I have tried to find the person who did, but have been unsuccessful, so I am unable to give permission. However, the quote was obviously written by someone who cares deeply about rescue dogs, so I feel sure that they wouldn't object to you using it!

Hi Karen, I've just completed a children's book about rescue cats. Inside the front cover, I would like to use your quote...“Saving one (dog) pet will not change the world, but surely for that one (dog)pet, the world will change forever.” ― Karen Davison Would this be ok? Please let me know Thanks. Annette Morano

Many thanks for your message. Unfortunately, that quote wasn't written by me, although I am often accredited for it. I have tried to find the original author, but have been unsuccessful, so I am unable to give permission as I don't own the copyright.
Not the answer you were hoping for, sorry!
I love the idea of a children's book promoting rescue, good luck with it.
All the best, Karen.(less)
