🎥 VIDEOS IN THE COMMENTS
💜 Volunteer Notes:
📝 Shelter Notes:
10/5: Blue greeted staff with tapping feet and a high-sweeping tail. He was easy to leash and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs. During kennel cleaning, he began barking forward at another dog passing by.
10/6: Blue was very vocal around people but friendly and attempted to jump up on staff. He walked well on the leash.
10/8: Blue was very wiggly when first approached, with a fast-wagging tail and soft, open mouth, his tongue hanging out as he walked outside to the runs.
10/8: During the afternoon, customers walking past his kennel caused Blue to bark forward while backing away and cowering with dilated eyes.
10/9: Blue was heavily vocal throughout the day as customers passed through the row. His kennel was covered, and he was given extra enrichment.
10/10: Blue greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a loose body, dilated pupils and open mouth. His kennel remained covered. He barked behind his kennel cover when people walked past.
10/11: Blue was quiet in his kennel and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs during cleaning.
🩺 Medical Notes:
10/2: Blue weighed 38 lbs at intake. His medical examination was recorded as normal.
He received routine vaccinations, deworming and flea prevention. His heartworm test was NEGATIVE.
No additional medical concerns or treatments were documented in the provided records.
💖 Blue is just 2 years old, and shelter life is already taking a toll on him. This adorable boy has shown staff his friendly, wiggly side with happy feet, a wagging tail and easy leash walks. But the constant activity around his kennel appears to frighten and overwhelm him. Blue needs a patient foster or adopter and a quieter environment where he can finally relax and feel safe. Please don't let this young boy's story end at BARC. 💙

Volunteer Notes:
We were not able to meet Velvet. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!
Shelter Notes:
10/7: Velvet was vocalizing nonstop in her kennel and tried to pull down the covering placed over it, shredding the material. She reacted to another dog near her kennel by biting and tugging at the kennel door. Once leashed, she pulled toward other dogs while vocalizing. Staff attempted to redirect her with treats, but she showed no interest.
10/5: Velvet was sitting at the front of her kennel with soft eyes, a low-wagging tail, loose body and ears up. She walked on a loose leash and was friendly toward staff going to and from the outside runs. While in the runs, she sat near the gate and began vocalizing whenever staff passed her kennel. On the way back, Velvet saw another dog and tried to pull toward it. She ignored treats and continued pulling until staff used a muzzle and carried her back to her kennel.
10/4: Velvet greeted staff with soft eyes, a low-wagging tail, loose body and ears up. She walked on a loose leash and was friendly toward staff going to and from the outside runs. While in the runs, she sat near the gate and vocalized whenever staff passed her kennel.
10/3: Velvet was sitting at the front of her kennel with soft eyes, a low-wagging tail, loose body and ears up. She walked on a loose leash and was friendly toward staff. Later, a volunteer walked her and reported that she was very friendly and welcoming toward children and adults in the runs.
10/2: Velvet was very vocal during morning kennel activities. She walked on a semi-tight leash and occasionally showed interest in treats.
9/30: Velvet greeted staff at the front of her kennel with a loose, wiggly body, soft eyes and a fast-wagging tail. She was easily leashed and walked outside to the runs on a loose leash. She was easily leashed and returned to her kennel.
9/27: Velvet greeted staff with a fast-wagging tail and wiggly body. Staff noted that she has a lot of energy and becomes excited when there is an opportunity for interaction. She jumped on her kennel door, wagged her tail and whined excitedly. On leash, she zigzagged to and from the potty yard. Inside her kennel, she waited by the door for interaction.
9/26: Velvet was whining in her kennel and bolted out during morning cleaning. She had a wiggly body, wagging tail and jumped onto the kennel door. Once leashed, she walked on a loose leash.
9/25: Velvet was vocalizing in a high-pitched tone during morning cleaning and while interacting with a customer.
9/20: Velvet barked constantly in a high pitch and jumped inside her kennel, knocking over her water bowl. Staff also noted that she was quiet when approached and appeared eager for attention. She accepted petting but began barking again when staff walked away. She was described as friendly overall.
9/19: Velvet was consistently screaming whenever staff walked past her kennel. Covering the kennel did not stop the vocalizing, and she attempted to pull the covering inside.
9/17: Velvet was described as extremely friendly, sweet and submissive. She rolled over to expose her belly and was gentle with staff.
Medical Notes:
10/5: Velvet weighed 31.4 lbs. Staff reported nasal discharge and coughing. She was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection (URI) and moved to the treatment room. Doxycycline 150 mg once daily for 10 days was prescribed.
10/1: Medical examination documented as normal.
9/28: Velvet was spayed. Her surgical record noted that she was in heat at the time of surgery. No complications were documented.
9/17: Velvet weighed 31 lbs at intake. Her initial medical examination was normal, and she tested heartworm negative. She received routine vaccinations, deworming and parasite prevention.
Velvet is a young, affectionate 31-pound girl who loves people but appears to be struggling tremendously with the confinement and stimulation of the shelter environment. Her notes consistently describe a friendly, wiggly dog who greets handlers with soft eyes and a wagging tail, enjoys affection and has walked nicely on a loose leash on numerous occasions. A volunteer even described her as friendly and welcoming toward both children and adults in the outdoor runs. Velvet would benefit from an experienced foster or adopter who can provide a calm, structured environment, allow her time to decompress and manage her safely away from other dogs while her behavior is assessed. She is also receiving treatment for an upper respiratory infection. Underneath all the noise and stress, Velvet has repeatedly shown a sweet, affectionate side that deserves a chance to thrive outside the shelter.

