Trying to find a home for 3 kittens.

Preferably to someone who has owned kittens, or has cats, and bonus If you can take them together.

They're being weaned off the bottle, but still need to be bottle fed.

I posted a few weeks ago, hoping to have better luck this time.

Magda, a beautiful girl, friendly & affectionate loves people, but is very stressed in the shelter, she needs a kind owner & stable home to call her own ~A2097187~2yr old staffie mix girl on euth list 10/8 @2pm CT barc Houston TX adopt foster USA/CAN

🚨 [URGENT] [Houston, TX] Magda (#A2097187) — 2-Year-Old Staffordshire Mix Needs a Hold by 1 PM TODAY

💔 EUTHANASIA LIST — NO EXTENSIONS PER BARC 💔

Magda is a 2-year-old, 39.8-lb Staffordshire mix who urgently needs help. She is on the euthanasia list for Thursday, October 8, 2026, and MUST have a HOLD by 1 PM Houston time to have a chance at survival.

🏡 FOSTER NEEDED | RESCUE NEEDED | PLEDGES NEEDED

🐶 MEET MAGDA

- Name: Magda

- Shelter ID: A2097187

- Age: 2 years

- Breed: Staffordshire mix

- Sex: Female

- Weight: 39.8 lbs

- Heartworm: Negative

- Intake: Euthanasia request, September 21, 2026

- Location: BARC Animal Shelter, Houston, Texas

💗 MAGDA'S SHELTER NOTES

Magda's earlier shelter observations were encouraging:

🐾 She greeted staff at the front of her kennel with a neutral body.

🐾 She was easy to leash and repeatedly walked on a loose leash to and from the runs.

🐾 Staff noted a wagging tail during multiple interactions.

However, on October 5, her behavior changed significantly in the stressful shelter environment. She began forward lunging and jumping against her kennel door while barking at passing dogs and showing her teeth. Covering the kennel did not help her settle, and similar behavior was still noted on October 7.

This behavior appears to be particularly associated with the kennel environment and passing dogs. A calm foster environment with appropriate management could give her the opportunity to decompress and allow her behavior to be evaluated outside the shelter setting.

🏥 MEDICAL

- Heartworm negative! ❤️

- Dermatitis related to flea allergy dermatitis (FAD); Advantage was applied at intake.

- Hair loss was noted on her back end and feet.

- On October 6, she developed coughing and yellow nasal discharge. The shelter suspected canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD), moved her to the treatment room, and prescribed doxycycline for 10 days.

A foster should be prepared to follow veterinary instructions and appropriate precautions while she recovers.

❤️ HOW YOU CAN HELP

🏡 FOSTER: A local Houston-area foster could give Magda the chance to leave the stressful shelter environment.

🐕 RESCUE: Rescue organizations, please consider helping her if a suitable foster can be secured.

💰 PLEDGE: Comment with the amount you can pledge toward her care. Please do not honor pledges until the post is updated with confirmed rescue information and a freedom photo.

📢 SHARE: Please share with Houston-area fosters, rescues, and experienced adopters.

💔 Magda has shown that she can walk calmly on leash and interact appropriately with staff. The shelter environment appears to be bringing out increasingly stressed behavior around other dogs. She deserves the chance to decompress somewhere safe and have her behavior assessed in a less overwhelming setting.

Please help Magda find a foster or rescue hold before the 1 PM deadline. Even one share could connect her with the person she needs. 🐾❤️

💔 Aerith is terrified. Her shelter notes describe a very timid mama who pants in her kennel, is extremely hesitant to walk on leash and becomes flighty.

When she first arrived on 10/2 as a stray with her puppies, she became so frightened when staff approached that she thrashed and chewed at the restraint equipment and got loose. Staff had to use a catch pole to safely guide her into a kennel. Once inside, they were able to vaccinate her and take her picture with light muzzling.

On 10/6, she was still described as very timid, panting in her kennel and extremely hesitant to walk on leash.

This scared mama is trying to cope with an overwhelming shelter environment while also caring for eight tiny babies who are only about 3 weeks old. She is also heartworm high positive and will need treatment.

