Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to Tagg Rescue’s FAQ! Whether you’re looking to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate — we’re here to help you make a difference. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive.
🐾 About Tagg Rescue
What is Tagg Rescue?
Tagg Rescue is a nonprofit, volunteer-based animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs in need — primarily from shelters, streets, and high-risk situations. We place them in loving foster homes and work to find each dog their forever family.
Where is Tagg Rescue located?
We are based in Texas, but we work with fosters, adopters, and rescue partners across the region and beyond.
🐶 Adoption Process
How do I adopt a dog?
Start by filling out our Adoption Application on the Adopt page. Once reviewed, we’ll contact you for a home check and a meet-and-greet with the dog you’re interested in.
What is the adoption fee?
Our adoption fee is $325. This fee helps cover vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchipping, and veterinary care.
Can I adopt if I’m out of state?
In most cases, yes! We have experience arranging safe transport for approved adopters outside of Texas. Additional transport fees may apply.
🏠 Fostering a Dog
What does fostering involve?
Fostering means opening your home temporarily to a dog in need. Tagg provides all medical care, food, supplies, and support — you provide the love and a safe space until adoption.
How do I become a foster?
Fill out our Foster Application on the Foster page. After review and approval, we’ll match you with a dog based on your preferences and experience.
💖 Donations & Support
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Tagg Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
How can I donate?
You can donate securely through our Donate page via PayPal, credit card, or Venmo. We also accept recurring donations and employer match programs.
Do you accept supplies or in-kind donations?
Absolutely! We’re always in need of crates, food, leashes, toys, and other supplies. Please email [email protected] to coordinate a drop-off or pickup.
🤝 Volunteering
How can I volunteer?
We’re always looking for help with transport, events, social media, and home checks. Visit our Volunteer page to get started or email us at [email protected].
📋 Medical & Behavioral Care
Are the dogs vaccinated and spayed/neutered?
Yes. All Tagg Rescue dogs are fully vetted, including vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter, and necessary medical treatment before adoption.
What if my adopted dog needs help adjusting?
We’re here for you. Our team can provide behavior resources, trainer referrals, and support to help your dog settle in safely and confidently.
