RED COLLAR RESCUE INC

About RED COLLAR RESCUE INC
RED COLLAR RESCUE (founded 2007) is a Houston-based, foster-home-centered animal rescue that focuses on animals in dire need—those abandoned in high‑kill shelters or found injured on the streets. The organization is volunteer-run and places rescued animals in foster homes while providing medical treatment, rehabilitation, training and adoption placement. The rescue operates without a brick-and-mortar shelter, relying on a network of foster families and partner listing platforms to rehome animals; the group reports spending substantial funds on veterinary care (commonly averaging $1,000 or more per dog for serious cases) and documents numerous cases involving emergency surgery and long-term rehabilitation. In recent years Red Collar Rescue has remained active and donor-facing: it maintains an official website and Petfinder/adoption listings, runs regular adoption events, received community grant support, and reported annual revenue and expense levels in the mid-to-high hundreds of thousands of dollars (annual Form 990 filings for recent years show the organization operating at that scale).
