Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This Fetch Fanatic will Surely Capture your Heart if Given the Chance!
Lulu is such a wonderfully loving dog as soon as you enter her circle of trust! She prefers a hands off approach until she is comfortable – but would love to toss toys with you right off the bat!
Love all the time! Lulu loves attention! She’s all about as much affection as she can receive! After slow and gentle introductions with people, her bold and expressive heart appears and she will shower you her smiling face, toys and snuggles on the couch. She’ll share everything with people and everything but food with dogs. She’s a wonderful hangout buddy but needs mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy and settled in for the evening!
Impressive resume! Lulu is a smart gal. She already knows the commands look, touch, sit, down, shake, go to bed and is working on spin! She’s even learning the name of toys. She could certainly learn a lot more! Cars, baths, brushing…no problem! She’s housetrained and she’s so good, she doesn’t really need a crate, but handles the crate well.
Not perfect but close! Lulu needs slow introductions to everyone, especially dogs. She’s also best with dogs with similar energy levels as her. With people, she needs slow introductions and minimal touching until she trusts them.
Lulu is happiest with lots of walks and/or runs especially if you live in an apartment. Her ideal family will give her regular outlet for exercise but she doesn’t need you to be super physical. She simply needs energy outlet and love.

Houston, TX 77008
713-863-9835
HOURS:
11-4PM Wednesday - Monday
Closed Tuesday
We are currently located in the Historic Heights. Our shelter looks more like a gallery than a shelter! Incredible photography is displayed in our lobby. Care has been taken with every detail of the building. We are bringing in 100% outside fresh air and turning over the air in each space completely 15 times an hour. We have made certain that sunlight reaches every animal (and staff) workspace and even engaged a professional acoustician from the beginning to ensure that we manage the sound for everyone's comfort. We have cageless cat rooms with 19-foot ceilings and climbers everywhere to keep the kitties happy and healthy. We have a 'real life' dog living area set up for the dogs. Our shelter is unlike any you've ever experienced! You have to see it to believe it!
We need adoption counselors, docents and animal "smoochers" to keep everyone feeling loved. We also need, welcome and swoon over our foster parents!
Our volunteers and foster parents are like gold to us. Please consider joining this energetic and positive group! If you'd like to volunteer, please just email us below or drop by!
volunteermanager@adoptfriends4life.org
Come by and visit! Even if you are not adopting an animal, we have well-trained staff to answer pet related questions, a wealth of training, medical and behavioral information and a fun atmosphere to just drop in and get your fix of animal love!
As always, Friends For Life is a No Kill organization.

More about this shelter
WHO ARE WE?
We are located in Houston and are the only LEED-certified green No Kill animal shelter in Texas. We incorporated as a 501(c)3 no kill organization in 2002. Friends For Life was started with the purpose of providing the animals of Houston and surrounding areas with immediate alternatives to the killing and a long term plan to change the direction of the sheltering community to a more compassionate future. Our ranks are made up of veterinarians, architects, business people, lawyers, physicians and animal care specialists all passionately dedicated to ending the killing of homeless animals.
WHY DOES OUR ANIMAL COMMUNITY NEED FRIENDS FOR LIFE?
At 80,000 annually, Houston has the tragic distinction of being the city that kills the most animals in its shelters second only to San Antonio. Some of the reasons Houston shelters kill animals is that they are a certain breed (pit bulls, rottweilers, chow chows, etc.), weigh under 2 lbs, sneeze on intake, are over 7 years old, are missing some hair or are pit bull puppies. 75% of the animals we adopt into loving homes have been previously rejected by other organizations as 'unadoptable.'Friends For Life is taking meaningful steps toward reversing this tragic situation by redefining 'adoptable' every day and finding homes for animals who otherwise have no hope. At Friends For Life, EVERY ANIMAL MATTERS.
EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION PROGRAM
Limited only by space, we will accept any animal needing our assistance regardless of age, condition or breed. They include beautiful cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. All are fully vet-checked, tested and have received all age-appropriate vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery.
We have training consults and discounted training services available for all FFL animals.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF CHANGING THE FUTURE?
1. Take a look at out website at www.nokill1.org and consider volunteering. Many of our volunteers have been with us for years and have traveled from as far away as Georgia and Indiana to volunteer for FFL projects. Trust us, it's a good gig!
Sign up online at www.nokill1.org/how-to-help/volunteer or just stop by and see us!
2. Adopt an FFL animal in need. The truth is, 'unadoptable' is what we make it. Every animal adopted from a no kill program sends a powerful message that this is the direction we want to see our shelters take. Every life has value. Together, we can chage everything!
