Saving Lives,One Petite Paw at a Time.

Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue is a home-based, non-profit rescue organization made up soley of volunteers.

We are dedicated to helping homeless Maltese and other small dog breeds in the Austin area by fostering, providing the best possible health care, and placing them in loving forever homes.

The APSCA estimates 3.1 million dogs enter Animal Shelters in the United States every year. Texas bears responsibility for a majority of that number.

With your help, Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue does its best to rescue, rehab, and find loving forever homes for the small ones.

Joys of Fostering

Becoming a foster home is one of the most amazing ways to contribute to rescue. We talk often about the importance of foster homes for our organization - we have no facility; all our rescued dogs must stay in homes; but its also important to remember how much joy fostering can bring into your life!

Of course, dogs who come to us from good homes still need families while they search for a new forever home. Either way, there is nothing that matches the feeling of saving a dogs life and then sending him or her off into a wonderful forever home! Plus, the presence of social networks like Facebook help you stay in touch with your foster dog's family long after they leave your home.

We are always looking for foster homes. We are also currently looking for "forever fosters" for some of our senior dogs; this is a great option if you want to adopt but are concerned about the annual costs of medical care for a pet. Please contact us to learn more about fostering, or fill out our foster application form.
