9 dogs on today's euthanasia list at BARC Houston are extremely urgent! 32 were originally on the list today, but thankfully have been saved, with a few extended. Need a foster or adopter by the end of the day! Can be euthanized at any time after 1 PM CT.

These are their names and a brief background. You can find out more about them on their Facebook posts. All dogs are deserving of reliable and loving homes! Please reach out if you are able to provide a temporary bridge to their forever home or be their forever home if they sound like a good match!

• A2092629 Bella: Rescue Only, 4-year-old GSD mix, medium-sized girl at 56 lbs. She is confused and distressed in the shelter environment. She's currently HW High+.
• A2092022 Bono Box: 2-year-old Staffordshire mix. Amazing notes and ready to go! Happy, affectionate, and playful boy who greets people with a wagging tail and wiggly body. He is easy to leash, walks well, and enjoys treats, cuddles, and attention. He has also shown playful interest in other dogs!
• A2091700 Choppo: 2-year-old Staffie Mix. Friendly, wiggly young pup with the cutest ears! Loves play and affection. Heartworm negative, non-reactive to other dogs (pays them little attention when passing by kennels. He loves life!
• A2093934 Echo: 13-month-old German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever Mix who greets staff with a relaxed body, soft eyes, and fast-wagging tail. Loves baby talk! He is easy to leash and walks well to/from the runs. Had an adopter in rural Canada, but no rescue can transport her in time! He's only been at BARC for a few days and is already out of time!
• A1933798 Esther: Rescue Only, 6-year-old Labrador Retriever Mix who came in as an owner surrender and is HW positive (high). Noted to have mild right hindlimb lameness while walking, with a slight bunny hop. She has been sweet and greets staff with a gentle wagging tail! She was diagnosed with right hindlimb lameness. She has already escaped death at BARC 2 years ago to be returned two years later through no fault of her own. Rescue will cover expenses.
• A2093230 Mack/Mick: 3-year-old Staffordshire Mix. Popular guy! He’s a very good boy, loads of fun! He is very people- and dog-friendly! He would make an excellent running or walking buddy. He loves to chase the ball; just a fun-loving dog. Medium-sized guy at 50.8lbs who is HW Low Positive.
• A2093865 Mickey: 2-year-old Staffie Mix. Loves human attention and being dressed up! Heartworm negative and not spayed yet. She would most likely need slow, intros or to be an only dog. She growls at male dogs when walking by kennels. She’s not spayed, so potentially making sure males stay away from her, but it’s hard to know in the shelter environment. She has great volunteer notes and has been described as super sweet.
• A2089651 Ryder: 2-year-old  Staffordshire Mix who came in as a stray. Described as the best boy who is a fantastic listener. Great on a leash and highly treat-motivated! He's a healthy medium-sized man at 54.4lbs and is ready to go! He's HW-  and already neutered.
• A2089676 Steve-O: 1-year-old Boxer Mix who is a staff favorite and has been described as a great listener who loves tricks and would do amazing with a backyard! He's very affectionate and loves giving kisses. He is a healthy boy who is heartworm-negative and ready to go!

If adopting locally and the dog is heartworm positive, BARC will cover heartworm treatment with the purchase of 6 months of preventative through the shelter ($40-60 and cheaper than you can get anywhere on the market!).

Must be picked up today if fostering through BARC. If fostering through a rescue, an additional day can be secured. Please let us know if you need a rescue recommendation that can work quickly to save them. Fostering is free; all expenses paid!

🚨 RESCUE ONLY 🚨

🩷🐶 Annie #A2094390

9/4 Stray - Field | Staffordshire Mix | Female | 2 Years | 42.6 lbs | Heartworm High Positive

💜 Volunteer Notes:

Poor Annie is absolutely terrified at the shelter. She’s the type of dog who really breaks my heart because you can tell she’s trying to make herself as small and unnoticeable as possible 💔. She was brought in as a stray but was wearing a very worn, dirty collar during intake, and she’s clearly had puppies fairly recently. Her body shows all the signs that in her short life, she’s not had it easy 😞. Despite this, Annie shows no signs of aggression whatsoever. She allowed us to pick her up and carry her to and from the outdoor run. She met another female dog with no issues. She’s simply terrified. I cant say with certainty, but her soft eyes and gentle disposition tell me there’s an absolute sweetheart hiding behind all of that fear. She needs a calm environment, decompression time, and an experienced foster. She needs a chance to show her real self. I really hope a rescue gives her that chance!

