ABOUT US
Mission
Whiskers in the Wildflowers Animal Rescue, located in the northern DFW area, is a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats in crisis. Through advocacy and education, we promote pet health and responsible ownership, inspiring our community to create a safer, more compassionate world for animals. By relieving overcrowded shelters, providing a safe haven for abandoned and stray pets, and nursing them back to health, we ensure they find loving, forever homes.
Who We Are
Whiskers in the Wildflowers animal rescue is a community-driven organization dedicated to saving abandoned, injured, and lost pets in the DFW area. We work tirelessly to prevent unnecessary euthanasia by rescuing animals from overcrowded shelters and providing them with the care they deserve.
​
Our rescue offers comprehensive services, including medical care, rehabilitation, and personalized adoption placements through thorough home checks and interviews. We are committed to educating the community about the importance of spaying and neutering, pet health, and responsible pet ownership. Additionally, we support individuals who need to rehome their pets or have found lost or abandoned animals, ensuring every pet has a chance at a loving future.
​
To further our mission, we one day hope to have our own facility, cat cafe to help cats get more interaction, and to provide a public indoor dog park—offering a safe, weather-proof space where dogs can play and exercise.

History
Whiskers in the Wildflowers animal rescue was founded by Kyrie Rodgers because of the amount of tragic animal stories being posted multiple times a day on social media about the pets in the DFW area. As a recent transplant from Colorado where the shelters have fewer pets and shorter euthanasia lists with rare stories of abandoned pets, Kyrie was unable to sit by and watch while her new community was tossing such beautiful animals aside as if they were nothing. She saw some members of the community ask why something isn’t being done by the cities, so she asked herself “why don’t I do something about it?”
Whiskers in the Wildflowers was founded in 2023 and is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and has been growing in support ever since.
