According to DoSomething.org, there are approximately 2.7 million cats and dogs killed annually because shelters cannot handle the influx of strays, and there aren’t too many homes willing or able to adopt the animals. To help do their part in keeping these numbers down, the people behind Rainbow Bridge Animal Rescue in The Woodlands, Texas, have dedicated their time and resources to keeping strays off the streets.
Though officially launched in 2015, Rainbow Bridge Animal Rescue has been around in some form for nearly than 20 years now, initially as one of Petroleum Wholesale’s philanthropic causes. Before the formation of Rainbow Bridge Animal Rescue, the fuel company provided funding for a private animal rescue and adoption service but now with the establishment of the not-for-profit organization and the acquisition of a 10-acre property in Conroe, Texas, the company is now looking to extend its rescue efforts.
Rainbow Bridge Animal Rescue aims to be a state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility and temporary housing for abandoned, abused, and neglected animals where Rainbow Bridge’s employees and can care for them while helping these critters look for their true forever homes.
In addition to the property in Conroe, Rainbow Bridge Animal Rescue is also developing 300-acres of land in Leon County, Texas, which will serve as a place where larger rescued animals can find sanctuary and respite.

Potential dog parents may look through the nonprofit’s official website to find the perfect little buddy to adopt from all the sizes and breeds in the facility from shepherd mixes to border collies to hound dogs.
Rainbow Bridge also maintains a Facebook page where they post updates on rescued and rehabilitated animals so interested humans can find their newest furry best friends.

Very inspiring . All animals deserve to be treated well.
ReplyDeleteInstead of buying, why not adopt a pet? It will not only save the life of the pet but will also make room for another animal that the shelter will take in.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I have the same thoughts. Adopting from a shelter is an act of rescue and love.
DeleteDo they accept donations? I want to help.
ReplyDeleteI am a dog lover and I don't understand why some people abandoned, abused, and neglected these innocent creatures.
