I met Lucy in October and she was one of my favorites to think she was failed again and now is in this situation with so many babies makes me sick to my stomach. These are the horror stories the shelter is trying to prevent and yet it happened anyways.

October 2024: I love Lucy. I’m not talking about the show I’m talking about this perfect puppers. She knows how to put on the charm that’s for sure. Anyone that greets her gets the same sweet greeting where she gives a smile and looks all cute. She was easy to leash and didn’t have any problem walking by any of the dogs. She played with a pup in the run and loved running back and forth. She enjoys belly rubs and playing which is the perfect package in my opinion. She knows how to relax and knows how to have fun. I saw several people have her out today and every time they brought her back she just would relax in her kennel. She’s so quiet! I’m surprised no one has snatched this girl up yet.

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

October 2024

Approaching kennel, dog was sitting down in the front. I opened the door and she then pancaked, keeping her head low.

I placed the leash but dog remained in potion so I then slowly entered and got behind her, as I was picking her up I could

hear that she was softly crying. I carried her outside the kennel and then placed her on floor. As I was petting and baby

talking her, she wagged her tail and looked at me with soft eyes. As I was petting her head, she would gently close her eyes

and lick her lips, and get closer to my legs. After spending a minute with her, she followed me and walked loosely with a

wagging tail. She occasionally would freeze and look at me with soft eyes and a wagging tail, I had to baby talk and pet

her again for her to continue walking. While outside, I squatted down again and she quickly came forward to sit next to me.

While petting her outside, she got on her back with tummy up and was enjoying the belly rubs with closed eyes and a smile.

Coming back inside, she walked with a more relaxed body. After placing her in kennel, I closed the door and then started

to pet her through door. She sat in placed licking her lips and closing her eyes in comfort as I petted her head. She was

super and friendly towards me,

In the afternoon I was able to take her outside so she could have more outside time and adjust to the outside setting since

in the morning she was a bit timid. Again, she slowly walked on the leash and needed a lot of encouragement to walk. She

often pulled back but I was able to redirect her with with baby talk and pets. She ignored treats and baby talk seemed to

be working better with her. When coming back inside she walked on a loose leash, still occasionally stopping. Again,

responding super well to being pet, loves the attention.

dog was laying down and when i approched dog had whale eyes and as i got closer dog had lowered head down and as

i opened the kennel door wider for dog to get out she pancaked and i had to carry out and carry to next kennel.

spoke to potential adopter about her delay in surgery due to URI. Was told that we had noticed that she was limping and

upon looking at the radiographs on her RF there was a healing fracture. She was told that she would be going home on

carprofen and doxy for her to give at home. She still wanted to move forward with the adoption.

5/16/2026: Moved adopt today: He is very sweet. He has a wiggly body anytime I greet him or walk past. He leashed well and walked on a semi loose leash for an adopter. He plays with his enrichment and has been quite since moving over to South.

5/15/2026: very vocal in kennel after coming back inside

5/19/2026: Bruce painted in his kennel overnight, pacing back and forth at front of kennel as I came to leash him up. He began jumping up on kennel door as I attempted to leash him up. I tried tossing treats to distract him but this time did not distract his attention. I quickly leashed and he came out of kennel jumping on me. I was able to redirect with my treats. Once we got outside to the runs he walked wiggly following the treat trail. As I tried to walk him into the run as I tried to unleash he tried to bolt out of kennel. I was able to stop him with the leash still on but still tried bolting out multiple times. As I walked away he began jumping up crying in high pitch as I walked away. Once I walked back to kennel and placed him in kennel he seemed more relax.

5/18/2026: Bruce painted in kennel after feeding even though I spot cleaned kennel offer. As I approached he was nonstop jumping up and panting heavily. I tried to use treats to distract him in order to leash him up but did not work. Leashed him up and he walked out but began jumping up at me several times. I tossed down treats to distract. He followed the treats then, once in the run he was high pitched barking, crying and whining along with nonstop jumping up. As I tried to leash he tried to dart out. Once leashed I walked back to kennel using treats to prevent. Once placed in kennel he began behaving the same way.

