🆘 URGENT — LILY COULD BE EUTHANIZED WEDNESDAY 8/19 💔

LILY’s kennel buddy Jenny left with a foster this weekend, and now LILY is at the TOP of the list and could be euthanized Wednesday morning. She desperately needs someone to step up before it’s too late.

🌼 LILY #A659741 is an adorable 4-year-old girl weighing just 40 lbs—the perfect smaller-medium size! She is dog friendly, people friendly and loves getting attention from humans. 💕 She did great sharing her kennel with Jenny, but now she’s there alone waiting for someone to choose her.

LILY has already been at the shelter since 7/28, and time has run out. She can be euthanized Wednesday 8/19 or any future Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning for space. 💔

💔 JULIA is a stunning young girl who is terrified in the shelter environment. Watching her freeze in fear while being videoed is heartbreaking. She desperately needs someone to comfort her, give her time, and show her that she is safe.

Sadly, fear in a shelter can make a dog appear like she “doesn’t show well.” Please don’t let JULIA’s fear become a death sentence. She deserves the chance to decompress in a loving home where she can finally feel safe.

If you’re interested in JULIA, please come meet her. Staff can bring her out of her kennel for a meet-and-greet so you can see the sweet girl behind the fear.

Euthanasia Request

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/2/2026: Had to separate due to fighting over food with 3 other siblings.

8/3/2026: Freddy and sibling did much better today. Fed pups in two separate cornered areas to keep dogs away from one another. Did well and then went to go lay together after eating. I did notice that Freddy will low growl and give a hard stare at dogs as I am walking them by kennel.

8/4/2026: Freddy does low growl towards other dogs walking by if he is not covered. So I have to make sure kennel is covered. For feeding I have been offering food into two separate locations to prevent pups from fighting.

8/12/2026: Mr. Freddy when going to clean his kennel will start off a little shy, moving back to his bed, head down. Was able to slowly carry him to another kennel to clean his.

8/13/2026: Dog was laying on his bed and when I approached him he stepped back and I had to carry him out to clean his kennel and when I was holding him he stood still as we waited for his kennel to be done.

🚑 Medical Notes:

🆘️ On Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for Wednesday, 8/19/26. Deadline at 1pm 🆘️

ID #A2088449

🐾 Meet Nate

ID #A2088449

2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix

Black / White | 46 lbs

Intake Date: 7/29/2026

Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).

🩺 MEDICAL

Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.

On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

🐾Behavior notes:

During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.

However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.

Panda is only 13 months old, incredibly friendly, and already at risk of losing his life simply because he has been waiting too long for a home.

This sweet boy is friendly with both people and other dogs and currently shares his kennel with another dog. He’s young, heartworm negative, and has his entire life ahead of him. He just needs the right person to see him in time.

WHY PANDA IS URGENT

He urgently needs an adopter, foster, or rescue.

Please upvote, comment, and share Panda for visibility. He’s barely a year old, loves people and other dogs, and deserves to grow up in a home—not disappear because an overcrowded shelter ran out of space.

Diego arrived at Harris County Pets as a stray on July 4th. Being captured with a catch pole was understandably frightening for him, but despite that stressful start, Diego has shown that he is friendly with both dogs and people.

He has now been waiting at the shelter for weeks and is well beyond the 15-day mark, making him at risk of euthanasia for space. He needs an adopter, foster, or rescue to help him get out safely.

Sweet puppy BELLA has been kenneled in Wing 5, a wing that was closed to the public until this week. During that time, this precious puppy sat in a loud, frightening shelter without knowing that no one could even come see her. Day after day, she waited… and no one came.

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.