Volunteer Notes:
We were not able to meet Teddy. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!
Shelter Notes:
10/7: Teddy was observed barking forward and hitting his kennel door when other dogs walked past.
10/5: Teddy greeted staff with a soft face and was easily leashed. He walked loosely beside the handler with a wiggly body. When passing another kennel, he approached the door with an open mouth, dilated eyes and perked ears.
10/4: Teddy was calm and quiet during morning feeding and cleaning. He greeted staff at his kennel door with a relaxed body and wagging tail. He walked on a loose leash and remained by the handler's side, occasionally looking up or leaning into them. He was somewhat vocal in the runs but calmed down once back inside.
10/3: Teddy was calm and quiet during morning feeding and cleaning. He greeted staff with a relaxed body, mid-wagging tail and soft smiling mouth. He walked on a loose leash and remained by the handler's side. Once in the outdoor kennel, he became jumpy and ran around. He returned inside on a loose leash without issues.
10/2: Teddy was calm and quiet in his kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. He greeted staff with a wiggly body, fast-wagging tail and soft open mouth. He walked on a loose leash to and from the runs. Once outside, he became very wiggly and began jumping and pawing at the fence toward staff.
10/1: Teddy was slightly vocal during morning activities but greeted staff with a relaxed body, wagging tail and soft smiling mouth. He walked on a loose leash, entered and exited his kennel without issues.
9/30: Teddy greeted staff with a wiggly body, mid-wagging tail and soft open mouth. He walked on a loose leash and entered and exited his kennel without issues.
9/29: Teddy continued to vocalize as other dogs passed his kennel. He was easily leashed and walked loosely beside staff with a neutral body. When passing kennels, he peered around the covers with dilated eyes, perked ears and a curled tail.
9/28: Teddy was vocal during cleaning as other dogs and customers passed. He was easily leashed and walked loosely. On his way back inside, he froze in front of his kennel and had to be carried in. Once inside, he quietly rested on his blanket with a soft face.
9/26: Teddy approached staff with low ears and a wagging tail when spoken to gently. He maintained a loose body and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs.
9/25: Teddy greeted staff with a neutral body and wagging tail. He walked on a loose leash to and from the runs.
9/23: Teddy greeted staff with a neutral body and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs.
9/22: Teddy was lying down in his kennel with dilated eyes when staff approached. He allowed himself to be leashed and walked loosely, occasionally stopping near doorways. Inside his kennel, he rested quietly on his blanket throughout the day.
9/21: Teddy was lying down when staff approached and allowed himself to be leashed but initially would not walk. Staff carried him to a clean kennel.
9/20: Teddy had to be carried during his initial intake.
Medical Notes:
10/6: Teddy weighed 60 lbs. Staff reported coughing, clear nasal discharge and sneezing. He was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection (URI) and moved to the treatment room. Doxycycline 250 mg once daily for 10 days was prescribed.
10/4: Teddy's medical examination was documented as normal. He received a DA2PP-V booster, deworming and Pyrantel.
9/20: Teddy's initial medical examination was documented as normal. He tested heartworm negative and received routine vaccinations, deworming and parasite prevention.
Teddy is a sweet, affectionate 3-year-old boy who has shown a consistently gentle and loving side with his handlers, despite some signs of stress and reactivity in the shelter environment. His notes repeatedly describe a relaxed, wiggly dog who greets staff with a soft expression and wagging tail, walks beautifully on a loose leash and often stays right beside his handler. He has even been observed leaning into staff for affection and looking up at them while walking. While Teddy generally does well with people, he has recently become more reactive when other dogs pass his kennel, including barking and hitting the kennel door. These behaviors may be influenced by the stress of confinement, but his interactions with other dogs would need careful assessment. Teddy would benefit from a patient, experienced foster or adopter who can offer a calm environment, allow him to decompress and provide appropriate separation from other dogs while his behavior is evaluated. He is also receiving treatment for an upper respiratory infection. Teddy has shown that he can be a loving, attentive companion, and he deserves the opportunity to experience life outside the shelter.

💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
Vol 1: This beautiful brindle boy has been at barc for almost a month and I truly cannot understand why! He came in as a euthanasia request which breaks my heart that someone gave up on him. He’s just a baby. Andrew was so happy to see me when I approached his kennel. He got all wiggly, fast wagging his tail, and gave me the biggestttt stretch. He’s very well behaved for his age - no jumping or pulling on leash, just polite like the gentleman he is. He knows sit, takes treats gentle, and absolutely adores being pet. I sat with him for a while outside and he snuck in many kisses. He’s also patient, allowing me to put on a silly headband and he barely made a fuss. I introduced him to two other male pups and he was wonderful with both of them. He had the happiest grin on his face the entire time we were outside and it broke my heart to bring him back to his kennel. He is heartworm positive but because he’s so relaxed I think he would do well with restricted activity. Although there is always a possibility this boy has some zoomies in him. I hope he can be saved

💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
This little girl is definitely a sweet, loving girl. She’s so tiny too. I adore her ears. She was pretty anxious to get out of her kennel today. I was able to leash her and we went for a walk and then we went into the run. She 100% enjoyed treats and actually went back into my bag to try to grab the rest of them. She knew that I had them around my waist in a little fanny pack and she kept trying to get into that as well. I can’t blame her. She’s a tiny little thing. She could stand to put on a little bit of weight. I think that she was just neglected by her previous owner. She has a mark around the front of her neck that looks like maybe her collar was a little too tight or embedded into her skin at one point. She came in with another dog that has the exact same wound except it’s a little worse than hers. I think it’s a tragedy that somebody would treat such a sweet, innocent little dog like this in that way. She wants nothing but love and you can see that right off the bat. She did great around other dogs. She does pull on the leash a little bit when we’re walking towards the dogs, but I think it’s because she wants to play and be around other dogs. Hopefully she can find her forever home along with the other dogs that she came in with.

9/10 Euth Req | Husky Mix | Neutered Male | 10M | 38lbs | HW-

🎥videos in the comments!
💜 Volunteer Notes:

I am absolutely shocked this boy is on the euthanasia list tomorrow. Cheetos is a beautiful, 10 month old husky mix who’s healthy, already fixed, and clearly ready for a family. He was surrendered as a euthanasia request and I truly don’t understand why. He’s the sweetest little baby in all the land, and I’m completely in love with him and his cute little ears. Cheetos was so happy when I approached his kennel - tail wagging nonstop, full body wiggles & the happiest little smile. He walked wonderfully on leash, always checking in, super polite. He knows sit, loves treats, and has that perfect mix of puppy sweetness and calm energy. He’s just one of those dogs who seems to smile. He met two male dogs and did really well, he’s friendly and respectful. I truly feel he’s everything people say they want in a dog. He’s the definition of a good boy. I know someone out there is going to fall in love with him. Losing him would be so heartbreaking. He deserves a chance to grow up and find a family who cares for him.

📝 Shelter Notes:
Cheetos initially thrashed with a tucked tail and high-pitched screaming. During later interactions, he appeared timid with a tucked tail, lowered head, crouched body, and darting eyes, but relaxed when spoken to, allowed leashing, walked on a loose leash, and entered the kennel without issues. More recent notes describe vocalizing during kennel feeding and cleaning, greeting staff with a wiggly body, fast-wagging tail, and relaxed open mouth, and walking forward on leash while occasionally picking up treats.

