The Gonzales, Texas animal shelter needs help! The Board of Directors has issued an urgent plea for help. As you can see from the map below, Gonzales is a Texas community that is not surrounded by a lot of rescues; it’s a more rural area of our state. They are almost 1.5 hours from San Antonio and Austin, almost 2.5 hours from Houston, and almost 5 hours from Dallas. They need the help from the Pawsitively Texas community to get the word out and save these animals! Please share!
Our shelter’s maximum capacity is up to 80 dogs. Our average monthly intake has been 30-40. With all adoptions and transfering some of them to other rescue groups, we have been moving pretty much the same number of dogs out of our shelter monthly, and we have been surviving somehow. However last month, 73 dogs were picked up by Animal Control, and all were brought to our shelter. After this extremely high intake, we now have 126 dogs at our small shelter.

Thanks Sharon; I found one page but upon closer inspection, it was not for this shelter. I messaged them if they had a page, but have not yet heard from them. Glad to have the link!
