County Roads Rescue

Our mission is to assist East Texas, with a focus on Cherokee County, with the rescue,rehabilitation and placement of the hundreds of forgotten and abandoned strays that roam the area. We also assist local shelters by relieving them when their kennels are too full, either by rescue through our program or assistance in networking, and organizing rescue through other Programs. We educate the public and provide assistance where it is needed within Cherokee County to benefit the lives of companion animals.

County Roads Rescue is the largest rescue serving Cherokee County Texas. We rescue on average 150 animals a year from the East Texas area with about 80% of our rescues coming from the streets of Cherokee County specifically. Our area has very few resources for the thousands of abandoned and stray animals and we are constantly battling the need to make more space. The animals from this area tend to be severe medical cases which makes each rescue expensive. We also try to focus on community outreach, helping people with their pets, providing resources for underserved areas.