📝 Shelter Notes:

9/30: Mia was at her kennel door with an open-mouth smile, panting, dilated eyes and fast happy tail. She was easy to leash and walked on a loose leash outside to the run. Staff noted that she is highly vocal in her kennel, crying nonstop when she is in her kennel, sees someone nearby or hears activity.

9/29: Mia greeted staff at the front of her kennel with a soft smile, soft eyes, relaxed body and soft wagging tail. She was easily leashed and walked on a loose leash outside to the runs and back. Staff noted periodic crying throughout the day when lots of people were nearby.

9/28: Mia was very vocal in her kennel and would stand against the window or door. When staff went to leash her, she got down with a happy tail and body and was easy to leash. She walked semi-pulling on the leash to the runs and back.

9/26: Mia continued to be vocal while waiting to go outside because she had not pottied in her kennel. She quieted after going outside. During an earlier morning walk, she was easily leashed and walked loosely with a neutral body and a curled wagging tail with an open mouth.

9/25: Mia was vocal during morning cleaning. She greeted staff with dilated eyes and perked ears. She walked semi-loosely on leash, stopped to interact with another employee and flopped onto her back for belly rubs with a relaxed body and open mouth.

9/23: Mia was quiet in the morning and kept her kennel clean throughout the night. She was easy to leash and walked on a loose leash, greeting neighboring dogs with a wagging tail and relaxed body.

9/22: Mia greeted staff at the front of her kennel with a soft smile, soft eyes, relaxed body and soft wagging tail. She was easily leashed and walked on a loose leash outside to the runs. Staff noted periodic crying throughout the day when lots of people were nearby.

9/21: Mia had a fast-wagging tail and body and was easy to leash and walk on a loose lead. In her kennel, she displayed high-pitched vocalizing when she heard someone nearby for a long period of time, but staff could redirect her with a toy.

9/20: Mia addressed staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, relaxed body and soft wagging tail. She was easily leashed and walked loosely to and from the potty yard. In her kennel, she displayed high-pitched vocalizing when she heard someone nearby for long periods of time but could be redirected.

9/17: Mia had a relaxed body, wagging tail and soft smiling mouth. As staff approached, she walked forward and waited to be leashed before stepping out. She walked on a loose leash and followed a treat trail on the way to the runs.

🩺 Medical Notes:

9/24: Mia weighs 46.2 lbs. Her medical exam was documented as normal.

Mia is heartworm negative.

💖 Mia is a social, affectionate 3-year-old girl whose biggest struggle appears to be the stress and isolation of kennel life. Her notes consistently describe a soft, relaxed dog outside of her kennel—she walks nicely on leash, greets people with a wagging tail and soft smile, seeks interaction and has even flopped onto her back for belly rubs. She has also greeted neighboring dogs with a relaxed body and wagging tail. Inside her kennel, however, Mia frequently cries and vocalizes when she hears or sees people nearby, suggesting she may be struggling with confinement and wanting interaction. She has shown that she can settle after getting outside and has sometimes been redirected with toys. Mia would likely thrive in a home where she can decompress, receive regular companionship and finally get a break from the stressful kennel environment. 🩷

Chico #A2094652
9/5 Euth Request| Staffordshire Mix | Male | 11M |
35.8 Ibs | HW Negative
Meet Chico, an adorable 11-month-old Staffie mix with the cutest ears and a heart full of puppy joy. This wiggly, wag-happy boy greets his people with a bouncy body and a tail that just won't quit, and he is every bit as smart as he is cute. Chico pays attention, listens like a champ, and already knows his basic commands, because treats are life and he is happy to work for them. Out on walks, he is unbothered passing the other kennels and stays totally focused on his person, so expect endless compliments when you step out with this handsome boy. He has that sweet puppy energy that makes every day an adventure, and he loves playing with his toys and getting outside to stretch his legs. He has even shown he can settle down on his cozy blanket once he has had time to decompress. Chico is healthy, heartworm negative, and fully recovered from his respiratory bug, so he is ready to hit the ground running. With an active, loving home and a little guidance, this eager-to-please pup is going to be the best buddy you could ask for.

