Our mission is "Giving Hope to the Hopeless." We save the toughest dogs to place; those with serious medical conditions, paralyzed dogs, deaf and blind dogs, severely emaciated dogs, dogs with neurological deficits & disease, dogs with injuries and orthopedic issues … the animals that nobody else wants; the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized.

Texas is known as having the largest stray dog overpopulation problem within the U.S. Each day dogs are euthanized in shelters, dumped on roadsides and suffer neglect and abuse. Great Pyrenees Advocates of Texas was established to respond to the high numbers of at-risk Great Pyrenees and Great Pyrenees mixes that need our help. Our mission is to provide hands on rescue assistance as well as community outreach and education about the breed. We believe these measures combined will save the lives of hundreds of “Pyr’s throughout Texas. Many of the dogs we help have medical and behavioral issues and our commitment is to provide the care, love and rehabilitation these dogs will need to be placed in the forever homes they deserve. We are excited that Great Pyrenees Advocates of Texas is a strong voice for this regal breed followed up with action and lifesaving support to make a tremendous impact on the homeless dog population in Texas.

Who We Are Bay Area Pet Adoptions is a non-profit, 501(c)3 No-Kill shelter, pet rescue, and adoption organization that relies on donations from the public to house, feed, and medically care for the dogs and cats taken in our adoption program. Founded in 1967 as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Galveston County, we DBA as Bay Area Pet Adoptions and Bay Area SPCA. Our non-profit tax ID is 23-7011759. We are not operated or funded by any national animal group and must rely on contributions from the public to keep our shelter open. Donations made to national animal welfare groups do not benefit our organization or our animals. All financial contributions and in-kind donations are tax deductible. Our Mission The mission of Bay Area Pet Adoptions is to shelter companion animals that we have rescued from kill shelters/animal control facilities and individuals until permanent homes are found for them. Our adoption program strives to place the animal with a family whose lifestyle and activity level matches that of the animal. Bay Area Pet Adoptions provides education and community outreach, focusing on ways to reduce the number of unwanted companion animals and their euthanization. We educate about the daily care and responsibilities of a family pet, including the importance of spaying/neutering, proper vaccinations, and the prevention of heartworms and other parasites. We also provide information on resources available to the community for low-cost spay/neuter assistance and all other medical care. We also offer a low-cost vaccination clinic by appointment. What We Do While at our shelter all animals are given a health check by a licensed Veterinarian and are periodically checked by the same Vet for the duration of their stay. They are spayed or neutered, receive full vaccinations, are given their rabies shot, and are microchipped. All animals are on monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and are de-wormed. Our felines are FIV and FeLv negative and our dogs are tested and/or treated for heartworm disease, making them heartworm negative prior to adoption. Socialization is another key to successful adoptions and to a great life outside of our shelter. Our dogs and cats are not kept in their kennels until someone who is interested in adopting them wants to spend time with them. Our dogs and cats are socialized daily in canine play yards or feline play rooms by staff and volunteers. Daily human contact and socialization with other dogs and cats is extremely important for these animals to successfully transition into a home.

The Humane Society of Imperial County takes in dogs, cats, rabbits, and an occasional pig. The HSOIC never euthanizes for space. We work with rescues to move animals out of the Humane Society and into foster homes where they can be adopted. We also work with Wings of Rescue to fly animals to rescues and shelters in other states where the demand for animal adoptions is greater. We hold adoption events in San Diego as well as El Centro to move animals out as well.

Our Maxim: Saving Lives and Building Families Pets Return Home (PRH) provides life-saving support for dogs. Our four operations support one goal: eliminating unnecessary euthanasia. Annually, 27 million pets are separated from their families unexpectedly. Five million of these animals never return to their owners, resulting in $6 billion in lost pet recovery expenses each year. Our Animal Search and Rescue Team program reduces the lost pet problem and the broken hearts of over 70 million Americans each year. Daily, thousands of dogs, including pregnant dogs, die in animal control facilities due to incorrect behavior assessments or lack of access to behavior modification training. Our Board & Train program provides a lifesaving and family-building alternative to this problem. Many pets are euthanized instead of receiving expensive medical treatment or long-term recovery care. Our Convalescence Care program enables families to afford and provide the care for their loved pets. Thousands of pets die each year because of family inexperience, neglect or abuse. Our Training programs provide the necessary training, which enables the family to provide a safe environment for their dog. Volunteering with us increases awareness, educates everyone within the volunteer’s sphere of influence, provides care for the animals and reduces costs.

Animal Shelter Volunteers of Texas (ASVT): our motto is "Help Us Help Them". We are an all volunteer animal welfare organization. ASVT has no physical location; all animals live in foster homes until adopted. 1. ASVT hosts ADOPTION events at various locations around Montgomery County, Texas. 2. ASVT members network with other RESCUE organizations if the dog or cat can be better served by the other rescue. 3. ASVT uses donations to TRANSPORT pets to out-of-state rescues and shelters which have high adoption rates and need more adoptable pets. 4. ASVT uses donations to pay for the cost of MEDICAL CARE for severely sick and/or injured pets. 5. ASVT uses donations to buy SUPPLIES such as crates, specialty pet foods, treats, vaccines, wormers, flea and heartworm preventatives and more.