5/17/2026: Bruce painted in kennel after feeding. Very wiggly and jumpy on kennel door and walls. I was able to leash and use my treats to redirect. Walked wiggly to the runs and remained wiggly while outside.

Rest in paradise 10 sweet babies who were only 2 months old. The super pups who were all euthanized for space at BARC in Houston. 😞💔🌈🕊️

YES THIS DESCRIPTION IS AI, I'M SORRY, I'M DISTRAUGHT AS ALL HECK AND I COULDN'T ARTICULATE MY THOUGHTS TO WRITE THIS ON MY OWN. I JUST NEEDED HELP WRITING IT OUT I AM NOT A BOT. IF YOU THINK I'M A BOT FEEL FREE TO BLOCK ME. If you don't like that I used AI to create this message, then you create the message yourself. You guys aren't the ones that network dogs all day everyday.

Today in Houston, 20 lives were lost at BARC for one reason: space.

*Mama Yuna* and her *9 neonate puppies* - Shiba Inu/Chow Chow mixes who never even got a name, never opened their eyes in a home.

*10 Super Pups* - 2-month-old Staffies, babies who should’ve been learning to play, not dying in a kennel.

They weren’t sick. They weren’t aggressive. They were out of time.

And “out of time” is what happens when we allow unchecked breeding to outpace compassion.

*I’m grieving. I’m furious. And I’m done asking nicely.*

If you’re in Houston or anywhere in the US, do this with me:

*1. Email your local politicians TODAY.*

Demand they shut down puppy mills. Demand laws that force backyard breeders to stop operating in the shadows.

*2. Make breeding a licensed, educated practice.*

If you want to breed animals, you should have to complete a college-level course and hold a degree/license in animal husbandry and welfare. No more accidental litters from people who “just wanted one litter.”

*3. Fund CVNR and subsidized spay/neuter NOW.*

Community Cat/Vet Neuter Return programs and low-cost spay/neuter for lower-income households are the only thing stopping this cycle. No funding = more dead puppies.

*4. Hold people accountable.*

If you own a pet and refuse to spay/neuter without a vet-approved reason, you should be fined $500 per unaltered pet. Enforcement is the only thing that changes behavior.

*This isn’t about hating breeders. It’s about hating dead babies.*

Mama Yuna and her 9. The 10 Super Pups. They died because we chose not to fund prevention, not to regulate breeding, not to care until it was too late.

*Don’t just “like” this and move on.*

Look up your city council member. Email them. Say their names. Make them uncomfortable until they act.

Rest easy, Mama Yuna. Rest easy, babies.

I’ll carry you with me until the laws change.

Zoey is outgoing, affectionate, and playful. She happily runs to greet people, walks nicely on leash, and stays close to Chloe. Shelter staff describe her as very sweet, social, and always ready to play.

Chloe is a little more timid at first, but warms up quickly with a wiggly body and gentle demeanor. She follows Zoey’s lead, enjoys toys and attention, and has been consistently described as sweet, quiet, and playful with her sister.

Together, they are loving puppy sisters who comfort each other, play constantly, and would thrive in a foster or forever home where they can continue growing up side by side.

12 week old Bambi on Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for Saturday, 5/16/26. Deadline at 1pm CST ID #A2075000 RESCUE ONLY

🆘️RESCUE ONLY🆘️

📌 PLEDGE INFORMATION 📌

🐾 Meet 12 week old puppy Bambi

ID #A2075000

12-week-old Chihuahua mix (brown/white)

5 pounds

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 5/14/2026

Status: Rescue Only — Very scared young puppy

⸻

Medical Notes:

Bambi is a very young puppy diagnosed with intestinal parasites, including hookworms (++) and whipworms (+++), with loose/mucoid stool noted in the kennel. He has been started on deworming treatment (Panacur and pyrantel protocols with scheduled repeats). Routine intake vaccines and flea prevention have been administered. Continued monitoring and strict parasite control are required due to his age and infection level.

⸻

Behavior Summary:

Bambi is extremely fearful and reactive, showing strong stress responses during handling. Staff report trembling, whale eyes, low growling, snapping, screaming, and air snapping when approached or when attempts were made to obtain samples or move him. Once securely held, he calms and can be handled, but his initial responses indicate intense fear and lack of trust. His behavior is consistent with a frightened neonatal/young puppy overwhelmed by the shelter environment.

