The Abandoned Ones "Saving Animals in Danger"

TAO is a foster - based animal rescue group in Dfw,Tx. Saving the abused , neglected and abandoned. Worth, Texas and surrounding area (s) . flea treatment etc.
(366)

The Abandoned Ones Animal Rescue is an all - volunteer "ALL BREED" foster based rescue group in Ft. Saving animals from streets & shelter system. All animals ( dogs & cats ) rescued are fostered in loving homes . We are not a physical facility and instead, we rely on Fosters to foster animals in their homes. We require home visits for all interested potential adopters and fosters . All animals up

for adoption are fully vetted, spayed -neutered, UTD on shots and on hw/flea preventive and microchipped . "Home Visits " are required for potential adopters and foster ( s ) homes . TAO is a team of "UN-Paid" fosters & volunteers who work together to bring awareness for the abused , neglected , abandoned animals. Many of the animals we rescue come from a dog fighting ( known dumping site ) neighborhood in Ft Worth, Texas but we rescue animals in a variety of circumstance, including strays and animals who have been abandoned or owner surrendered . NOTE: All animals are scanned for a micro-chip upon intake . We believe that EVERY ANIMAL MATTERS. Our mission is to get them off the street away from danger ( as a majority we rescue come from the streets) . we believe in every animal deserve a second chance .. TAO provides medical and nutritional care to our rescues, as well as socialization, rehabilitation , preventative care and neuter/spay. Community Outreach :
We educate the public on the need for neuter/spay as well as providing education on animal needs and care. WE educate individuals who lack information about spay and neuter, vaccination needs, and adequately caring for animals. We assist families with their pets (to help them keep their pets) , which includes home visitation and providing the means for vaccinating their animals. We help with scheduling their family pets for vet appointments, if needed. Educating the public /community about animal welfare /educating our youth about Animal Cruelty/ educating the uneducated. We encourage you to contact us if you are interested in fostering for us or making a lifelong commitment as an adopter. If interested in fostering or volunteering, please contact us at taoanimalrescue.com
We strive to find the best forever placement, so all of our adoptions require an application, a home visit, and an adoption fee. All of the TAO team members and fosters are " unpaid" volunteers at TAO. Our source of funding is donations of funds and supplies. If you wish to donate, please click here via our Amazon Wish List :

If you believe animal rescue is important and would like to get involved, we have many ways for you to help, no matter your geographical location. Contact us and we will get you plugged in to the TAO team. MISSION: To rescue abandoned animals and to raise awareness of animal needs and issues which will reduce the burden on an already overburdened animal shelter system. ABOUT THE FOUNDER: 2010
Judy Obregon rescuer located in Ft Worth, Texas. due to the volume of emails received after an article published in the Dallas Morning News that featured Judy and RESCUE dog Hercules (a pitbull) ( 2011) this page was then created. I try my very best to help those with NO voice. One way to bring attention to the animals is by documenting photos and video ( showing the reality of the Abandoned ONES and Abused).Once rescued, They are placed in approved foster homes while they await their forever homes. All animals are vetted before going into foster care or forever homes. Their only hope is our compassion...

The heartbreaking part of rescue , is when you try to save and unable to .
Yesterday's rescue was beyond what I could put into words .
But , that's not all - days prior I found another deceased dog same area , same spot .
Days before I saw a cat running down a busy street only to get hit .( didn't survive ) died on scene .
Days prior a dog was abandoned in a dumpster , same area , same sad s**t .
Add all the above to your mind and soul .
As it continues day in day out .

My thoughts were maybe it's time to end my rescuing days because of yesterdays rescue , ...while my mind was telling me that , my heart was telling me NO you get up and go rescue another one in his honor !
That is what I will do !

Meanwhile .
My mind , my soul , my heart , my body can not handle what others don't want to acknowledge or accept and ignore .

While I pick them up with no funds in place , funds aside ...the little baby from lastnight was beyond repair and suffering . no quality of life per vet !
His cries , his screams as we rushed him to the vet , are instilled in my brain !
With all the other pictures and videos of animals, I've witnessed wait for their owners who abandoned them , the deceased found that show cruelty , the sacrifice of the things that need to be done , even if it leaves me without .