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Annie is very timid and frightened, with a trembling body, tucked tail, pinned ears and whale eyes. She was hesitant to walk on leash and was carried to a new kennel.

🙏 Annie is frightened and dealing with a painful paw injury. She needs someone willing to look past her fear and give her the time and medical care she needs.

🔷 Intake:

She came into BARC as a stray from the field on 9/4.

📝 Shelter Notes:

9/5: She had a trembling body, tucked tail, whale eyes and pinned-down ears. She would not walk on the leash, so staff muzzled and carried her into a new kennel.

9/4: Described as timid.

🚑 Medical Notes:

- 9/4: She was noted to have a cleft nasal septum, which did not require treatment. Her left front third digit was swollen and red, with wounds and scars noted on the leg. Differential diagnoses for the toe included an abscess or fracture. Radiographs were recommended if she moves to adoption.

- She was prescribed Clavamox for 14 days, Rimadyl for 14 days and Tramadol for 7 days.

- She is HIGH HEARTWORM POSITIVE.

- Received routine intake vaccines, deworming and flea prevention.

Summary:

Heartworm HIGH POSITIVE.

Annie has a swollen, painful third digit on her left front paw with wounds/scarring. Possible abscess or fracture; X-rays are recommended if she moves to adoption.

She is currently prescribed Clavamox, Carprofen and Tramadol for the injury.

Cleft nasal septum noted; no treatment needed.

She received DA2PP-V, Bordetella and Rabies vaccines, deworming, Pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

💖 Annie arrived at BARC frightened, injured and completely overwhelmed. In addition to a painful swollen toe that may be fractured or abscessed, she is high heartworm positive. Her very limited behavior notes describe a deeply scared dog — trembling, tail tucked tightly, ears pinned back and showing whale eyes. She was so frightened that she couldn't bring herself to walk on leash and had to be carried to another kennel. With only a single day between her intake and latest evaluation, she has barely had a chance to understand where she is or what is happening to her. This scared girl needs a quiet, patient foster who can give her somewhere safe to decompress while she receives the medical care she needs.

DOUGIE has been waiting since 7/31 — and this sweet boy desperately needs someone to choose him. 💔

Look into those gorgeous icy-blue eyes. 🥺🩵 DOUGIE knows he needs help.

He was friendly with the animal control officer who picked him up and has shown himself to be a calm, incredibly sweet boy. He’s people-friendly and takes treats gently. 🤎🐾

DOUGIE shouldn’t be spending his days waiting in a shelter kennel. He deserves a 🏡 home where he is loved, cherished and finally knows what it feels like to belong to someone.

At only 3 years old, he has so much life ahead of him. Please don’t let his story end here simply because no one chose him in time.

🙏 DOUGIE NEEDS A FOSTER, ADOPTER OR RESCUE NOW. Even if you can’t take him yourself, please SHARE, COMMENT & PLEDGE to help get his face in front of the person who can. One share really can save a life.

Bio

Rocky is a sweet and gentle guy who seems to enjoy calm interactions and petting once he has time to warm up. From our volunteer observations, he tends to be tolerant of other dogs but prefers a laid-back environment over rowdy play. He's treat-motivated and takes snacks gently, showing his kind nature despite being a bit nervous in new situations. Contact us about Rocky today!

🎉 RESCUE PENDING🎉

Once again, fear is being mistaken for aggression—and a Cane Corso may pay the ultimate price.

This dog deserves a fair assessment, patience, and a chance to decompress—not a death sentence based on fear. Sadly, similar cases involving frightened Cane Corsos being placed at risk have been documented repeatedl.

