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.

Nicholas' Pet Haven was born in October of 2013 and it received it's 501(c)(3) status in August of 2014. We are currently recognized as a non-profit organization and are managing efforts to promote a no-kill community. All animals are worthy of a chance at a good life, and we will see to it that this is accomplished.​

The largest animal shelter on the South Plains, Lubbock Animal Services is committed to caring for the more than 15,000 animals annually rescued from Lubbock. Lubbock Animal Services is an open-door shelter that provides lost and found services, animal adoptions, humane education, cruelty investigations, and enforces the laws regarding animals for the City of Lubbock. Lubbock Animal Services also accept animals from outside the city limits for a fee. We are located at 3323 SE Loop 289. We provide a temporary home for lovable, adorable puppies and kittens, faithful and devoted adult cats and dogs, and just about every other furry, scaly, or feathered species of animal people keep!

M & D Rescue Duo will serve as a compassionate advocate for animals and instill in our community that all living beings have a right to be treated with respect. We have observed a need in our community to assist, rescue, foster, provide medical care and love for unwanted, homeless, and neglected animals. Our organization will work to reduce the population of homeless/unwanted animals by sharing with our members, adopters, and the community responsible pet owner skills, proper animal health and safety related information, and quality of life care, that will result in lowering the number of strays in animal shelters and in the community. We will promote, support and provide spay/neuter assistance to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and provide community services which may help keep a companion animal with the family they love.

Texas Humane Heroes is a No Kill, private, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization with dog and cat adoption centers in Leander (Greater Austin Metropolitan area) and Killeen, Texas. Established in 1979, Texas Humane Heroes enhances the lives of pets and people through adoption, availability of our low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination clinics as well as family-friendly community events. Our mission is to eliminate pet homelessness. We are 100% funded by donations, grants and modest fees for services. Texas Humane Heroes does not receive any local, state, or federal government funding. We take pets from a 5% chance at life to a 100% chance at a loving home. We rescue pets from municipal shelters, some with save rates as low as 5%, and provide them the opportunity to give and receive love. We are partnered with over 70 municipal shelters in over 30 counties in Texas. The problem of overcrowded municipal shelters and pets being put to sleep is a state-wide issue and requires a big vision. Our vision is to build a system to find a loving home for every Texas pet in need.

Pitty Paws Bully Rescue's mission is to end the negative stigma of pit bulls and bully breeds and to be true ambassadors of the bully breed by promoting responsible dog ownership.Exercise, training, respect for others, spay/neutering, proper identification, and education are just some of the key components to being a breed ambassador. PPBR is a 100% foster and volunteer based rescue group.

Turtle Creek Veterinary Medical Center is a full service animal hospital that also rescues kittens/cats from our local shelter and adopts them out.

Hunt County Pets Alive original goal was to help the other rescues in the area. That goal is still in the works, as there is strength in unity, but in the past year, HCPA has broadened it's vision and expanded into a full fledge foster based rescue, having up to 100 animals in it's care at any given time.

We are a 501 C3 Organization. We saw a huge need out in the smaller towns in and around the brenham are. The Brenham shelter was not working with rescue and the eu rates were high. I began to pull and help the shelter and to dat have successfully pulled over 125 dogs from the shelter. All are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and in foster homes. I do it because this is where my heart is. They need a voice and there is no greater gift than seeing an animal that was once hopeless find and have a forever happy home with a wiggling tail!
