WE RESCUE ANIMALS FROM SEVERAL STATES AND FIND THEM LOVING FOREVER HOMES. WE DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE ANIMALS

We have seen such a need for abandoned, neglected, and abused animals here in Texas. Our goal is to help as many animals as possible and to help educate individuals on caring for their pets.

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.

The Animal Rescue Mission (ARM) was created to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home unwanted animals while educating the public on how to provide a safer, happier world for all animals. Ensuring that every formerly homeless, abused, and neglected animal receives the rehabilitation they need and then be matched with a permanent loving home is our goal.

Our Underdog Rescue Squad is a group of a few people committed to rescuing and/or providing assistance to domestic animals in the Southern California area. After working with a couple of rescues over the years, we decided to get our own non profit status and work on a saving/providing better futures for a few dogs at a time.

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.

Our name says it all, PIPs’ primary focus are medical and special needs dogs that are often overlooked. We call these dogs “PIP-abled” which means perfectly imperfect. A dog that may need a wheelchair, is missing limbs, deaf, blind or in need of some extra love and care – this is our niche. While we love our PIP-abled dogs; puppies, healthy adult dogs, and seniors have our hearts as well. We are inclusive of all dogs in need.

We are a registered non-profit charity founded in 2012. We consist of a Board of Directors and are totally run by volunteers. We primarily take in Northern dogs but also rehome animals from local shelters as well as owner surrenders.m (when applicable.) We spay/neuter all our animals as well as include age appropriate vaccines and a microchip. We also treat any known medical conditions before adoption.

Our founder, Lisa Biel, started this rescue early 2019 working with Mexico rescue groups to rehome the far too many stray dogs. Prior to this group, she was transporting and fostering for many of San Diego groups and saw a need for a rescue group.
