About

Animal rescue built around lasting care.

Help fictional dogs and cats find safe, loving homes while demonstrating Rescue OS workflows.

What we do

The work, described honestly

Ballweg Rescue serves Greater Austin demo service area and coordinates rescue, care, and placement for animals.

Contact the team before visiting so it can confirm the current location, hours, and meeting process.

Medical care first

Each animal’s needs are assessed individually. Care may include routine prevention, diagnostics, treatment, recovery support, or other services the rescue and its veterinary partners determine are appropriate.

Behavior and adjustment matter too

Safe placement is more than a medical checklist. The team learns how each animal behaves, what environment helps them settle, and what support a future household may need.

Then adoption

The rescue reviews each application and explains the checks, meeting process, paperwork, and support required for that animal and household.

And upstream of all of it

Provide a safe public demo of rescue operations without using a real rescue or personal contact data.