📢 Please SHARE. We need to get the right people involved before it’s too late.

🐾 Mazi ID: #A2288777

Cane Corso • Female• Blue brindle

Approximately 3 years old.

https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/LACT3/A2288777

📆 Arrived at the shelter since Aug 09, 2026.

Notes:

✨️ Mazie is shy—not dangerous!!!

She arrived less than two weeks ago and is making clear progress. She’s allowing pets, taking treats, enjoying playgroup, and doing well with other dogs. During her most recent outing, she went from fearful and hesitant to offering her paw, accepting full-body pets, nudging for more affection, and allowing her collar to be changed without issue.

If the at-risk policy requires a behavioral decline, where is the decline? Her behavior is improving.

She’s scared and needs time, patience, and confidence-building—not a death sentence. Her progress should count for something.

Mastiff • Female

79.10 lbs, black and brown

https://24petconnect.com/RVSDRescue/Details/RVSD/A1928902

Approximately 2.1 yrs old & 79lbs.

📆 Arrived at the shelter on JuL 22, 2026. Video in comments.

✨️Behavior Summary: Reason for deadline is simply because she is shy and retreats to the back of her kennel. Apple appears to be scared and shy while in her kennel, often retreating and barking.

👉 However ,Apple has shown significant improvement outside the kennel, —warming up to handlers, accepting affection, soliciting attention, and becoming playful. She participated appropriately in playgroup, walked well on leash, and re-kenneled without issue.

🩺 There are no significant medical concerns documented. The primary observation is that the dog is shy and needs a gentle, slow approach.

🆘 EMERGENCY! DUNKIN NEEDS RESCUE PLACEMENT BY 5PM TODAY, TUESDAY 8/11 DUE TO MEDICAL 🆘

‼️ Dunkin needs FOSTER, RESCUE & PLEDGES.

‼️Pledges will help gain rescue interest as will a foster offer. Fostering is free!‼️

🚨‼️If you can FOSTER Dunkin for a rescue, please dm /u/biancamission here on Reddit ASAP.

📍 Orange County Animal Services, ORLANDO, FL (2769 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839).

🚨🚨DEADLINE 8/11 - ORLANDO FL 🚨🚨

Due Out By: 8/11/2026 5:00:00 PM

💙 DUNKIN #A602371 - This dog is a neutered male. This dog is currently located in CLIND02. This dog weighs approximately 10.5 lbs.,is 3Y and has tested negative for heartworm disease. This dog is being posted to rescue due to other reasons.

***NEEDS PLACEMENT BY 8/11***

Meet Dunkin! He was adopted from us last week but was surrendered back today because his medical condition has continued to get worse. He was first noted to have sores and ulcers on the paw pads on Friday. Since then, the condition has progressed significantly. Today, there were severe sores, inflammation, and areas where the paw pads are peeling off on all four legs. There were also sores between the toes and around the paws, as well as sores and inflammation on both elbows. The condition is affecting multiple areas of the paws and legs, with redness, swelling, ulceration, and loss of the normal skin and paw-pad tissue. We are concerned that there may be an underlying serious medical condition causing these changes such as an autoimmune disease, a liver-related skin condition, cancer, or another disease. The dog will need additional testing to determine the cause. This may include bloodwork, skin biopsies, or additional testing by veterinary specialists. Treatment could be extensive and may require medications for several weeks or potentially for the rest of the dogs life. He has more medical concerns than we can handle and manage here and needs placement ASAP

Shelter link: not available

👉If you are a rescue and can help Dunkin, please email the shelter at: Rescue.Coordinator@ocfl.net.

👉 If you would like to FOSTER Dunkin for a rescue, please also email the shelter at Rescue.Coordinator@ocfl.net and dm /u/biancamission here on Reddit.

