About Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue
Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue is a 100% volunteer-run, foster-based 501(c)(3) that saves dogs from high-kill shelters in Texas and Mexico. Every dog in our program lives in a loving foster home — not a kennel — while they wait for their forever family. Our fosters give us a real picture of each dog’s personality, energy level, and the home that will suit them best. We coordinate transport runs to cities across the eastern United States and Texas.
