​

His life is at risk. Hopper needs a rescue plan NOW or he may be euthanized by OC Animal Care.

Hopper is only 2 years old. He was found wandering the streets of Santa Ana. The person who found him had no issues capturing him and even spent a week walking him around the neighborhood, trying to find someone who knew him.

Then he arrived at the shelter.

Hopper was nervous during intake. When staff approached him with a leash, he growled and showed his teeth. Since then, shelter staff report that he comes to the kennel door, hard stares, shows whale eye, becomes stiff, and growls.

But there is an important detail in his notes:

"When you reach for him he does not try to bite, he is just stiff and growling."

We don't know what Hopper experienced before he was found. We don't know why a 2-year-old dog was wandering the streets wearing a choke chain and rope leash. We only know that someone was able to safely capture him and walk him around the neighborhood - and now, inside a frightening shelter environment, he is defensive and afraid.

And that fear may cost him his life.

Hopper currently has no owner coming for him and no safe home waiting for him. He needs an experienced person willing to stand up for him when he needs it most.

HOPPER NEEDS RESCUE BY 8/14/26.

Please SHARE, PLEDGE, and help find a rescue/foster who can safely take him.

💔 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.

🩵🐶 Bashful #A2087893

7/25/2026 Stray | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 1Y 1M | 46.6 lbs | HW Negative

💜 Volunteer Notes:

I’m SO excited to share with everyone this adorable and sweet little boy, Bashful. I love his name, but this handsome guy isn’t bashful at all. Although when I first approached his kennel he stared at me like “are you here for me? Really?” The second he realized I was, he got so excited and started to wag his tail. When I went in his kennel he was very well behaved and just sat patiently for me. He walked beautifully on leash and didn’t react toward any of the dogs in the kennels. He also did amazing meeting another pup - all tails wags, a few kisses, overall just a happy, playful boy. When I knelt down next to him, he gently jumped into my arms and gave me a ton of kisses. I was able to pick him up easily and he continued to give me kisses. Bashful is the sweetest boy and it’s clear all he wants it to be someone’s baby. I hope someone steps up for him

Volunteer Notes 2:

I would like to give a gold star to the staff member that named Bashful. It’s so perfectly endearing and a bit ironic as he isn’t bashful at all! I walked up to his kennel and he was curled up, not expecting me to say hi. He didn’t get up from his bed until I knelt down to his level, then he got up slowly and did a big stretch before wagging his tail vigorously. He said hi to other dogs while we walked out and walked very well. He’s an absolutely wonderful listener - better than any man in your life, guaranteed. He learned sit soooo quickly as he was a bit jumpy when first out of his kennel. He loves to fetch and actually brought it back quite a few times! Please please please watch his videos. Something about him is very endearing and I know he’ll be someone’s best friend.

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Bashful has repeatedly greeted people with a wiggly body, soft eyes and a fast-wagging tail. He is described as friendly and welcoming to people and has even tried to play with other dogs through the fence.

He generally walks nicely on a loose leash and has been gentle with his handlers. One especially sweet note describes Bashful leaning his entire body against a staff member, completely relaxed and wagging his tail, while they cleaned around his eyes.

He has occasionally shown periods of fear, pancaking to the ground, pacing, whining and hesitating to return to his kennel. But once he feels comfortable, the happy, wiggly young dog comes right back out.

🙏 This sweet young boy has been waiting at BARC since July 25. Foster, adopt, rescue or share Bashful. One person saying YES could change everything for him.

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

💜 Volunteer Notes

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Yuca is extremely timid, often cowering in the back of her kennel with her head lowered. On leash she has trembled, frozen, pulled back or thrashed when overwhelmed. At times she has become so frightened during handling that staff needed to stop. But she has also shown that, when she can manage her fear, she is capable of slowly walking on leash with her head low and tail tucked and allowing the leash to be removed.

Their notes paint a picture of two very young, undersocialized puppies who are frightened and overwhelmed by the shelter environment and desperately need experienced rescue placement where they can decompress safely.

🙏 PLEASE HELP SAVE YUCA & BING — AND THEIR SIBLINGS ROOSTER AND FRANKIE. These babies are only 6 months old, and all four siblings have now landed on the euthanasia list together.

Please share, pledge, foster through a rescue, or tag rescues who can help.

🔹 Intake:

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/15/2026: Timid in kennel. Cowering in the back with lowered head. I entered the kennel and she avoided eye contact. Once leashed she was hesitant to walk but moved a little as I walked behind her. She was still very timid on leash, trembling and pausing frequently. I placed her in a new kennel and removed the leash.

