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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

Please upvote, comment, and share Diego. He survived the streets and the fear of being picked up, only to spend weeks waiting in a kennel. He’s dog friendly, people friendly, heartworm negative, and only 3 years old. He deserves the chance to leave the shelter alive.

SKYE lost her home because of circumstances with her owner — not because of anything she did. 💔 Now this sweet 2-year-old girl is sitting in a loud shelter wondering where her family went.

Despite everything, SKYE is described as sweet and calm. 💕 She already knows basic commands, is curious about the other dogs she sees, and has even shown curiosity toward cats. Loud noises can scare her, so the shelter environment is especially difficult for her.

At only 2 years old, SKYE has her whole life ahead of her. She’s past the tiny puppy stage but still young enough for years of walks, adventures and couch cuddles with her person. 🐾

Even better — SKYE is already SPAYED and heartworm NEGATIVE, so an adopter can take her home TODAY! 🏡❤️

🆘 3 year old Labrador Retriever Mix boy on the euthanasia list Wednesday, 8/19. There will be NO extensions per BARC 🆘

⏰ John must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or he will lose his life. 🥺

🔹 Intake:

Stray - Field

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/2/2026: Dog was brought over due to being a move adopt and only has been laying in the kennel.

8/10/2026: John greeted me at the kennel door with a fast wagging tail. He let me leash him and walked semi tightly to and from the potty yard. He is treat responsive. Inside his kennel he can be seen laying on his bed or waiting by the kennel door when he sees someone.

8/16/2026: Throughout the day while people were walking through the row John was very timid, would retreat to the back of his kennel on top of his kuranda bed when approached and very tense, avoiding eye contact, hackles raised when volunteer tried to take him out for a walk; complete opposite behavior to how he is normally with staff so had been missed that he was so shy around strangers.

8/17/2026: John was easily leashed and walked loosely with a neutral body until put in his outside run when he lip curled and growled at the neighboring dog (Rice Crispy A2090881). Approaching run to bring back inside he was laying down quietly by the door. Passing kennel, he was resting on his bed.

8/17/2026: For PM walk today, John stood at the front of his kennel with tail out and wagging. Walked with loose leash out to runs. However, once I was unleashing him in the runs John growled then immediately lunged and started fence fighting with his neighboring dog who also began fence fighting with him. Took the other dog out as the other dog was able to redirect when called and came back to bring John inside as he didn't have any other dogs next to him. When I returned for John he was growling and forward barking, lunging at other male dog further down.

🚨 URGENT — MIER MAC A659408 NEEDS OUT! 🚨📍 Houston, TX | Foster • Adopter • Rescue Needed OUT OF STATE ADOPTION IS POSSIBLE.

MIER MAC has been sitting in the shelter since 7/21, and he is now URGENT and at risk of euthanasia for space. 💔

This handsome 4-year-old boy seems confused and overwhelmed by the constant barking and chaos around him. Shelter stress can make it incredibly difficult to know what a dog will truly be like once they’re finally able to decompress in a quiet home.

And sadly, black shelter dogs are often overlooked, making it even more important that we get MIER MAC seen. 🖤🐾

MIER MAC is attentive, knows SIT, loves treats and is already NEUTERED + HEARTWORM NEGATIVE! 🎉 He’s only 43 lbs and ready for someone to give him the chance he deserves.

URGENT LONG-STAY — ASHLEY A658601 IS STILL WAITING

Ashley is still here, smiling that beautiful smile and hanging out with her kennel mate Tammy while she waits for someone to finally choose her.

Ashley has been at Harris County Pets since 6/30. In an overcrowded shelter where new dogs continue arriving every day, long-stay dogs desperately need placement to free up kennel space.

Ashley is only 1 year old. She is dog friendly, people friendly, heartworm negative, and still has her entire life ahead of her. She shouldn’t lose that life simply because she has been waiting too long for a home.

She doesn’t need hundreds of people to save her. She needs ONE foster or adopter to say, “I’ll take Ashley.”

Please share her. The right person may simply not have seen her yet.
