🩷 Lovely Mary May (605221) is 3 years old and 42 lbs – perfect size!  She came into the shelter on September 10th as a stray.  Mary allows full-handling, seeks social and is easily leashed.  She has been paired kindly with other dogs and is currently sharing her kennel with Ferris (a neutered male). Mary loves to play with toys and will trade a toy for a treat, and she loves to play with the water from the hose. Mary can certainly live with a canine sibling if separated and introduced slowly and appropriately.  This lovely young lady is ready to be in a loving home.  Please consider adopting or fostering Mary May for a rescue.

Forced kenneling and lack of proper socialization in high-stress shelter environments frequently instigate these behaviors, which are never representative of a dog's true personality outside of shelter walls.

Burrata would thrive best in an active home with people who can keep him mentally stimulated with toys, chew toys, and brain games to channel his smart young mind!

‼️🚨 FAMILY OF FIVE DUMPED INTO A HIGH-KILL SHELTER BY AN IRRESPONSIBLE OWNER 🚨‼️ They were kept outside and are now in danger of being euthanized. ALL ARE SCARED!! Mom is terrified - Shaking in fear, but she is SWEET 💔

THEY CAME INTO THIS SHELTER AS A FAMILY… NOW THEY COULD LOSE EACH OTHER FOREVER. 💔

They entered those shelter doors together — confused, frightened, and completely dependent on one another. Now they are facing the possibility that their family will be torn apart… or that some may never make it out alive.

They don't understand why they were abandoned. They don't understand why they're behind bars. And they certainly don't understand that time may be running out.

🚨 PLEASE DON'T LET THEIR STORY END HERE.

They need someone to see them. Someone to care. Someone willing to give this family the chance they deserve.

🚨 EXTREMELY URGENT 🚨 AT RISK OF EUTHANASIA 💔

🐾 Onyx ID: A2263314

Mastiff / Neutered Male / Tan

Approximately 2.2 yrs old & 69 lbs.

➡️ https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/LACT2/A2263314

📆 Arrived at the shelter on Mar 29, 2026.

Onyx was surrendered by an adopter who had only recently adopted him from another shelter. The home had multiple dogs, and after a fight broke out, someone was bitten while trying to separate them. No one knows which dog was responsible, yet Onyx and Hazel were both brought to the shelter and quarantined, while the other dog reportedly remained in the home.

Now Onyx is on the URGENT list, and a 2nd plea has been issued. If no one steps forward, he could lose his life soon—for an incident that may not have involved him.

Everyone who has spent time with Onyx describes him as an absolute sweetheart. Volunteers say he is easy to handle, playful, affectionate, and loves people. He melts into a submissive, loving boy when you enter his kennel and even does a happy dance when it’s time to go outside. He’s easy to walk, calm around other dogs, and simply wants to be close to his humans.

In playgroup, DPF described him as Gentle & Dainty, Social, Playful, and a Rockstar.

Onyx deserves a chance. He shouldn’t lose his life over an incident no one can even attribute to him.

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.

🆘 3-year-old American Staffordshire Mix girl Luna, described by a shelter volunteer as sweet, social and a “gem of a dog,” is on the euthanasia list for Wednesday, October 7. There will be NO EXTENSIONS per BARC. 🆘

⏰ HOLD DEADLINE: Wednesday, October 7, at 1 PM. Luna #A2095545 must have a hold in place by then or she will lose her life. 🥺 We need a rescue, local foster or adopter, and pledges to help save her. 💰🏡

🚨 RESCUES — PLEASE DON'T OVERLOOK LUNA. SHE IS SOCIAL, AFFECTIONATE, TREAT-MOTIVATED AND HAS SHOWN STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS HOW MUCH SHE LOVES PEOPLE. 🚨

🩷🐶 Luna #A2095545
9/13 Euth Request | American Staffordshire Mix | Female | 3 Years | 49 lbs | Heartworm High Positive

💖 Luna's notes are full of personality.

A shelter volunteer described Luna as a dog who could “steal your heart in mere minutes.” In the videos mentioned in the notes, Luna was seen rolling on the ground and gently pushing the volunteer's partner backward to cuddle in the grass. She was described as goofy, joyful, expressive and very affectionate.

