Because of you, the SPCA of Texas was able to answer the call for help after devastating flooding swept through Kerr County and the surrounding Hill Country.
As floodwaters rose and local shelters became overwhelmed, we opened our doors to dozens of adoptable dogs from the affected region. This lifesaving transfer created the critical space those shelters needed to focus on emergency rescues and reunite displaced pets with their families.
Your generosity—through donations, adoptions, and fostering—has already made an incredible impact. You’ve helped transport pets to safety, delivered resources to shelters in crisis, and given animals who lost everything a second chance at a new life.
Starting Thursday, July 17 through Monday, July 21, 2025, a team of SPCA of Texas staff members traveled to the Hill Country in two vehicles loaded with supplies and ready to help.
They provided hands‑on support, including:
On their first afternoon—Friday—the group was sent to Sandy Creek, outside of Leander, Texas, to offer resources, support, and to gain the trust of the small community. The group reported entire bridges and homes knocked out by the flooding of the river.
In the Sandy Creek area, they found a property with 50 dogs. Team members dropped off food and water and connected people with other local groups to ensure they had ongoing support. Our vet tech assistant helped rescue a cat for a man with terminal cancer. The team also recovered a deceased dog and transported it back to Austin and, additionally, worked to help a woman and her 15 cats.
Saturday, the team returned to Sandy Creek and provided leashes, collars, crates, parasite prevention, and additional food. The group met some people who were living in extended stay hotels with their animals, to whom supplies and food also were provided. Much of the afternoon was spent searching for deceased animals. The team recovered many, and took them back to Austin, where the remains were cremated. An added note, unfortunately none of those animals were microchipped.
Sunday, the SPCA of Texas employees accompanied a veterinarian to provide assistance to an injured dog. They also reunited a beautiful German Shepherd with its owner and helped connect a stray pup with the local sheriff’s department. The team identified several free roaming animals in the area and let relief workers know they are not displaced. Staff members also assisted a family in rebuilding their home.
Thanks to your generosity, it was a weekend of hard work, heart, and hope. The SPCA of Texas was honored to stand alongside our fellow Texans helping shelters and communities recover from this devastating flood, all because of you.
In emergencies like this, it’s the strength of our community that keeps animals safe. Your support allows us to move quickly when disaster strikes—bringing hope, relief, and second chances to pets and the people who care for them.
But the need doesn’t stop when the floodwaters recede. Shelters in the affected areas will need ongoing support to rebuild, recover, and care for the pets still waiting for help.
You can be the reason more animals find safety and love.
