Houston Cares Animal Rescue, formerly known as Westbury CARE, is more than just a 501c3 rescue, it’s a community of animal lovers working together to make a difference for animals in Houston. What began as a small group of neighbors in Westbury, a Houston neighborhood, trying to help the animals in their area, quickly grew into a non-profit rescue because the need in Houston is so great. Despite its growth, Houston Cares has aimed to keep its community feel and is built on the idea that it will take a community of Houstonians to make change. It is estimated that there are over a million strays in Houston. We believe change will only happen through a multi prong approach including rescue, education, spay/neuter, and changes to our legislation. We believe that the more the rescue community works together and supports each other, the more the animals benefit and the more change will be seen. We are proud to be a small and growing part of the Houston rescue community. Please join our efforts through fostering, volunteering, adopting, or donating

All activities shall be in compliance with state, federal, and local laws and regulations, and duties shall be performed by a humane and professional staff. The purpose of our Animal Protection is to enforce city ordinances directly related to animals, respond to animal concerns within the city, handle strays and wildlife as needed, and educate the public on proper animal care and ownership.

Our goal is to make El Paso a “no-kill” community by 2020 — but we need your help! Join our lifesaving mission by adopting, fostering, volunteering or donating. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable environment for the pets in our care and in the community, and promote responsible pet ownership through outreach efforts and community involvement.

ith the help of other rescues, we gather dogs from remote, rural shelters and areas, where they have little hope of making it out alive. We work with our pawtners in the PNW and the NE to find homes for these dogs. CTR provides financial help for the vetting and transport of these lucky dogs. Our tagline is “Their Lives Begin With a Journey” and we could not be more fulfilled to have been a part of their journey.

We are a non-profit animal shelter that promotes animal adoption and spay/neuter. We work with other rescues to hep more animals find loving homes.

We are Helping Hands Basset Rescue. We rescue basset hounds in the central Texas area and place them in loving forever homes.

Animal Allies of Texas is a 501(c)(3) animal advocacy/rescue organization, dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community. Our goal is to build a no-kill shelter on enough land to house not only “adoptable” animals, but “treatable” ones as well – those who need medical care or behavior modification to become adoptable. While working toward this goal, we engage in community service and humane education projects to help bring about “humanity championed by thought.” AAT relies solely on a dedicated group of volunteers to operate. If you are interested in joining us in any capacity, you will find it a rewarding experience.

TLCR’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome Chinese Cresteds that have found themselves in less than desirable situations. We also strive to educate the community on the unnecessary euthanization of dogs of all breeds due to overpopulated shelters. TLCR provides owners and breeders of Chinese Cresteds an alternative to turning dogs into a shelter. We will do everything in our power to help!

RACS is a small open-intake municipal shelter with big dreams. We passed a No Kill resolution in 2018 and have been steadily working to implement and shape programs that are part of the No Kill Equation in order to save more lives. As of August 2019, RACS has achieved more than a 90% save rate for all of its animals for 6 consecutive months.

I am a 53 year old woman who has rescued animals all of my life. As a child i constantly picked up strays to re-home. This continued into my adult life. I rescued my first dog from a fight ring and drug house in 2013. Samson was the first dog i owned in 14 years. He was also the best dog I ever owned. Samson was a mastiff/shar-pei mix. His brother Memphis came along in a couple of months. In 2016 Samson was poisoned. I spent every day and over 2,000 dollars trying to save him. By the time we figured out what was going on. It was too late. I began to educate myself on dog poisoning and breed selection. Samson never hurt anyone. This led me to the world of animal rescues. Though I know i will never have Samson back on earth. If I can save one dog and educate people about breed selection and dog poisoning. Then I feel as if Samson would be proud.
