Tess’ K9 Rescue is a privately funded non-profit rescue that tries to save dogs from certain death in high kill pounds. Most of our animals come from some of the small towns surrounding San Antonio that rarely get help in saving the poor homeless dogs and cats that have been impounded there as well as S.A.
Tess’K9 Rescue not a shelter which opens and closes so we do not have visiting hours.
We are a rescue, which consists of private foster homes that care for these dogs.
Our staff consists of friends and family, all volunteers who receive no form of payment.
All rescued puppies and dogs are vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed/neutered
(if old enough), and microchipped.
They are socialized with other dogs and handled by our volunteers.

When you adopt a rescued dog you help save two lives, the one you adopted and the next one you just made room for in the rescue.
Our wonderful, loving puppies and dogs need permanent homes and families. They crave a sense of belonging somewhere and need the security of knowing they will never have to be homeless and hungry again.

Please help us make a difference by
"Saving lives one dog at a time".

Additional adoption info

You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt a pet from us. We do not make appointments to meet with anyone prior to the completion of an application. The reason for this is simple: If our basic requirements for adoption are not met, there is no point in meeting the pet. Our adoptive process
is the best way we have of making the best possible match of pet to person. When you find a pet you are interested in please contact us at: Tessk9rescue@yahoo.com or fill out the application on line with this linkhttps://form.jotform.com/81477238784167 After verification of the information on the application, we can get the puppy or dog ready for transport. We will provide the new adoptive family with the dog's adoption certificate, health records/shot records including rabies certificate(if old enough), spay/neuter records (if completed), microchipping as well as other necessary forms. Adoption fees are due before we can book the transport. We really enjoy getting emails with pics and updates about our adopted pups. We love to hear how they are doing in their new homes. Again, our goal is to find good, permanent, responsible, loving homes for these puppies and dogs while providing wonderful companions to those who seek them. Although our adoptive process may sound like "jumping through hoops" to some people, many rescued dogs have been bounced around for much of their lives, prior to being rescued. It is our utmost goal to ensure that a pet's adoptive family will be truly be his or her "forever" home and, our process is designed to ensure this, by trying to make the best possible match of pet to person. We are looking for forever homes for our pets where they will be a loved member of the family, living inside with their family, not relegated to a backyard. All fees and donations are applied directly to the care of the dogs in the Rescue. Our staff are all volunteers and receive no form of payment. As previously stated, we do not receive any outside funding and rely strictly on our own finances and the generosity of caring people. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your interest and for considering adopting a rescued animal. "When you adopt a rescued dog you help save two lives, the one you adopted and the next one you just made room for in the rescue. When considering adopting a rescued animal, you have taken the first step in adopting a lifelong companion. These wonderful, loving puppies and dogs need permanent homes and families. They desire the confidence that comes from having someone love them and someone to call their own. They crave a sense of belonging somewhere and need the security of knowing they will never have to be homeless and hungry again. We appreciate your help with saving these lives in whatever way you can. We would like to thank you for supporting us in our endeavor to make a difference by "Saving lives one dog at a time".

About Tess' K9 Rescue

We are a Home-based Rescue that is privately funded. We rely on adoption fees and donations from kindhearted and generous people. We originated in TX but we adopt to people all over the United States as well. If you would consider adopting a dog from Transport then please email us. We transport dogs to the New England area once a month. We do this because we love animals and we realize there is a great need for assistance for abandoned, neglected, abused and otherwise unwanted animals. 90% of our dogs come from animal control facilities where they would have otherwise been euthanized. We believe that as human beings, we have a responsibility to care for the living things around us. Our rescued puppies and dogs are vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed/neutered (if old enough), and microchipped. They are socialized with other dogs and handled regularly. A RESCUE DOG WILL BOND WITH THEIR NEW FAMILY. Most dogs seem to know when they've been 'saved' and have a desire to work with the new people in their lives. Some dogs need no time at all to bond and some will take a little longer but all need love, patience and attention. What you will get in return is a loving and loyal companion. We do not have a facility which is open to the public for the viewing of our dogs. We are a rescue which consists of private residence foster homes that care for these dogs. We have full time jobs and families so your patience is always appreciated. We will work your application as quickly as possible and do check our email daily. Our facebook page is viewable to any state however this site we choose to focus on North East region otherwise our pups would not have as many opportunities to find homes.

Tess' K9 Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Freehold, NJ.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
