🆘 Final Plea 10/12! Adorable Dally A659219 2 y/o Shepherd mix who is so scared at the shelter & has been there since JULY! She is sweet & calm, people & dog-friendly/co-kenneled! Urgently seeking loving foster/forever home! Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State & Canada)

Kennel mate adopted and has been there since JULY! Please HELP‼️‼️‼️ Out of State Adoption IS Possible! Don’t wait to apply!

Sweet DALLY has been waiting since 7/17 for someone to choose her. 💔 At just 2 years old, her nights shouldn’t be spent sleeping on a concrete shelter floor surrounded by the constant noise and stress of hundreds of dogs.

She deserves a soft bed. A quiet place to sleep. A family who makes her feel safe. 🩷

And despite everything, DALLY is still people-friendly AND dog-friendly. She’s currently kenneled with SAMMY, a dog she met at the shelter, and has managed to make friends even in such a stressful environment. 🐾

🎀 DALLY — A659219
• German Shepherd mix
• 2 years old | 52 lbs | Female- will be spayed
• 🐶 Dog-friendly — kenneled with SAMMY
• 💕 People-friendly
• 📍 Kennel 1A04
• ❤️ Heartworm positive — affordable Treatment is available & a must!
• Stray intake 7/17 from 77562
• 💵 PLEDGES NEEDED to help attract rescue support

🚨 PLEASE don’t let heartworms stop you from considering DALLY. Heartworms are treatable, and rescue support/pledges can help get her the care she needs. What she needs most right now is a chance to get OUT.

Even if you can’t foster or adopt, helping her be seen can make the difference.

🆘Very Urgent 10/12! Meet adorable Miley A661222. Look at those ears! 2 y/o tri-color female, Dog-friendly/co-kenneled (HW-), sweet, affectionate. Urgently Seeking loving foster/forever home! 612 Canino Rd. Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State & Canada)

Meet adorable MILEY! 💛 She's 2 years old, dog friendly, heartworm NEGATIVE and quite possibly the owner of the most spectacular ears currently residing at Harris County Pets. She is in danger at Harris County Pets by no fault of her own at an overcrowded shelter‼️

Please go meet Miley!

Seriously. LOOK AT THEM. 😂 Those ears are entirely too big for her head, which is exactly what makes them perfect. Add in that gorgeous tricolour coat, little white chest and those white-tipped toes and MILEY is ridiculously cute.

🐶 MILEY is also dog friendly and currently shares her kennel with another dog. She's been at the shelter since 8/31, though, which means this adorable girl is already LONG STAY and at risk simply because she's been waiting too long.

We love a tricolour dog, we love ridiculous ears, and we would really love to see MILEY walk out of here with a foster or adopter. 🥹 Please help this sweet girl be seen before she spends another week waiting.

Here is what we know about MILEY 💕
🐶 Dog friendly
👯 Currently shares her kennel with a puppy
👂 Absolutely spectacular ears
🎂 2 years old
⚖️ 55 pounds

10/4/2026: Approaching the kennel, Samson was standing in front of the kennel gate with a open mouth smile, fast wagging tail, ears up, wiggling body, and soft eyes.

10/6/2026: Samson will greet at the front of the kennel as he presents loose body, open mouth and dilated pupils. Once leashed he is a bit jumpy but able to redirect with treats. When placing him in the outside run he was jumpy and mouthy and was biting the leash and wouldn't let go. When place back in his kennel I took the dog next to him out and Samson was barking and snarling at him while the other dog did not react.

10/9/2026: Samson continously kept jumping up while on the leash. Samson also kept putting his mouth around my hand and tugging on my shirt sleeves. I could sometimes redirect with treats but he would go right back to tugging on my sleeves.

10/10/2026: Samson was placed in outdoor kennel in the morning due to Uri symptoms. while in kennel he was pacing with dilated eyes, panting, and vocalizing. when trying to leash he kept jumping up and was very mouthy towards my hand and leash. once leashed i gave a loud and firm no and he stopped the nipping but walked on a forward leash. once in his kennel i covered and provided a pig ear. he has been quiet all day but i will continue to monitor.

10/10/2026: Samson greeted me with a soft face, front paws on the door, wiggly body, wagging tail, dilated eyes, lip licked and play-bowed. He was easily leashed and walked semi-loosely, very excited, rearing, mouthy with leash and me, jumped up and bit my arm bruising it.

10/11/2026: 12:29 Walked with tight leash out to runs. When I reached down to unleash he turned, jumped up and was mouthing very hard on my hand and arm, jumping up and scratching down my back. Same when trying to leash him, had to push him down and hold him down to get leash on, then used leash to hold him away from me while he was still trying to mouth.

