My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You’ve never met a goofier, more lovable dog than Ralphie. Wherever you are - he’ll be there. Whether it’s walking in the yard, having a snack, or drying off after a bath … he’ll be there. Ralphie's been abandoned (repeatedly) during his life, so he'd love a special person(s) who wants to spend time with him! This sweet boy yearns to be a real part of the family.

Ralphie is an older pup, so he’s house and crate trained. None of that young dog foolishness to worry about. Ralphie also LOVES him some sunbathing, so his ideal home would have a backyard for his daily vitamin D intake. He likes other dogs just fine, but what Ralphie really needs is an owner who will love him while also giving him some boundaries. In return, you’ll get never-ending love and companionship … plus his silly little underbite smile. Ralphie is a total catch!

More about this rescue

Animal Justice League (AJL) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt dog and cat rescue organization with a focus on the Oak Forest and Garden Oaks neighborhoods of Houston, TX. AJL was formed on January 27, 2015, but really, the work began long before then!

In a neighborhood that often serves as a dumping ground for unwanted animals, in a city that is overridden with homeless pets, and shelters that are at capacity, we saw a need and knew it was time to make a difference.

We rescue dogs off of the brutal streets of Houston, help care for those that are no longer wanted or cared for by their previous owners, and are registered to pull dogs and cats from the city, county, and nearby shelters. We also help reduce the community cat and kitten population through a robust TNR (trap, neuter, return) program.

Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through rescue, education, and outreach. Help us make our mission a reality!
