**Help Us Build a Safe Haven for BSL Breeds and All Animals in Need**

Hi everyone,

We are Justice for Samson Animal Rescue ,a dedicated animal welfare rescue with a special focus on breeds affected by Breed-Specific Legislation (BSL). Our mission is to provide a safe and loving environment for all animals, regardless of their breed, while working tirelessly to reduce the stray dog population through education and advocacy.

As many of you know, BSL breeds such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans often face unjust discrimination and limited adoption opportunities. These loving and loyal dogs are frequently misunderstood, leading to overcrowded shelters and, tragically, euthanasia. Our goal is to change this narrative and give every dog a chance at a happy, healthy life.

**Why We Need Your Help**

Currently, our facilities are limited, and we are struggling to meet the growing demand for our services. We want to expand and create a state-of-the-art facility that can accommodate more animals and provide them with the care they deserve. Our vision includes:

1. **Spacious Kennels and Play Areas**: To ensure each dog has enough space to exercise and socialize, promoting their physical and mental well-being.

2. **Medical and Rehabilitation Center**: To offer on-site veterinary care, rehabilitation for injured animals, and a quarantine area for sick pets.

3. **Training and Enrichment Programs**: To help rehabilitate dogs with behavioral issues, making them more adoptable and better companions.

4. **Community Education and Outreach**: To educate the public on responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying/neutering, and dispelling myths about BSL breeds.

**How You Can Help**

We need to raise [$300,000.00] to make this dream a reality. Your generous donation will directly impact the lives of countless animals, giving them a second chance at life. Here’s how your contribution can help:

- $25 will provide food and basic supplies for one dog for a week.

- $50 will cover a veterinary check-up and vaccinations.

- $100 will sponsor a training session for a dog with behavioral issues.

- $500 will contribute to building new kennels and play areas.

- $1,000 will support the construction of our medical and rehabilitation center.

**Every Dollar Counts**

No donation is too small. Every dollar brings us closer to creating a sanctuary where all animals, especially those affected by BSL, can feel safe and loved. We also appreciate shares on social media, spreading the word about our cause to reach as many animal lovers as possible.

Thank you for your support and for believing in our mission. Together, we can build a brighter future for these deserving animals.

With gratitude,

We Did It! Phase One Complete!

 

Thanks to your incredible support, Phase One of our expansion is officially complete! We are thrilled to announce that we’ve moved into our new property, giving us three acres to build a 30-40 kennel shelter. This facility will include climate control, two play yards, and plenty of space to ensure our rescue dogs are safe, happy, and comfortable.

 

We’ve already fenced in the first acre, giving our current dogs room to run and play freely. This project cost us $3,000 out of pocket, which unfortunately left us short on funds for essential needs like dog food and vetting.

 

On top of that, we faced a major setback — our central AC unit went out during a brutal 103° heat wave. With temperatures soaring, replacing the unit became an urgent priority. The replacement cost is $8,500 — a necessity to keep our dogs safe and cool in the Texas heat.

 

Now, Phase Two is underway. We need to purchase 10-15 outdoor kennels to provide secure housing for the dogs. Each kennel costs $350 — the best price we could find. Additionally, we need vinyl sheets to cover the kennels for shade and protection, along with hog panels to prevent diggers from escaping. We estimate this phase will cost approximately $5,000.

 

We’ve come so far, but we can’t finish this without your help. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to building a safe, comfortable home for these deserving dogs.

 

Please consider contributing today. Together, we can make this dream a reality.

 

Puppy kisses and tail wags from all the dogs you help save...

Fantastic news!! I was pre-qualified for a small home on 3 acres! Today we a e signing the contracts. Please pray the final approval goes through. I have literally been holding my breath through this all. 

The dogs are worth it! And they deserve this and so much more.

We are heartbroken that we had to close our intake. We can not even keep up with food for our current dogs. It's very important we not open any new accounts or let bills fall behind during this process. I have been slowly building my credit. I am now at 605 from the 400s. 

