Cowboy Capital Pet Assistance League Inc., is an no-kill animal rescue organization dedicated to finding safe, permanent homes for the stray, unwanted and abandoned pets of Bandera County.

Who We Are
The Cowboy Capital Pet Assistance League, Inc (CCPAL) has operated in Bandera, Texas, since 2002. In 2005 it began managing the Bandera County Animal Control Facility and immediately turned it into a no-kill adoption center. In addition to private "surrenders," CCPAL now takes in all of Bandera County's stray or abandoned cats & dogs. All of CCPAL personnel are volunteers, some make a 40 mile round-trip to clean kennels and feed animals that the County would otherwise gas or drown.
Our Organization's Mission
The Cowboy Capital Pet Assistance League, Inc, (C.C.P.A.L.) is a no-kill, 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue organization serving all of Bandera County, Texas. Its primary purpose is to rescue the County’s stray and abandoned cats and dogs and find them safe, permanent homes. By cooperating with other organizations it promotes spay/neuter programs in an effort to reduce the enormous pet overpopulation in Bandera County.
Who We Serve
CCPAL serves all of Bandera County's pet owners regardless of age or income level.
Our Programs
Apart from its Adoption Program, CCPAL has a Foster Program whereby pets live in private homes while awaiting adoption. It offers quarterly six-week-long Dog Obedience classes to help owners turn their boisterous dogs into happy & relaxed pets. It also offers low-cost vaccination & micro-chipping clinics

What Sets Us Apart
CCPAL differs from other rescue organizations in Bandera in that it has unlimited intake. Since we have a contract with the County we must take in every animal they bring to us, including dogs impounded as part of legal proceedings. The County euthanizes any animals we refuse.
Objectives for This Fiscal Year
CCPAL is actively seeking land on which to build its own shelter and facilities. It would not abandon the County's strays. Rather it would use the County Animal Control Facility as a staging point to purchase land on which to build and expand our adoption events, encourage more pet owners to spay or neuter their animals.
Recent Accomplishments
The purchase of an 8' x 24' rescue/ adoption trailer using grants from three major charitable foundations. The

Collaboration
People We Would Like to Collaborate With
People who would offer foster homes to the animals at our Adoption Center. We are always overcrowded and desperately need homes where our animals can live in a home environment while awaiting adoption.

Please view our new video in the media gallery to learn more about us and our current situation..
Other Nonprofits We Would Like to Collaborate With
We would like to collaborate with other animal rescue nonprofits organizations from across the nation.
Projects We Need Help On
We need approximately five acres of unrestricted land outside the Medina River flood plane. Then we can apply for grants to build a state-of-the-art shelter. At present we are at the mercy of the County which need give us only 30 days notice to move about 50 dogs & cats from its property. We are also at the mercy of the weather since the Adoption Center is mere yards away from the Medina River. The County has no contingency plan to move the animals in the event of another flood like the one that isolated Bandera in 2002.