🆘 Meet Adorable Gretchen A661448! 2 y/o 44lbs GSD mix( HW-) Dog-Friendly/Co-kenneled, calm, sweet & loving medium sized girl, eager to please! Urgently seeking loving foster/forever home! 612 Canino Rd. Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State & Canada)

🚨 URGENT — GRETCHEN HAS BEEN WAITING SINCE 9/4! 💔
📍 Houston, TX | Foster or Adopter Needed

Sweet GRETCHEN has watched her kennel friends get adopted while she continues to wait. Now she desperately needs someone to choose HER. 🥺

💕 GRETCHEN is only 2 years old, 44.6 lbs, DOG FRIENDLY and heartworm NEGATIVE! She’s a calm, sweet, perfectly medium-sized girl with the most earnest little face. She seems eager to please and looks like she’s just waiting for someone to tell her what a good girl she is. 🥹

Unfortunately, there aren’t many shelter notes about her, but we DO know she’s dog friendly and has successfully shared her kennel with other dogs. 🐶 Her previous friend was adopted — and Gretchen was left behind waiting.

She has been at the shelter since 9/4, putting her well beyond 15 days and in the danger window for euthanasia due to length of stay.

💔 Please don’t let her keep getting overlooked. Foster her until she finds her forever family, or adopt her and make sure she never has to sleep in a shelter kennel again.

Adoption request for a 1 year old sweet cat (FIV+) Dubai UAE

Cora is FIV positive… Does that mean she doesn't deserve to live? 💔

FIV does not mean Cora cannot have a happy, loving life. FIV-positive cats can live for many years with proper care, good nutrition, veterinary checkups, and a safe indoor home. ❤️‍🩹

Cora has already been through more than any cat should. She was abandoned on a busy roadside, almost hit by a car, and even beaten when she tried to find safety. She was scared, vulnerable, and completely alone.

Now she has been rescued — but she still needs the most important thing of all:

🏠 A forever home.

Please… is there someone out there who will look past the word “FIV” and see Cora for the sweet girl she truly is? 🥺❤️

She deserves to know what it feels like to be safe.

She deserves a warm bed.

She deserves to be loved.

She deserves a family who will never abandon her again.

Cora is :

Spayed ✅

Vaccinated ✅

Dewormed ✅

Has her own passport ✅

Microchipped ✅

FIV+ / FILV (Negative)

Please help us find Cora her forever home 🙏

International adoption possible ❤️‍🩹

🚨 LILLY COULD DISAPPEAR AS SOON AS TOMORROW MORNING, 9/28. This sweet, calm young girl needs someone to make a plan for her TODAY. 🥹

📍 Houston, TX — Out of State Adoption IS Possible!

LILLY is the kind of Malinois who makes you wonder how she is still here. Her volunteer called her “such a doll” — calm, easygoing, loving and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. 💕

And now LILLY is alone. 💔 The friend you’ll see with her in the video has already LEFT with an adopter. We’re thrilled one of them made it out, but LILLY is still waiting — and tomorrow morning could be too late for someone to finally choose HER.

💛 LILLY did well on leash, happily sniffing her way around the grounds before gently exploring the play yard at her own pace. Just a lovely, calm girl taking everything in.

Once comfortable, she kept coming back for HEAD RUBS AND BELLY RUBS. 🥹 She happily accepted treats and clearly loved simply being with her person. Her volunteer thought she would make a wonderful companion — and it’s easy to see why.

LILLY is only 3 years old, 53 lbs and HEARTWORM NEGATIVE. She’s young, beautiful, affectionate and remarkably easygoing. She deserves to follow her friend out that front door.

🚨 EUTHANASIA CAN HAPPEN TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE THE SHELTER OPENS. LILLY arrived 9/8 and is now in the danger window. She needs a plan TODAY.

🚨 URGENT: DEADLINE NOW🚨 SCHEDULED TO BE EUTHANIZED SIMPLY FOR BEING DEAF. After only 6 DAYS at Devore, Maxamus's life is now at risk. 💔 Being deaf is not a reason to die.

MASTIFFS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER — DEVORE WILL EUTHANIZE THEM ALL WITHIN DAYS 💔

One by one. Each day, another is marked for death.

⚠️ THIS PATTERN MUST BE INVESTIGATED. There appears to be a deeply troubling pattern at this shelter involving large-breed dogs being given as little as 1–8 days to find rescue or adoption before facing euthanasia. That is not a genuine chance at life.

⚠️ There are also serious concerns that some dogs may be quickly labeled “aggressive” or “sick,” potentially accelerating their placement on the euthanasia list before they have a fair opportunity to be saved.

🐾 Maxamus #A852002 is a 4-year-old Great Dane mix, and he is now urgent and at risk.Locared in Kennel: D23

⋆✨️⋆ FRIENDLY - GOOD WITH DOGS. Maxamus came into the shelter with a female dog named Xena. Xena was adopted today, but Maxamus is still here — and now his time is running out.

