Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

I rescued 5 puppies and 2 adult dogs from Pasadena during the polar vortex that came through Houston in December. I knew I couldn't keep the dogs myself but I had to make sure they were in a safe place. I contacted Special Pals and asked if they could help. They not only said yes, but offered to stay open late so that I could drop off the dogs after I came back from Pasadena to get them. I met a wonderful vet tech around 9 p.m. that night and we got the dogs into a safe, warm place. They had everything ready for the dogs when I got there. I was relieved to know that these little ones have a safe place to be until they can be adopted into a new home. Thanks to Special Pals for all they do for the animals in our community!

Hi, my name is Michelle. Our beloved indoor/outdoor cat, Peaches, is missing. She went out Sunday night but has not come back, which is very unusual. She is 13 years old, and is a dainty, friendly, orange and white tabby. She usually sticks around our house or the neighbors' houses on each side of us but we're concerned the storms may have scared her and she sought shelter. She has a tag with her name and our number on it. We live around Willowbend and Rampart, close to Maplewood pool and Westbury Baptist.
