Welcome To Our Website

Proudly serving the homeless and neglected animals of Harris County since 1991 by

Sheltering and adopting 192 animals in 2009 without benefit of any permanent facility
Establishing new policies to heartworm test all dogs, FeLV/FIV test all cats and to microchip all animals in our care.
Improving screening and adoption follow up procedures to ensure the best homes possible for all our animals and reduce adoption returns

Since November 2007 we have begun the following initiatives:

Therapy Dog Program — CARL's Crew (Caring Animals Renewing Life) now has 8 Delta Society registered Pet Partner Teams who will be visiting libraries, nursing homes and schools throughout the area in 2010.
Pet Food Pantry — over 1,100 pounds of pet food was collected in 2009 for seniors and shut-ins who so depend on the companionship of their pets yet are finding it financially more difficult to support them. Food is distributed through a partnership with Harris County Meals-On-Wheels.
Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Fund — 15 feral cats from various areas of Harris County were trapped, neutered and released during 2009. Our goal is to increase this number to 60 cats in 2010.
"Tag You’re It!" — a public service program to encourage proper identification of all pets in the county
Obedience Classes — a regular schedule of obedience classes for pet owners to improve relationships and decrease the number of dogs surrendered for behavior issues
