Bond County Humane Society (BCHS) was formed in 2003 by Rachel & Dennis Hundsdorfer and a small group of concerned citizens. The mission is to provide temporary housing to stray, unwanted and neglected cats and dogs until permanent loving homes can be found. Our mission also includes controlling the pet overpopulation through low cost spay/neuter programs. We offer local low cost spay/neuter programs for companion animals and low cost spay/neuter programs for feral free roaming cats. We actively participate in humane education programs with a group of volunteers from surrounding counties to elementary and high schools those counties. BCHS was formed because we saw a need for improving animal welfare in Bond County.

St. Animal Pet Adoptions aka SAPA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to local strays and surrenders in finding forever homes and a family to love them as they should be loved. We also work on educating people about the breeds The St. Animal Pet Adoptions vision is to fulfill our mission statement to increase the number of adoptions and to start an education program. The vision is to have a pet adoption program up and running immediately with obtaining our 501(c)3 status within one year of the date of inception. To bring the number of adoptable animals sent to a kill shelter to zero. To enclose the area next to the shelter to give the animals kept in the pound a place to exercise. To start an education program to help, not only educate regarding spay/neuter and the no kill method; but to instill the importance of advocacy for something you believe in, and volunteering for your community. Reduce the number of animals euthanized by re-homing more animals and increasing the adoption rate in our community. Educate the community on adequate care and control of their pets with emphasis on the importance of spaying/neutering their pets and staying up to date on the vaccinations.

We are a newly formed rescue group Stray Haven Rescue. We rescue animals to help minimize the euthanization of healthy adoptable animals.

I am the Publications Manager for the City of Pasadena, managing web/electronic and print publications. I am the usual contract point when departments want to implement new software applications that are IT-centric but rather end user. In addition, I am a member of Pets & People Alliance, an organization begun about 12 years ago by the present mayor to assist the shelter through fund raising that enables the City shelter to expand their assistance to animals. PPA is made up primarily of City employees, with other interested parties.

Mutts & Meows Animal Rescue is a private rescue headquartered near Sugar Land (in the southwestern suburbs of Houston). We work closely with other rescues as well as the Animal Control Departments of Pearland, Missouri City, and other municipalities in the Houston area, to help place dogs and cats in loving, permanent homes. Many of our dogs and cats live with foster families, so we know them well enough to make a good match between people and pets. Our adoption fees (which vary based on which agency we're working with) include spaying/neutering, vaccinations, FEV/FELV tests for cats, and heartworm tests for dogs.
