Mission:
Sauver Des Chiens is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization based in Texas. Our passion and mission is to rescue neglected, unwanted, and abused German Shepherd and Large Paw Dogs with the goal of finding them a new permanent and loving home. All dogs will receive full veterinary care, including spay/neuter, positive training and necessary behavior modification before they are ready to adopt. We also plan to focus on Service/Companion Dog candidates as well as outreach to senior citizens and people with serious illness or disability to help them keep their pets by providing food and transportation for vet care.
