Best Friends in Houston works collaboratively with city shelters, local animal welfare organizations and passionate individuals to save the lives of pets in shelters in Houston and the surrounding areas. To guide this work and help Houston become a no-kill city for cats and dogs, Best Friends launched the Coalition to Save Houston’s Pets in April of 2018.

We strive to have an open adoption process. We may have a adoption fee (typically $50) but we will also host fee-waived adoptions too. We will have a short adoption contract that the person will sign. Best Friends committs to the pets for life, meaning when we adopt out a pet we always have our organizations contact on the microchip, in addition to the person's contact info. We will always take a pet back into our care if needed. For requirements, the adopter must be over 18 years old.
