SAVE OUR HOUSTON PETS
with spaying, neutering, & vaccination
It's no secret that Houston is home to one of our country's largest animal overpopulation problems. What's worse, it doesn't just affect the poor cats and dogs being left to fend for themselves on the streets.
Citizens are affected when strays roam the neighborhoods, causing potential health and safety concerns, property damage, and trouble selling homes.
Taxpayers are affected when the city and county have to pay to feed, house, and ultimately (tragically) euthanize animals who have nowhere to go.
Pet owners are affected when strays fight, pass disease to, mate with, or stress out their pets.
And most heartbreakingly, these animals are affected as their lives are often spent roaming the streets trying to survive. With the broken system, it is harder than ever for shelters and rescues to take them in, and even then, there's a huge struggle to find them good homes.
this isn't just about the pets, either...
This Affects our Entire Community
