ThisIsHouston

Dog rescue in Houston, TX

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!

The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.

Puppies that are too young to be altered will be considered foster-to-adopt until they are spayed or neutered. Adoption fee is $450 for all animals.

Please allow 24 to 48 hours for a reply to your request. We require personal and a vet reference. A signed contract and fee will be accepted before the pet is delivered.
