The Heart of HLCR
The people who show up for HLCR boots on the ground have always been at the center of our rescue. This is the story of one long-standing volunteer and a decade of dedication to the dogs who need it most.
In Defense of the Large Dog
Big dogs get a bad rap, and honestly, it makes no sense. Walk through any animal shelter and you’ll notice a pattern: the small dogs go fast. The medium dogs go fairly fast. And the big dogs? The big dogs sit there, tails wagging hopefully, watching family after family walk past them toward the nearest available Chihuahua. It’s a little heartbreaking, and it is also, we would argue, a massive mistake. So today, I’m here to make the case for them.

Amplify Austin Donor Email
Every dog that comes through Highland Lakes Canine Rescue arrives in the middle of their story. They don't know what the future holds. They just know whether someone shows up for them.
This Amplify Austin Day, we want you to meet three of ours. They each need something different, but they all need the same thing first: for someone to care enough to help decide what comes next.

Race Against the Polar Night
Deep in the winter of 1925, a quiet terror settled over Nome, Alaska. Children were falling gravely ill from a diphtheria outbreak as the town's only doctor watched his antitoxin supply vanish. What followed became one of the most legendary acts of bravery in American history.
Before You Surrender: Secure Your Dog's Future by Understanding the Options
Life throws us curveballs. We understand that sometimes circumstances change in ways we never expected, and you may find yourself wondering if you can still care for your dog. At Highland Lakes Canine Rescue, we see the heartbreak on both sides of the surrender process, and we want you to know that surrendering your pet should always be a last resort, not a first option.
Before you make this difficult decision, let's talk about why keeping your dog home matters, what's really happening in shelters right now, and the alternatives that might help you and your best friend stay together.
