🆘 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. 💔

🔹 Intake:

Euthanasia Request

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/18/2026: Was very timid in kennel. She was pressed against the wall with low head. I placed the leash but she remained pancaked. I was able to enter kennel and pet her so I just carried her outside... no muzzle was needed. When I placed her in the runs she greeted her neighbors and started to wag her tail. When coming to retrieve her she was scurrying around the runs and kept avoiding leash. She hid under a bush/tree in the run and pancaked and began to growl. I was unable to get her from underneath the bush so I had to call for another ACT to bring the red board. With the red board we pushed her from underneath and she began to scurry around the run again. I managed to leash her and she walked back inside with tucked tail, low head, and her body close to the ground.

8/19/2026: She was in the kennel with a tensed body, facing the back wall laying down. I leashed her and she thrashed. I babytalked her and gave her treats that she ignored. I eventually got her to walk out and she thrashed the whole way to a new clean kennel before scurrying into the back.

🚑 Medical Notes:

8/17/2026: Weighed 52.6 lbs. Heartworm test: Low Positive. Hair loss on ear. Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies), dewormed, and given flea prevention.

💔 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.

8/12/2026 Stray | German Shepherd Mix | Female | 6M | 24.8 lbs | HW Negative

🎥 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.

🆘 Sweet & timid, healthy 1 year old Lab/Beagle mix boy Pope is on the euthanasia list Thursday, 8/20. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

💙 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.

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.

🆘️ 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.

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.

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.