Maxamus is presumed deaf. Shelter staff noted that he does not respond to sound, head turns, or ear movement, although a BAER test would be needed to fully confirm hearing loss. He is also being treated for an upper respiratory infection after developing sneezing and green nasal discharge. Despite this, he is still eating and drinking normally, has successfully been kenneled with another male dog, and has been friendly with staff.

🚨 URGENT:DEADLINE NOW: ONLY GIVEN 4 DAYS - UNACCEPTABLE!! !! MASTIFFS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER — DEVORE WILL EUTHANIZE THEM ALL WITHIN DAYS 💔‼️

One by one. Each day, another is marked for death.

⚠️ THIS PATTERN MUST BE INVESTIGATED. There appears to be a deeply troubling pattern at this shelter involving large-breed dogs being given as little as 1–8 days to find rescue or adoption before facing euthanasia. That is not a genuine chance at life.

⚠️ There are also serious concerns that some dogs may be quickly labeled “aggressive” or “sick,” potentially accelerating their placement on the euthanasia list before they have a fair opportunity to be saved.

🐾 Calvin ID #A852136 brown brindle, unaltered male, who looks like a Mastiff mix.Eestimated to be 5 years old. More Info: I am in kennel D 71.

📆 Arrived at the shelter on 9/18. Available 9/23. - ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA TODAY - THAT IS JUST 4 DAYS 😡

SICK W/ URI - It’s concerning that so many large-breed dogs are being labeled as sick or aggressive‼️

⋆✨️⋆ Notes: Calvin has dental cavity that cannot currently be fully examined because he is in so much pain. He is also underweight and has an abnormal gait. The shelter is feeding him wet food and monitoring his weight to track his progress.

Despite everything he is going through, Calvin was the sweetest boy during his visit. His tail never stopped wagging, his demeanor was calm, and his eyes seemed to be asking for someone to finally love him and care for him.

Calvin appears to have been neglected and deserves so much more than what he has experienced.

💙 Say hello to Peanut Butter (A603633) who is the biggest sweetheart and a super friendly guy. He is easy to leash, allows full handling, is affectionate and gets along with all people and all other dogs. Peanut is 4 years old and 60 lbs.  This poor boy has a deadline of 5 pm Thursday, October 1st because he has a wound in his left thigh/hip area and cannot be treated at the shelter.  He needs to see a full-service vet to get the help he needs.  Please consider opening your heart and home for this sweet boy.  He is a perfect gentleman and is available for adoption (or can also be fostered through a rescue).

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?animalid=A603633

💙 This is Thor (A605888). He is 9 years old and 50 lbs.  He is a beautiful sweet and friendly guy that has a deadline of 5 pm Thursday, October 1st. While he was being neutered a mass was discoveredon his lower abdomen.  Thor needs to see a full-service vet to get the help he needs. He is friendly, walks well on a leash and is currently sharing kennel 25 with Akeno (neutered male dog). This gentleman deserves to get love and help. Hoping someone is able to give this sweetheart a wonderful home.  He is available for adoption but can also be fostered through a rescue.

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?animalid=A605888

💙 Sweet Jimmy (A604135) is 6 years old and 75 lbs.  Jimmy is wonderful and kind, he allows full handling and seems to be house trained.  Poor Jimmy suffers from chronic allergies and cannot be treated at the shelter.  Sadly, Jimmy has a deadline of 6 am Sunday, October 4th because of his allergies (unimaginable). Jimmy has not been paired at the shelter but will be able to live with canine siblings with separation, slow, appropriate and supervised introductions. Please give Jimmy the happy ending he deserves by adopting or fostering him for a rescue.

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?animalid=A604135

💙 Meet precious Dozer (A544391) who has been in the shelter for far too long and now has a deadline of 6 am Sunday, October 4th.  Dozer is 5 years old and weighs 57 lbs.  He is easily handled, very friendly and affectionate and easily paired (he is currently sharing kennel 12 with Miss Ruby, a spayed female).   He has a bit of skin allergies but certainly does not deserve to be euthanized for that.  Dozer deserves a family to love him — and some canine siblings!  Please consider adopting or fostering Dozer for a rescue.  He will be an added delight to any family!

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?animalid=A544391
 
Please share Peanut Butter, Thor, Jimmy and Dozer. Please help SAVE them 🙏❤️
