Denison Animal Welfare Group

Welcome to the Denison Animal Welfare Group (DAWG)! We are a dedicated, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2014, operating with a team of passionate volunteers committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing pets in need across Denison, Texas. Our mission is clear: to establish a successful adoption program for the abused, neglected, abandoned, or unwanted animals in our community. One of our core values is to eliminate the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals. We strive to create a network of partners and businesses that will support our efforts, ensuring that animal welfare is prioritized throughout the city of Denison. At DAWG, we understand the importance of veterinary care and are dedicated to raising the necessary funds to cover associated costs, contributing to the well-being and recovery of each animal we rescue. Our successes are reflected in our impressive 99% live release rate achieved within the first three years of operation, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers who make a difference every day. We invite you to explore our adoption policy and consider adopting a new best friend from our shelter located at 3307 S. Eisenhower Pkwy, Denison, Texas. While our facility is not staffed throughout the day, we welcome visitors during specific hours and regularly host mobile adoption events at local Petsmart locations. Together, we can create a brighter future for the animals of Denison. Your support matters! Whether through adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating, there are many ways to get involved and make a positive impact. Join us in our ongoing mission to promote animal welfare and save lives. For more information, please contact us at (903) 361-4211, or visit us during our open hours: Mon - Sun 9 AM – 2 PM, 4 PM – 6 PM. We look forward to hearing from you!