The well at our current location is not working. Therefore we are having to buy water. That's 15 gallons a day. I've looked in to have a big container delivered. But they do not fill them with water for you. SMH

The Lord says this too shall pass. And it shall. Our new home has city water. 

Our most need is dog food. 

But we will now need funds for fences and outdoor kennels. I will try to buy or have a building donated. From past searches. I know it's less expensive to have the building and kennels built. But that means paying up front. 

Work with what you got. We are ready to begin saving lives again.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

 

We have some exciting news! After much searching and consideration, we’ve found a promising first step toward realizing our dream. We’re moving forward with the purchase of a home and land package that will give us 2.5 acres of fully fenced land, a brand new modular home, and a garage. While it’s not the full vision we aspire to, it’s a wonderful beginning! For now, the garage will serve as the dogs' temporary shelter, and we’ll install a window AC and heating system to keep them comfortable. Once our finances grow, we’ll start building an adoption center and a dedicated sanctuary for our animals.

 

We’ve spent months exploring owner-financed properties, but continually ran into challenges. The raw land we found often lacked essential utilities like septic systems, water, and power. With installation costs running into tens of thousands of dollars, we knew we needed a more practical solution. That’s why we chose this package deal, which comes with everything included—utilities, a concrete slab foundation, proper tie-downs, and skirting for the home. All we need now is the down payment of 1500.00. thousand dollars. We have a match for 5,000.00

I can already picture the joy of seeing our dogs running free on those 2.5 acres!

 

We understand that times are tough for everyone, but we are asking for your help. Your donations, no matter the amount, will make a huge difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing our story with friends and family is just as impactful. Every contribution, large or small, brings us closer to giving these deserving animals a place to call home.

Always keep in mind we are a 501c3 animal shelter. Receipt and EIN upon request. 

Thank you for your continued support and belief in our mission. Together, we can create a safe and loving sanctuary for animals in need.

Moe’s story is one of both heartbreak and resilience, a journey that began on the streets of Houston and ended tragically but with love. When Moe came into the  rescue, he was a shadow of himself—a malnourished, heartworm-positive Rottweiler, stripped of his fur and spirit, living in fear of humans. Each day, Moe would rush out of his kennel, do his business, and return to the safety of his shelter, avoiding any human touch. He had learned that the world was a dangerous place, and trust was a luxury he couldn’t afford.

 

But I saw past his fear and brokenness. I approached him gently, letting him sniff my hand, offering treats and kind words. For three months, it was a slow process, filled with small steps. Then one day, Moe allowed me to pet him. Eight months later, he gifted me with his first kiss—a moment so powerful that it brought tears to my eyes. From that day on, Moe’s Rottweiler personality began to shine. He would visit other dogs in their kennels, seek me out, and demand his daily kiss. I had done it—I had given Moe a chance to be the dog he was always meant to be.

 

When Moe was finally heartworm-free, it was time to find him the perfect home. I found an adopter who seemed ideal—she had the space, the love, and the understanding that Moe needed time to trust. For months, i prepared her, explaining the importance of patience and the need for Moe to be kept on a leash until he could adjust. She seemed ready.

 

But just one day after arriving at his new home, Moe got loose. He was hungry, scared, and running for his life in a strange place. Despite the efforts of neighbors, trappers, and even drones, Moe remained on the run for three weeks. His adopter hadn’t provided for him or shown him the love and care he so desperately needed. In the end, Moe was hit by a vehicle and died—far from the home I  had hoped he would find, far from the safety and love I had promised him.

 

The loss of Moe was devastating, a failure not of love but of circumstance. Yet, even in his passing, Moe left a profound mark on everyone who knew him. His ashes will be returned to the rescue, where he will rests with his friends. In my heart, i know that he was greeted at the gates by Samson, Zoey, Max, and the others, running free at last.

 

Moe’s life may have ended in tragedy, but his story remains a reminder of the power of love, patience, and dedication. He left paw prints on my heart and on the hearts of many.

Please consider a gift today. 

In memory of Moe
