Rescued Pets Movement
Rescued Pets Movement, Inc, is a non-profit all volunteer organization that transports animals from Houston and Greater Houston area shelters to other nonprofit animal welfare organizations that have demand for adoptable pets. They work to build solid relationships with reputable shelters and rescue groups here and in areas of the U.S. where pet overpopulation isn’t such a dire issue, and then arrange transportation to get the animals there. Not only is this the best way to save Houston’s shelter pets from euthanasia, but they believe it will be the impetus in helping Houston shelters become no-kill shelters. Working with BARC, fosters, volunteers, and with only donations, RPM has saved over 4000 lives to date and placed them in loving homes. Here is a short video clip on what they do.
BARC Animal Shelters & Adoptions
My brother adopted his best pal, Whitney, from here. Neither of them could be happier. BARC is the City of Houston’s Animal Shelter and Adoption Facility and is building a new state-of-the-art facility. BARC is the only city shelter in Houston required by law to accept every animal that comes through their doors regardless of breed, temperament, health conditions, and circumstance (from owner surrender, stray pickup, rescued or confiscated animals). They have built a best-in-class team that stewards their mission of professionalism, responsibility, compassion, commitment, integrity, and accountability.

Houston SPCA
This is where Dudley and I first met. Yes, it was love at first sight. What can I say? I’m a sucker for handsome dogs needing a jailbreak. It was a great decision.

Austin Pets Alive
Austin Pets Alive! has become one of the country’s No-Kill leaders by innovating and maintaining programs, in turn lending Austin the title of the largest No-Kill city in the nation. By studying the best practices of other cities, analyzing their results and impact, and implementing new procedures, Austin Pets Alive! has created its own “road map” as it weaves experience into the unique characteristics of our city. Austin is rich in prevention resources such as spay/neuter, medicine, and fostering, and they are filling the gaps in areas that have been historically under-represented, such as high volume, high quality adoption. Austin Pets Alive! is focused on helping the healthy and treatable pets at risk of being killed in a shelter. They rescue dogs and cats who are at the greatest risk, providing them care within their shelter or with one of their hundreds of foster families, and adopting them out.
