We're a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue. No shelter and no paid staff: every dog we save lives in someone's home. We started in Brownsville, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, where there are far more dogs than families to take them. We pull dogs off the street and out of the shelter, get them vetted, spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and then we find them their people. Over 95% of our adoptions are out of state, with USDA-approved transport every other week to the East Coast, the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest. In 2026 so far we've taken in 171 dogs, placed 126 in loving homes and sponsored 39 low-cost spay/neuter surgeries. And we're growing! We're so excited to now have two foster locations, Brownsville, Texas and St. Mary's County, Maryland, which means we can help even more animals. 🐾

Where it all began. Our Texas fosters are the first soft place a dog lands after the street or the shelter, while they heal and get ready for the road.

Our newest foster base, in southern Maryland! Two foster locations means more dogs we can say yes to, and we couldn't be more excited.

Founder & President (a.k.a. Chief Chaos Coordinator). Runs intake, finances and the whole operation. If a dog came into Sanctuary Park, Megan said yes to them first!

Foster & Medical Coordinator and Texas Operations Lead (a.k.a. Keeper of the Meds). Matches every dog to the right foster home and keeps South Texas running.

Behavioral Specialist and Assistant Medical & Foster Coordinator (a.k.a. The Dog Whisperer). Works with the dogs who need a little extra patience, and backs up medical and fostering.

Veterinary & Transport Coordinator (a.k.a. Keeper of the Van). Assists with transport and vet coordination, helping get every dog vetted, cleared and safely on their way!

Events Coordinator (a.k.a. Head of Good Times). Plans and runs our fundraising events, the ones that keep the lights on and the dogs fed!
