We love keeping our community informed, but there’s so much more happening behind the scenes. From medical care to reunions to adoptions, everything we do supports pets and the people who love them. At Harris County Pets, we care for homeless animals and work every day to give them the best chance at a positive outcome, and while that’s always what we strive for, the reality is that community animal welfare is complex. It takes all of us to make a lasting difference — and there’s a place for eve

Full shelter tour! If you have never been to the shelter, take a look inside and see the kind of resources they have to work with here. 60-80 animals come in per day to a shelter only meant to hold 150 animals when it was built in the 80's. This is a community issue we have dumped on the shelter. It is going to take the community to solve this huge problem of animal overpopulation in Harris County. We must push the City of Houston and Harris County Officials to fund free spay and neuter programs