🆘💔 MEET TAQUITO — A BIG, FLUFFY LOVEBUG WHO JUST WANTS SOMEONE TO LOVE! 💔🆘

At 4 years old and 94.4 lbs, Taquito is a big boy with an even bigger personality! Shelter staff have repeatedly described this Labrador Retriever Mix as friendly, affectionate, and full of sweet energy. He greets people with soft eyes, a happy open-mouth smile, and a tail that just keeps wagging. He enjoys human interaction and has allowed staff to leash and pet him without issues. 💙🐾

Taquito can get overexcited, especially when leaving his kennel, and may jump, bounce, zigzag, or pull on the leash. But he has also shown that he can walk more calmly, and on his most recent walk he moved forward without pulling. This enthusiastic boy needs a home where he can settle in, learn routines, and enjoy positive, patient guidance.

He is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection and is heartworm high-positive, so he will need veterinary care and heartworm treatment. Despite these medical needs, Taquito deserves the chance to leave the shelter behind and experience the comfort and security of a loving home.

🆘⏰ URGENT DEADLINE — SATURDAY, 10/10 ⏰🆘

TAQUITO (#A2099022) NEEDS A HOLD BY 1 PM TODAY!

💔 He is on BARC’s euthanasia list. NO EXTENSIONS. Without a hold, he risks losing his life.

🙏 PLEDGES + LOCAL FOSTER NEEDED to help a rescue save him! 🏡💙

🚩 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.

💜 VOLUNTEER NOTES

📝 SHELTER NOTES

  • 10/8: Taquito was jumping onto his kennel door. Once leashed, he walked forward without pulling. Staff offered treats, but he was not interested.
  • 10/7: He greeted staff at his kennel door with a wiggly body, open-mouth smile, and fast-wagging tail. He occasionally stood against the door in excitement. He moved around while being leashed but allowed staff to leash him without issues. On the way to the runs, he pulled on the leash and walked in different directions, sometimes walking against the handler's legs. He was easy to leash again and more relaxed on the return walk, pulling only slightly.
  • 10/6: Taquito greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, ears up, fast-wagging tail, wiggly body, and soft eyes. He was described as very friendly and welcoming. As staff entered his kennel, he became excited, jumping and bouncing around. He walked on a semi-loose leash but occasionally jumped on his handler.
  • 10/5: He displayed lots of energy, a fast-wagging tail, and a tendency to stand against his kennel door. He was easy to leash but pulled forward during walks and moved in different directions.
  • 10/4: Staff described Taquito as a “big ball of sweet energy!” He greeted them with a fast-wagging tail, circling, and softly whining for interaction. He allowed staff to leash and pet him before walking excitedly to and from the potty yard. Inside his kennel, he could be seen jumping against the door when someone was nearby.
  • 10/3: Taquito was moved to a new kennel. During the move, he nearly pushed past staff to get out. He walked on a semi-tight leash, zigzagging and panting with a swaying tail.
  • 10/2: Taquito displayed neutral body language and a low-wagging tail. He walked on a semi-tight leash.
  • 10/1: Taquito greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a neutral body, soft panting, and wagging tail. He was leashed and walked out to the runs, pulling somewhat on the leash while maintaining a neutral body and soft facial expression.
  • 9/30: Taquito entered BARC as a stray following a field intake.

🩺 MEDICAL NOTES

  • 10/9: Taquito developed sneezing, huffing, and white nasal discharge. He was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection (URI), moved to treatment, and prescribed doxycycline 400 mg once daily for 10 days.
  • 9/30: Taquito weighed 94.4 lbs. His intake examination described him as an intact male. His heartworm test was high-positive, indicating an infection that will require veterinary follow-up and treatment. He received routine shelter vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention.

💖 TAQUITO DESERVES A HOME, NOT A DEADLINE.

This big, fluffy boy has repeatedly shown staff his friendly, people-oriented side. His wiggly body, soft eyes, happy smile, and constantly wagging tail paint the picture of a dog who loves attention and wants to connect with people. His enthusiasm can sometimes overwhelm him, particularly when coming out of his kennel, but he has also demonstrated that he can walk more calmly.

Taquito has medical needs: he is being treated for a respiratory infection and will need veterinary care for his heartworm infection. A rescue and foster who can help him through treatment and provide a stable environment could make all the difference.

Please don't let this affectionate boy run out of time before he gets the chance to know the safety and love of a home. He needs a rescue, pledges, and a local foster to help make that possible. Please share and help Taquito get his second chance! 💙🐾

🆘 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.
