Greg King Canine Recovery dog rescue is located at 484 Farren Road in Texarkana, Texas 75503. Once a month, we transport all pre-adopted dogs and puppies to the following 6 cities. We are a foster based rescue, but due to a lack of available fosters, we have approximately 75 with us here on our 2.2 acres that Greg, Daina and I (Latrell) love and care for until they can be adopted.

Springfield, Illinois
Bloomington, Illinois
Lafayette, Indiana
Rockford, Illinois

Please contact me, Latrell King, at 903-280-4233 for adoption questions. Please send a text before calling and then you can also leave a voicemail because I don’t have my phone with me when I’m taking care of the puppies, cleaning kennels, feeding, vaccinating, etc. I will return your call or respond to your message ASAP.

Once you complete an application, we will process it to get it approved. If it is approved, I will send you the "Approval Letter" via text followed by the "Transport Roster Information form"

The Transport Roster Information form will guide you to select your pickup location and provide links to pay the $75 Transport fee. The adoption fee is not due until you pick up your new dog/puppy on the scheduled transport day.

Following are ballpark estimates of our arrival at each transport location. I will also send a live Google Map link so that adoptive parents can follow our travel progress from one pick up location to the next.