If you would like to contact OCAS Rescue Partners directly, this is the link to the List of rescue partners for Orange County Animal Services (Orlando, FL): http://www.ocnetpets.com/ProgramsServices/Rescues/RescuePartners.aspx

👉 PLEDGES are also needed to help a rescue help Dunkin. If you can pledge for him, please post a comment below with your pledge amount.

Please share Dunkin. Please help SAVE him 🙏❤️

Once outside, Trooper is described as very playful, running and playing along the fence line with neighboring dogs. He has also been able to settle and return to his kennel without issues on some walks.

🆘 Scared, but friendly & sweet 11 month old GSD Mix girl on the euthanasia list Saturday, 8/8. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

⏰ Pippa #A2088508 must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or she will lose her life.🥺

🩷🐶 Pippa #A2088508

7/29 Stray | German Shepherd Mix | Female | 11 Months | 38.0 lbs | Heartworm Negative

🩷 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Pippa #A2088508. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

7/31/26: Showed her belly, wagged her tail, and happily zoomed around the runs after being carried outside.

8/2/26: Initially scurried out of her kennel with an extremely low body posture and crawled to the runs. With baby talk she continued walking and returned the same way. Staff described her as very sweet but timid.

8/3/26: Very timid and submissive after being moved for adoption. She crawled to handlers, froze frequently, rolled onto her side or back, licked her lips, and responded positively to treats and gentle encouragement.

8/4/26: Approached with worried eyes and a lowered head. She froze, crawled, scurried between staff's legs, and pancaked repeatedly from fear. Despite this, she responded to treats, baby talk, and gentle petting, eventually relaxing enough to walk on her own. She sought comfort by leaning against people and hugging their legs.

8/5/26: Friendly and wiggly with a wagging tail and soft face. She army crawled in zigzags during her walk and later pulled apart the sheet covering her kennel.

8/6/26: Pippa greeted staff with a wiggly body, wagging tail, and soft open mouth. Although she frequently pancaked and army crawled while walking, she continued trying her best and eventually pulled forward on leash. She became distressed when separated from another dog, vocalizing nonstop from the other side of the wall.

💖 Pippa is a gentle, affectionate puppy whose fear is completely overshadowing her true personality. Beneath her timid exterior is a sweet girl who melts for baby talk, treats, gentle pets, and human kindness. She seeks comfort by leaning into people, wagging her tail, and even giving happy zoomies once she feels safe. At only 11 months old, Pippa deserves the chance to build confidence in a loving home instead of losing her life because she's scared.

🩺 Medical Notes:

Heartworm negative.

Medical exam: Normal.

Weighs 38.0 lbs.

Received DA2PP, Bordetella, Rabies, deworming, and preventatives.

🆘 Gentle, owner surrendered 4 year old Staffie Mix boy Homie is on the euthanasia list Saturday, 8/8. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

⏰ Homie #A2088573 must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or he will lose his life.🥺

💙🐶 Homie #A2088573

8/5 Euthanasia Request | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 4 Years | 100.0 lbs | Heartworm Positive (Low Positive)

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

💙 Volunteer Notes:

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/6/26: Homie greeted staff while avoiding eye contact but kept his kennel clean overnight. He refused to walk and required two staff members to carry him to a clean kennel. Once inside, he quietly rested on his blanket.

8/7/26: While attempting to leash Homie, he immediately laid down on the floor. Staff performed a light muzzle and tried to pick him up, but he pulled back and pancaked on the floor.

💖 Homie is a gentle giant who appears completely overwhelmed by the shelter environment after being abandoned by his owner. Rather than showing aggression, he shuts down with fear-avoiding eye contact, refusing to walk, and quietly lying on his blanket. Despite his fear, he has kept his kennel clean and allows staff to handle him, even when they must carry him. Dogs like Homie often blossom once they're out of the stressful shelter environment. This sweet, frightened boy deserves the chance to feel safe again instead of losing his life because he's too scared to cope.

🩺 Medical Notes:

Heartworm positive (low positive).

Otherwise appears medically normal.

Weighs 100.0 lbs.

Received Rabies, DA2PP, Bordetella, deworming, and preventatives.