📌 PLEDGE INFORMATION 📌

🐾 🍼 Meet Mom Yuna and her 9 newborn puppies

Mom Yuna: ID #A2074221

Her 9 puppies: ID #A2074207–#A2074215

Mom Yuna is 18 months old

She is a brown and white Shiba Inu/Chow Chow mix

43 pounds

Intake date: 5/11/2026

Status: Rescue only

⸻

Medical Notes: Mom Yuna is heartworm negative and currently up to date on DA2PP-V, rabies, bordetella, and deworming (Pyrantel). Fecal parasite treatment has been initiated. No major medical abnormalities reported beyond postpartum status and need for ongoing deworming and monitoring.

Puppies (9 neonates, ~5 days old) are all underweight/underage and fully dependent. No medical treatments beyond intake prevention care; all require immediate neonatal support, warmth, and feeding support through mother.

BEHAVIOR NOTES:

Mom Yuna is stressed and protective in kennel. She shows lunging, snapping toward leash, and vocalization when approached, especially during barrier or handling attempts. She has required long-leash handling and kennel covering for stress reduction. Behavior is consistent with a fearful, protective mother under severe kennel stress.

Puppies are fully dependent and require constant maternal contact.

ID #A2069099

15-week-old German Shepherd puppy • Female • 18 lbs

spayed on 4/29/26

Intake Date: 4/17/2026

⸻

Medical notes:

Baby Peggy came into the shelter after an owner-requested euthanasia intake and urgently needs a safe place to grow up. She has already been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and started on treatment for an upper respiratory infection after developing a cough. Despite being only a tiny puppy, Peggy has already spent nearly a month in the stressful shelter environment.

⸻

Behavior notes:

Peggy is a shy, sensitive puppy who warms up with patience and gentle encouragement. Staff describe her as having a wiggly body, wagging tail, and “smiling” face once she feels safe. She loves treats, plush toys, and baby talk, and she will slowly crawl over for pets before bouncing around happily and licking hands. The shelter can still overwhelm her at times, causing her to retreat or avoid eye contact, but her notes consistently show a sweet puppy trying hard to trust people and come out of her shell.

ID #A2069553

13-week-old German Shepherd mix • Male • 21 lbs

neutered on 5/8/26

Intake Date: 4/23/2026

⸻

Medical notes:

Tiny Maddox came into the shelter as a stray puppy and has already undergone neuter surgery (on 5/8/26), vaccinations, deworming, and treatment for an upper respiratory infection with green nasal discharge. He also experienced some nausea and vomiting after surgery, but staff noted it appeared to be temporary post-surgical gastritis and no further treatment was needed. Despite being only a baby, Maddox has spent weeks growing up in the stressful shelter environment.

⸻

Behavior notes:

Maddox is an energetic, vocal puppy with classic shepherd puppy behavior. He loves toys, plushies, treats, and attention from people, greeting staff with a wiggly body, wagging tail, and happy smile. Shelter stress has caused him to become reactive toward passing dogs, with barking and lunging noted in the kennel environment, but staff also describe a softer side — he can be timid, cower slightly during handling, and tremble when unsure, especially when left alone. With reassurance, pets, and baby talk, he settles and seeks comfort from people. Maddox is still just a young puppy who needs guidance, structure, and a calm environment to help him build confidence.

Intake Date: 5/10/2026

Status: rescue only

⸻

These seven tiny German Shepherd mix puppies are only 4 weeks old and should still be safely with their mother. Instead, they were abandoned behind a business with a bag of dog food and a note. They are currently listed as rescue only due to their extremely young age and fragile condition.

Medical notes describe them as “immature,” with weights ranging from only 2.5–3.2 pounds. They have received initial vaccines and deworming, but puppies this young urgently need specialized neonatal care, monitoring, and a safe foster or rescue placement to survive and thrive.

⸻

Because they are only babies, there are no formal behavior notes yet, but these puppies deserve the chance to grow up knowing warmth, comfort, and human kindness instead of a shelter kennel. At just four weeks old, they are vulnerable, dependent, and completely innocent in this situation.
