in other ways, helping pet owners understand the need to get their pet spayed or neutered and offering as much support as possible toward that end,? the website reads. The organization also stresses routine pet care such as heartworm prevention not only for pets under their care but the pets in the community. 8 | TEXASDOGMAGAZINE.COM
