Out of State
Adoption
At Unleash the Paws, we are dedicated to finding loving homes for pets across the country. While we're based in Tyler, TX, we offer out-of-state adoptions to help save as many dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens as possible from high-kill shelters and the streets of Texas. Our mission is to ensure every pet gets a second chance, regardless of distance.
We’re located in Tyler, Texas, but we’re proud to help animals find homes all across the country. While many pets in Texas are in desperate need of homes, we understand that adopting a dog or cat from out of state might feel unusual or unfamiliar. But, with the dog overpopulation crisis, this is our best way to save as many lives as possible and give these pets a second chance.

Why Adopt from Out of State?
Texas is facing a dog overpopulation crisis, with many pets—especially puppies and kittens—struggling to find homes locally. By offering out-of-state adoptions, we can extend the reach of our rescue efforts and give more animals the opportunity to be placed in loving homes, no matter where they are.
