Blackjack Animal Rescue & Catahoula Connection is a 501c3 organization. Our primary mission is to rescue catahoulas, catahoula mixes, and other breeds from kill shelters in the southeast.\xa0 \xa0 We rescue over 150 dogs per year from animal shelters or less than ideal living conditions. Our annual budget makes the following possible: rescuing the dog from the shelter, initial vetting of the dog, transport to a foster home or boarding kennel, and receiving routine and emergency care to ensure the dog will be adoptable. If the dog tests positive for heart worms, we ensure the dog gets treatment which can cost $600 - $1000. Once placed in a foster home, we observe the dog’s overall demeanor and personality to optimize compatibility with an adopter’s existing pets and family. We are advocates for catahoulas, catahoula mixes, and other needy shelter animals throughout the southeast, including Texas and Louisiana. We are always in need of foster homes as we do
