Shelter FAQs

LARAS House is a 501(c)3 No Kill Animal Rescue Organization located in Mexia, Limestone County, Texas. The organization started in 2008, and our shelter opened it’s doors in 2010. At any given time we may house as many as 100 + dogs and puppies and often a similar number of cats and kittens at both the shelter and in our foster care homes.
We are based in Mexia, Texas and serve Limestone County and surrounding areas. Our intakes usually come from Limestone County, Freestone County, Leon County, Navarro County, McClennan County and sometimes much further.
