Our Mission

Our mission is to save as many dogs off the streets as well as dogs on euthanasia lists at shelters across Texas. We spay and neuter all dogs in hopes of reducing the number of unwanted dogs in our state. Our goal is to find them homes full of love and compassion.

431 Furever Homes in 2024

WUWF is proud to announce that 431 dogs found their forever homes in 2024! This milestone is a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved.
Here's to even more happy tails in the future!

Update… 12-27 we got him and he is safe! Please help with donations. Pics in thread below.

UPDATE… We are on our way out to get the dog! He has been spotted!

Update… we are waiting for update from the lady who asked for help for this pup. Will update as soon as we get an one from her.

We received a text message asking for help with a dog that has part of his faced ripped off one side and a possible broken back leg. I don’t know how long the dog has been living like this, but he is extremely sweet and good with other dogs.

Please pledge! We are working on trying to find a solution for this poor dog. Apparently two dogs were
attacking him. They bully him.

Praying everyone, and every pup, had a very merry Christmas 🎄 🐾.

We hope that yesterday’s celebrations brought joy to all your loved ones and warmth to your homes, with plenty of wagging tails to brighten your days.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to WUWF Rescue this holiday season and throughout the year. Your generosity made a real difference in the lives of the dogs we serve.

To our four-legged members: may your days have been filled with treats, cuddles, and fun adventures.
To our donors and volunteers: your kindness and time sustain our mission and our rescue family.

Wishing you all a safe, peaceful, and hopeful post-holiday season. Thank you for standing with us and for helping us care for so many pups in need.

With gratitude,
WUWF Rescue 🐶❤️🎁

UPDATE… the lady who reached out is saying she hasnt seen the puppies since Tuesday. She is checking with the neighbors.

Still on the streets. This mom and puppies were dumped. We are trying to help the lady that has them in her front yard. Can anyone foster a puppy?!! She doesn’t want the city to pick them up. A neighbor already called animal control! Houston, Tx.ki

WUWF is in need of d

WUWF is in need of donations, as adoptions have slowed tremendously due to the changes on Petfinder!

We still have over 200 dogs and some still need to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. We just took in two moms and their litters. These were dogs we were working on prior to the changes on Petfinder. We also took in some dogs that were trapped.

We are still trying to help people find solutions for dogs that they are finding on the streets. But taking to a shelter now is worse than ever.

Please help us continue to save lives! Petfinder is claiming they will have a solution to this problem in January. We are trying hard to make it through this tough time! Thank you everyone who have donated and continue to support WUWF and the work we do!!
