Furry Pals began fostering dogs in August of 2006. Since then, we have expanded and found homes for many dogs. Our main focus has been, and will continue to be working to rescue animals from the Houston Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (B.A.R.C.) the Montgomery County Animal Shelter (M.C.A.S) and other Greater Houston area Kill Shelters.
Furry Pals Rescue, located in Houston, TX is organized exclusively for the charitable purpose of preventing cruelty to animals by rescuing homeless companion animals from animal shelters and any other place they may be found. The organization will provide or cause to be provided food, shelter, and appropriate medical care for each animal.
Furry Pals Rescue will work to reduce the number of homeless animals by providing for spaying and neutering of all adoptable animals that come into its care which will help reduce the problem of overpopulation. The organization will work to place each animal in an appropriate, qualified, permanent home. Each adoptive owner will be educated by Furry Pals Rescue as to the medical and other needs at the time of adoption of each animal to reduce the chance of an animal being homeless again.