💙🐶 Roger #A2098033
9/26/2026 Stray | Labrador Retriever | Male | 8M | 34 lbs | HW-
💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
I didn’t want to cause any more damage to Roger’s injuries so I just took him out of the kennel for some quick content. Despite his front leg being so injured this boy is so wiggly and happy! He was hopping all over. He’s 8 months old and 31lbs and definitely needs to put some a decent amount of weight. He’s obsessed with humans and loved taking treats from me.
🔹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲:

His front right leg had a large 4–5 cm diameter wound over the carpus with marked granulation tissue. He was severely lame on his front right leg but could bear weight on it. The assessment was road rash after likely being hit by a car approximately 7–10 days earlier. He was prescribed Clavamox for 10 days and carprofen for 7 days.
9/26/2026: Roger weighed 31 lbs and was noted to have wounds all over his front legs. He received DA2PP-V, Bordetella and Rabies vaccines, dewormer and flea prevention. Heartworm test was negative.

🩷🐶 Roxie #A2094458
9/4 Stray - Field | Siberian Husky/Labrador Retriever Mix | Female | 4Y | 40.6 lbs | HW Low Positive
💜 Volunteer Notes:
We were not able to meet Roxie. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!
📝 Shelter Notes:
9/28: Roxie greeted staff with a soft face, was easily leashed and walked loosely with a neutral body. While passing her kennel, she sat quietly by the door and took a treat gently from staff's hand.
9/25: Roxie was calm and quiet in her kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. She walked on a loose leash in and out of the south building. She became vocal while outside but quieted down once she saw staff.
9/18: Roxie greeted staff at the front of the kennel with a loose, relaxed body, open panting mouth and soft eyes. She was easily leashed, walked outside to the runs on a loose leash and returned to her kennel easily.
9/17: Roxie was calm and quiet in her kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. She greeted staff with a relaxed body, low slow-wagging tail and soft smiling mouth. She walked on a loose leash and entered and exited her kennel without issue.
9/16: Roxie greeted staff at her kennel door with a relaxed body, low-wagging tail and soft smiling mouth. She walked on a loose leash while picking treats up from the trail.
9/15: Roxie sat at the front of her kennel with worried eyes, a tense body, ears up and low-hanging tail. She walked on a loose leash and remained neutral to and from the outside runs. Back in her kennel, she laid down and slept for the rest of the morning.
9/7: Roxie displayed a tense body, tucked tail, whale eyes, flinching and lip licking. She walked into the runs on a loose leash. When staff returned to retrieve her, she ran to the corner and lowered herself. Once leashed, she followed staff back to her kennel without issue.
9/4: Timid.
🩺 Medical Notes:
9/20: Heartworm positive.
9/4: Dart site noted on rear left leg. Heartworm test was low positive.
💖 Roxie appears to have made meaningful progress since arriving at the shelter as a very frightened, timid girl. Early notes describe a tucked tail, tense body, flinching, whale eyes and attempts to retreat when approached, but her more recent observations are much more encouraging. She now repeatedly greets staff with a relaxed body, soft eyes and a gently wagging tail, walks nicely on a loose leash, takes treats gently and has been calm and quiet in her kennel. Her progression suggests that with patient, gentle handling she is becoming more comfortable and beginning to trust the people around her. Roxie is heartworm positive and will need treatment, but what she urgently needs first is a safe home where she can decompress away from the shelter and continue building confidence at her own pace. 🩷

Remember sweet Brooke? This 3-year-old Dutch Shepherd mix was once sitting at BARC Houston, frightened and overwhelmed after recently giving birth. She was on the euthanasia list, and we were terrified she wouldn’t get the chance she deserved.
But Brooke was SAVED by Save Some Souls. 🥹🐾
Now comes the next — and very important — step:
🏡 Brooke needs a permanent home.
Brooke is a sweet, sensitive girl who has been through a lot. The shelter environment was overwhelming for her, and she needed time to feel safe. Once given that chance, she has shown that underneath the fear is a loving dog who just needed someone to give her a little time and patience.
🐶 She is good with other dogs, but she will need a slow, thoughtful introduction and time to become comfortable with a new canine friend.
💗 Brooke is:
• 3 years old
• About 40 lbs
• A Dutch Shepherd mix
• Sweet and gentle
• Good with other dogs with proper introductions
• A former mama who has already been through so much
• Heartworm positive, but this is treatable
• Ready to leave the uncertainty behind and finally have a home of her own
She doesn’t need to be saved from a shelter anymore. She needs to be chosen. ❤️
Brooke deserves a family who will let her build confidence, and discover what it feels like to be safe and loved for good.
If you are looking for a loyal, sweet girl and can give Brooke the patience and stability she needs, please consider adopting her.