Having to get on social media to do a video , type a post for help ..that may not be shared or even read .

It is all more than depressing knowing it will never end !!!

As a rescuer , we get beat down every. single .day .
Not a day goes without a cry , without a doubt , we get up and fight another day ..
Until our mind , our soul is so broken .💔

I'm so very sorry to the little dog who we named Noel that was ran over by a WHITE SUV .
Now Imagine the extent of damage done to a little dog that was already thin , and weighed roughly 4 lbs .
I'll spare you the graphic nature of it .
I'll spare you the additional videos of the screams and yelps as we rushed him to the vet !
He would have suffered immensely on the street , in addition to the cold ALONE !

I held him till the end , I looked into his sad eyes , I told him we cared.
He will be cremated and come home to me , with the rest of those we found already deceased (on site ) and cremated.

maybe I just ain't as strong as I use to be , maybe is just that !

this is the reality of street rescue !
Our loving arms hold them , as we lift them up from the street .
They look into our eyes that will forever leave a memory as to why we exist .
We heal the hurting ,
while our hearts break into a million pieces !
Imagine when one dies in our arms 💔
Next time you see us smile , deep down we are sometimes hurting from the things we've seen we can't un-see or even comprehend.

To our loyal supporters who donated , please let me know if you'd like a refund .
to those who shared our post , just know that it means alot to me to us .
Your kind words of encouragement , and support is greatly appreciated.

Special Thanks to my daughter who contacted me regarding what was witnessed , The loving vet , Dr Glen at Creekside we love your heart . The compassion you share to the animals we've rescued will never go un- noticed .

Noel you will furever live in our hearts , your life mattered .
RIH sweet boy , no more suffering ,

Part ( 2 )
Little dog abandoned by the dumpster 😪
🌟RESCUED🌟

When I first spotted her , I had to figure out ways to capture her safely .
Thankfully I had a trap in my vehicle !

The first attempt , she wouldn't walk in due to the trap liner ( mat ) it feared her .
So I removed it in hopes she would then walk into the trap .
I wad praying she'd go in literally in tears watching this sweet girl who is beyond terrified .
Part of this video is difficult to watch as she trembles .Trust me I cried !
As she waited and waited ...

I will never understand how someone could just drive away .
So innocent , so fragile .
Well .
Her new life begins , I never left the moment I spotted her .
No foster , no time to spare .

She was RESCUED ! I squeezed her in my home ( we will figure out ) later .
Leaving her was not an option !
She was in DANGER !

Her name is Liv ❤

Donations directly to vet are greatly appreciated.

Our boy Smitty found a loving forever home.
💚 ADOPTED 💚
His sleepover turned forever !

Smitty came to us fearful of everything after leaving an abusive home .
We were able to get him to safety , and into a loving foster home .
His fear of assuming he was gonna be hit , he would run to cower and hide broke our hearts !
With love and patience ( Thanks to his loving foster family ) Smitty began to trust .
It took several months for him to recover emotionally.
We had to make sure his new family would understand that some things may be uncomfortable for him .
A home with lots of understanding and love was exactly what he needed and he found just that .

It's been a few months since he was adopted , and as of today he's living the best life ever .
What we wish for Every Animal .

Here's a glimpse of his new life , and forever family.

PS : him sitting at the dinner table ❤
Family !

🌟Thank you to the two youngsters who were his voice ( to free him away from danger ) Thank you to his loving FOSTER FAM for their patience , love and care provided to prepare him for his loving forever home and Thank you to his forever family for opening their heart and loving arms to our sweet boy🌟 .

Love wins !

🔸Update🔸 : on the little dog who was threatened to get shot !

Please send our boy, Bon Bon good healing vibes as he is getting neutered today .

He was rescued back in June 2024 .

Rescue Recap : he was threatened to be shot ( Echo Lake ) Ftw , Tx 💔

It has taken him some time to trust , and while he does trust the people who surround him with love and care ( his loving foster family ) he still shakes in fear as seen in video .
Beyond heartbreaking to see !

This is the part that you don't see in the rescue video ( s ) of some of our dogs rescued .
This takes time and patience and we appreciate our loving foster families who provide just that .

