Jack Jack's Pack Street Dog Rescue
Jack Jack's Pack Street Dog Rescue was founded by Sasha and her husband, Chas, after experiencing the heartbreak of tragedy.
In October 2021, their beloved dog Jack-Jack, a 17-year-old chihuahua with dementia, slipped out of their home when the wind blew their front door open. As they tirelessly searched for him, they discovered other lost and abandoned dogs in desperate need—so many suffering souls in rough shape who just needed a chance at a better life. When owners couldn’t be found, Sasha and Chas opened their hearts and home to these dogs, creating what became Jack Jack’s Pack.
Though Jack-Jack was never found, his spirit inspired Sasha, Chas, and their family to help more and more vulnerable dogs who had nowhere else to go. Jack-Jack’s legacy lives on through the rescue, giving countless pups a chance at the happy life they deserve.
Jack Jack's Pack is a true grassroots street dog rescue based in Pflugerville, TX. Their mission is threefold: to reunite lost pets with their owners, to rescue street dogs and place them in loving forever homes, and to rehabilitate injured and sick dogs throughout Central Texas.
Since Jack-Jack went missing, Sasha, Chas, and their team have saved more than 912 dogs!
Their rescue network now includes over 100 fosters, many caring for animals with significant medical needs. Day and night, often in dangerous situations, they respond to calls near major highways, dog-fighting rings, and properties where dogs have been abandoned, neglected, shot, or abused. They work tirelessly to find fosters, raise funds, and keep the rescue running, relying entirely on donations and fundraising.
Jack Jack’s Pack takes in dogs in the most desperate situations—those many others turn away. Many are severely injured or neglected. Their standards of care are as high as they would want for their own pets, ensuring every dog receives a thorough medical evaluation, a loving foster home or a place in their own home, proper care, socialization, and enrichment while they await their forever families. They spare no expense in providing for these dogs—covering vaccinations, spaying and neutering, hospital stays, surgeries, blood transfusions, hyperbaric treatments, and more. Fundraising happens on the go—through community platforms, direct calls to their trusted veterinarians, wish lists, events, auctions, and raffles.
Jack Jack’s Pack is a family rescue, and everyone helps! The work is challenging and often emotional, but their commitment is unwavering. They lead by example, sharing the message that every animal deserves a chance at a happy life.
AND THEY HAVE A DREAM: To build Jack Jack’s Safe Haven—a sanctuary for all the dogs in need across Central Texas.
Until then, they continue their mission wherever they’re needed, rescuing dogs on the run or frozen in fear—in junkyards, woods, fields, city spaces, back roads, and highway medians, no matter the weather.
Jack Jack’s Pack Street Dog Rescue saves dogs who need hope, healing, and the chance to live a life they can love. Every day, they make miracles happen. Please read about the precious lives they save.