8/16/2026: Thrashing on leash. When trying to carry dog is flinching and trying to bite. Tried to muzzle and carry but dog started to defecate. Left in place due to behavior.

8/16/2026: In the PM dog was still timid but I was able to leash her and she slowly walked out with low head and tucked tail. She walked straight into her next kennel and I was able to remove leash.

8/17/2026: Timid in kennel, cowering in the back. I opened the kennel and I entered to leash her. Once leashed, she slightly thrashed and pulled back on the leash. I was able to muzzle her and pick her up. I carried her to a new kennel and placed her inside.

8/18/2026: Still timid and cowering in back of kennel, biting on the leash. I guided her to next kennel.

💙 Volunteer Notes:
We were not able to meet Pope #A2091085. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/16/26: Pope greeted staff from the back of his kennel with a tense body, softly tapping tail, and worried expression. Staff described him as very sweet and responsive to baby talk. He was easily leashed but was too frightened to walk. He allowed staff to pick him up and carry him to a new kennel without a muzzle.

8/18/26: Pope had been moved for adoption the previous day and had to be carried into his kennel. In the morning, staff approached slowly and placed a leash on him, but he froze in place. Staff knelt down, offered chicken, and used gentle body language, but Pope pancaked to the floor and would not move. He had to be carried out of the kennel. In the hallway, he again pancaked and would not move, so staff carried him back to his kennel.

8/19/26: Pope greeted staff at the front of his kennel. He was still somewhat fearful but had a slowly wagging tail. He walked on a loose leash with a relaxed body.

💖 Pope is a very sweet, sensitive young boy who has been struggling with fear in the overwhelming shelter environment. Despite being frightened, he has remained gentle and allows staff to leash, handle, and carry him. Most encouragingly, by 8/19 he was already making progress-coming to the front of his kennel, wagging his tail, and walking on a loose leash with a relaxed body. Pope needs a patient, loving home where he can decompress, build confidence, and learn that he is finally safe.

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.

PANDA #A658241

Pit Bull mix
Male
13 months old
49 lbs
Dog friendly
People friendly
Heartworm NEGATIVE
Kennel 1A02
Arrived as a stray from 77041 on 6/23
Pledges can help encourage an approved rescue to step in

WHY PANDA IS URGENT

Panda has been at Harris County Pets for well over 15 days and is considered a long-stay dog at an overcrowded shelter. Long-stay dogs can be at risk of euthanasia for space on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.

He urgently needs an adopter, foster, or rescue.

Panda’s shelter profile:

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.

🆘💕 Sweet puppy BELLA needs a hero NOW! 💕 She is now 8 MONTHS old and can be euthanized as soon as MONDAY morning- 8/2

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.

Now, BELLA’s kennelmate was adopted today - 7/31/26, leaving BELLA alone and at even greater risk of euthanasia to free up kennel space.

🙏 Please SHARE, COMMENT, PLEDGE, and TAG friends to help save BELLA’s life! Every share could be the one that reaches her forever family.

🆘 4 year old American Staffordshire Mix girl on the euthanasia list Wednesday, 8/19. There will be NO extensions per BARC 🆘

⏰ Jenna 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.

🩷🐶 Jenna #A2088112

7/26/2026 Stray | American Staffordshire Mix | Female | 4Y | 46.4 lbs | HW Low Positive

💜 Volunteer Notes:

Jenna is definitely a cutie pie. She has unique coloring throughout her coat. She’s calm and sweet. When I went to her kennel she was so ready to have some company. I started talking to her and immediately she got excited. I was able to leash her pretty easily. She walked wonderfully on the leash. I got her out to the run and she’s very loving and affectionate. She loves belly rubs. When I had her out in the run I was petting her, and she actually turned around onto her back and basically asked for belly rubs. She’s definitely a good girl and always happy. I think she’s unique looking, and hopefully she can get out of the shelter tomorrow

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Jenna’s notes are full of words like sweet, gentle, happy and wiggly. She regularly greets staff with a wagging tail, relaxed body, soft eyes and an open-mouth smile. She is easy to leash and has frequently walked nicely on a loose or semi-loose leash.

Jenna has also shown playful interest in other dogs, offering play bows and a curving, wiggly body toward neighboring dogs.

🙏 Jenna has been waiting since July 26 and is now dealing with URI, GI issues and heartworms. This sweet, wiggly girl needs a safe place to recover and decompress.

Please foster, adopt, rescue, share or pledge for Jenna.
