etosha rescue and adoption center

Mission Statement

Etosha was first established in Castroville, Texas, in December 1988. It is now located outside the city limits of Seguin, Texas. Etosha provides care for more than 130 rescued dogs year round. All dogs are heartworm tested, neutered and properly vaccinated prior to adoption. In many cases, such as in the larger breeds, hip and/or elbow x-rays and heart checks may be performed prior to adoption. Dogs are well-socialized and their temperaments carefully evaluated before they become available for adoption. They receive basic obedience training as well. Healthy dogs of good temperament are never euthanized at Etosha. If an adoptive home is not found, rescued dogs live out their lives as permanent residents of the facility. Etosha provides large, grass and dirt surfaced runs (no concrete) for its rescues. Individual wading pools are provided for each dog during the summer months. Shelters consist of wood sides and tin roofs, as well as wooden dog houses or the insulated "igloo" type. Crates are available indoors for young puppies, sick or injured dogs, and those who cannot tolerate unusually hot or cold conditions. Etosha is a nonprofit association that exists solely on public donations. It is managed on a daily basis by one person and several generous foster homes. Tax- deductable donations of cash, food and building materials are always needed and greatly appreciated. Contact Etosha at etosha@texas.net or phone 830-401-0150 bonney williams