Luna greeted the volunteer with a happy smile and goofy energy, and she has continued to show friendly behavior in the shelter. She knows sit, is very treat-motivated and may be quick to train.

She also did well during a temporary dog-to-dog assessment. The volunteer noted that Luna actually helped a shy dog come out of his shell, and by the end of their meet-and-greet he offered a play bow.

Her shelter notes consistently describe a wagging tail, wiggly body and friendly engagement. She has repeatedly allowed staff to leash her and has walked on loose or semi-loose leash at different times. She can become vocal, jumpy or mouthy when overstimulated, so she will need a foster or adopter prepared to provide patience, structure, activity and calm handling.

🩺 Luna is heartworm high positive and is currently being treated for CIRD/URI. She was prescribed doxycycline after developing sneezing, hacking and clear nasal discharge. She will need continued medical follow-up and heartworm treatment after leaving BARC.

💔 A volunteer who knows Luna says she is only on the list because of length of stay and having a cold. Her record also shows that she can be an affectionate, social and incredibly fun dog when given attention and a chance to be herself.

🆘 Please help Luna by sharing this post and reaching out immediately if you can rescue, foster locally, adopt through a rescue, or pledge toward her placement. DM OP or u/BanditY77 so we can help get things moving.

🆘 10-month-old German Shepherd Mix boy Glenn, who is heartworm negative, is on the euthanasia list Wednesday, 10/7. There will be NO EXTENSIONS per BARC. 🆘

⏰ HOLD DEADLINE: Wednesday, 10/7 at 1 PM. Glenn #A2077131 must have a hold in place by then or he will lose his life. 🥺 We need a rescue, local foster or adopter, and pledges to help save him. 💰🏡

🚨 RESCUES — PLEASE DON'T OVERLOOK GLENN. HE NEEDS A RESCUE TO STEP UP BEFORE 1 PM. 🚨

💙🐶 Glenn #A2077131
9/26/2026 Foster Return | German Shepherd Mix | Neutered Male | 10 Months | 37.8 lbs | Heartworm Negative

💖 Glenn has a lot of puppy energy, but his earlier shelter notes show a friendly, treat-motivated dog who can walk well on leashy and enjoys enrichment.

Back in May and June, Glenn was described as friendly, patient and wiggly, taking treats gently, sitting and wagging when staff approached and enjoying his enrichment. He repeatedly walked well on a loose leash.

Since returning from foster, the shelter environment has clearly been much more difficult for him. Glenn is frequently vocal in his kennel, jumps at the kennel door and becomes excited when people or dogs pass. He can pull on leash and has been mouthy at times when excited.

Even so, his recent notes continue to show positive engagement with people. On 9/29, he greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a loose, wiggly body, soft eyes and fast-wagging tail and was easily leashed. On 9/26, he walked semi-loosely with a swaying tail and open mouth and could be redirected with treats.

Glenn is still a 10-month-old puppy, and much of what is being seen now appears tied to his high energy and kennel arousal. He needs a committed home or rescue willing to provide structure, exercise, training and an environment where he can settle.

🩺 Medically, Glenn is heartworm negative, neutered and his most recent exam was documented as normal. He has received routine vaccinations, deworming and flea prevention.

🆘 Please help Glenn by sharing this post and reaching out immediately if you can rescue, foster locally, adopt through a rescue, or pledge toward his placement. DM OP or u/BanditY77 so we can help get things moving.

🆘🆘 10/9 Meet Taz A661402! Handsome & friendly 7 y/o Dogo Argentino mix came in as a stray w/ a microchip so he had a home at some point, affectionate, playful & happy! Needs a loving foster or forever home! 612 Canino Rd. Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State & Canada)

TAZ is 7 years old and has already spent more than three weeks sitting in a shelter kennel. 💔 This handsome Dogo Argentino mix came in as a stray, and now he desperately needs someone to help give him a second chance.

At his age, TAZ should be sleeping on a comfy bed in a home — not watching day after day pass from inside a kennel.

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.
