Texas

We prevent euthanasia of unwanted, abandoned & abused puppies, pregnant & small dogs in the Bi-Stone area by providing foster & veterinary services, including spay or neuter, & arranging adoptions &/or transports to no kill shelters.

We were founded by Christie Kasko and Traci James. We are a small foster based rescue. The plight of dogs in our area is dismal. We strive to find perfect homes and promote heartworm treatment, spay and neuter and vaccinations.

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.

We are an open admission shelter for the cities of Lake Jackson, Freeport and Clute. We allow monitored intake for dogsand cats from other cities from Brazoria County. We also operate the only low-cost Spay/Neuter clinic in southern Brazoria County.

Zoo's Rezcue is an organization devoted to finding safe homes for abused or neglected animals. We are comprised of a group of volunteers and fosterers who share this common passion in promoting animal welfare. We do this because we believe strongly that animals have a right to humane treatment and belong in homes that will allow them to thrive and develop into their own healthy and happy personalities.

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.

We care about the cats. We were all involved in a TNVR group and sometimes the cat's life is in danger. This gets the cats out of a bad or dangerous area, yet lets them live out their lives in a safe area where they are appreciated, sheltered, fed and cared for. But for the sweet cats, we need a way to market them.

We are a small but experienced rescue that helps dogs from overpopulated areas of Texas, runs our own transport, and adopts out dogs in the Pacific Northwest. We do so because we love dogs, and we love matching families with dogs that are perfect for them. We have a strong emphasis in humane, science based training, decompression and slow integration. We offer support for the life of the dogs.
