We are a volunteer network dedicated to helping at-risk dogs. We are not affiliated with BARC. We connect at-risk animals at the BARC shelter with the adopters, fosters, and rescue organizations needed to save their lives. We can help coordinate out-of-state adoption through approved 501(c)3 rescues. Please send the OP a Chat invite or send moderator mail to r/findfostersfordogs (it's under the see-more tab for the group) for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.
🆘 1 year 7 month old Shanti is on the euthanasia list 9/30. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘
⏰ Shanti must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or she will lose her life.🥺 We need pledges and a local foster or adopter for a rescue to help.💰🏡
🚩 Please do not honor pledges until the post has been updated with rescue information and a freedom picture. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
8/6/2026: Shanti greeted staff at the kennel door with a wagging tail and slightly open mouth. She allowed leashing and walked in zigzags to and from the potty yard. In her kennel, she waited by the door when she heard someone enter the row.
8/10/2026: Shanti was wiggly with tappy toes and huffing at the front of the kennel in anticipation of a walk. She kept her kennel clean overnight and walked with a semi-tight leash ahead of staff. She stopped short of entering the trailer, so staff picked her up and carried her inside.
8/17/2026: Shanti stood at the front of the kennel with a low wagging tail while looking up at staff. She walked on a tight leash with her tail up. On the way back, she tried to chase birds in the parking lot while eating treats off the ground, then walked semi-loosely once the birds flew off.
9/14/2026: Shanti stood at the front of the kennel with a loose body, wagging tail and soft open mouth. She walked on a loose leash and accepted treats when offered. She remained calm and quiet in her kennel.
9/21/2026: Shanti was pacing around her kennel and occasionally sat in front when someone approached. She was offered a Kong to occupy her because she was consistently vocalizing in front of her kennel.
9/22/2026: While in the runs, Shanti rushed up to another dog close to the fence and began vocalizing toward them. She was placed on Adopt Eval.
9/25/2026: Shanti greeted staff at the front of the kennel with a relaxed body, open mouth, fast-wagging tail and soft eyes. Once leashed, she walked semi-loosely outside to the runs. She was easily leashed and returned to her kennel. She was constantly crying in the kennel, so it was covered with a blanket.
9/27/2026: Shanti had been very destructive toward her bedding and vocalized toward dogs as they passed her in the outside runs. She was given extra enrichment but ate it and then returned to ripping up her bedding. She presented with dilated eyes, a high wagging tail and forward body and was placed on Adopt Eval.