He eventually got comfortable 💚

Thank to all who share , and support this never - ending mission .

Update : The little chi rescued from the streets of Echo Lake in Fort Worth , Texas . We are calling him Bon ' Bon . His first video was difficult to share as much as it is to see him shake in fear . He is still learning to trust , and we will give him all the time he needs . He continues to thrive and on the road to recovery mentally and physically . His first video shows just how scared he was after he was rescued off the streets . No matter how many times we rescue these scared dogs off the streets , it never gets any easier. We try to get them before it is " too late " Medical Status : His heartworm test " NEGATIVE " !! and now UTD on all required vaccines. He was rescued just in time as he is underweight , and was dehydrated 😪 Once he is medically cleared for neuter , that will be his next step into the vet. We are so Thankful TAO supporters who contributed to his vet care and all who stand beside us . #taoanimalrescue #echolakesurvivor #animalrescue #FortWorthTx

⛔Foster & funds needed⛔( Echo Lake , Ftw , Tx ) I've been tracking this dog I spotted a few times. To avoid injury to the dog since he was near busy street . I kept following which led me to a property. A local resident alerted me the dog was threatened with a gun ( when I went around asking questions ) In which expedited a mission to RESCUE ! Details : Per property owner. FWPD was called out to the location after he pulled out a gun , upon arrival FWPD walked into the home of the person reported with gun . Gun could not be located , FWPD left the property. ⚠Dog remained in danger , I approached property owner(s) regarding this dog ( the property where dog hung out ) . Note : Property owner (s) are not the person (s) who threatened dog . After a lengthy discussion with property owner , I was given permission to enter the property. Difficult task at hand , however without help this dog would be a DEAD dog and WE won't allow it . Sadly . A total of three dogs have been found deceased on this property , believed to have been poisoned ( paint thinner) . Just when we thought we couldn't rescue anymore , came another to remind us why we are needed .

(Rescued from Houston, TX during Hurricane Harvey) eight years ago ! 🏵Carley' s Rescue Story : Local Houston residents posted her photo everywhere, but no one could get close to her. We went to Houston to assist with the hurricane aftermath and found her still sitting in the same spot. The rest is history. She's living a great life, and her parents have kept in touch. Now, they've adopted another TAO baby, our boy Ranger! They're both thriving! Thank you to their forever family for opening their heart and home twice!

TAO supporters we need your help . I don't think I need to say why as everyone knows every rescue is struggling 😪 Because we have animals waiting for their forever home ( those need yearly re- vetting ) . Our longest resident is Miracle ( 4 ) years , Rosita ( 3 ) years , Church (2 ) years ( in this video ) Patrick the boston terrier ( Cushing Disease ) requires monthly meds $145 and yearly testing . That's just some . We have to focus for those already in our care , and those need re- vetting each year . The ones listed above and all the ones before and after we never ask for funds prior to rescue , nor when they need their yearly vaccines or meds . When we provide those routine searches at Echo Lake and rescue. ( we don't ask for funds ) although we have once rescued and we are so grateful for all of you who have helped us help The Abandoned Ones. I can't imagine not being able to rescue anymore , that is my biggest fear is not being able to help those abandoned. For fourteen years , driving everyday searching for abandoned dogs because that is where they are dumped . We've saved so many just from one specific spot , and changed their lives for the better . Sadly I know of two dogs by Echo Lake currently that are in need of help . But I can't ignore that our boy CHURCH needs to see the vet . Our animals in our care are priority until they are adopted . it is very difficult for me to ask for help ( I'm in tears ) . Church is limping off and on and also due for his yearly vaccines including hw test and will possibly need xrays . " He is currently at the vet now " Rosita is also due for her yearly . ✨Ways to help✨ : 1st option ---our vet --- Donations directly to the vet at Dr .Halbrook ( 817) 488-9199 Reference" TAO Acct " Judy Obregon Or if you prefer Venmo : @TAOsRescue Pay Pal : https://www.paypal.me/TAOAnimalRescue Thank you in advance for your generosity Maybe we just need a push , because we've always rescued without funds , things are not
