Friends For Life Animal Shelter

Friends For Life Animal Shelter We are the . 🕒 The shelter is open for visitors six days a week (closed on Tuesdays), 11am-4pm. friends4life.org/gethelp
(824)

Come and visit us!

🐶 ADOPTABLE DOGS: Many of our dogs live in foster homes and NOT at the shelter, so all dogs can be met on an appointment basis. The first step is to complete an online adoption application (friends4life.org/adopt).

🐱 ADOPTABLE CATS: The shelter has three free-roaming cat rooms where you can come and meet adoptable cats. Some cats do live in foster homes, so we’re happy to let

you know if the cat you’re interested in is at the shelter or in foster before you come by. We also have adoptable cats at our PetSmart Cattery at S Shepherd/Alabama (2902 S Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77098).

"Sister! Carmen, help me!"

"Long. Live. The King."

Carmen and Chester were recently allowed to watch The Lion King and decided to reenact this iconic scene for their foster mom.

While Carmen has a sleepover scheduled, Chester is still waiting for a family with whom to watch his favorite Disney movies 🥰

We just got the sweetest update from Solei’s family, and let’s just say—this girl is living her best life. Her adopters told us:

“Just wanted to update Friends For Life on sweet Solei. We are so happy to have her as part of our family and are so glad we adopted her from Friends For Life!”

Cue our happy tears. 🥹💛

From foster favorite to full-on family member, Solei is proof that love (and a great adoption match) really does make everything brighter.

Not all bunnies want to be the life of the party—some just want a calm, cozy home and a human who gets their vibe. That’s Harry. He's got stellar litterbox manners, a chill personality, and once he knows you, he’ll happily hang out nearby like the quiet little companion you never knew you needed.

Harry’s more of a “me time” kind of guy, so he’s perfectly content being the only bunny in your life. And really, once you meet him, you won’t need another. 💁‍♂️🐰

If your ideal night involves snacks, peace and quiet, and a fluffy friend just doing his thing beside you…Harry’s ready to hop into your life.

Nola rang in the 4th of July with her very own sleepover! She packed up her sparkling personality, brought her best snuggles, and even made her own confetti to celebrate. (She's a DIY queen like that.)

Sleepovers are a chance for our adoptable pets to test-drive life in a home, and for potential adopters to see if it’s a perfect fit. Nola? She made a glowing first impression. 💫

🐾 RUBIX IS READY TO COMPLETE YOUR PUZZLE 🧩

This handsome brindle blockhead has been perfecting the art of chill with occasional zoomies for 8 solid years, and he’s looking for someone to share his masterpiece with.

Rubix is:
✔️ A+ at leash walking
✔️ Down for storytime (yes, actual storytime at Brazos Bookstore—he’s a regular)
✔️ A connoisseur of belly rubs
✔️ That magical combo of “mellow potato” and “surprise goofball”

He’s kid-approved, couch-certified, and car ride–enthusiastic. If your love language is quiet companionship, moderate playtime, and adoring stares from a 65 lb sweetheart, Rubix is your guy.

Come meet him and see if he's the missing piece to your life puzzle. 💙

Once a nervous kitten, Bubbles is now running the show. She didn’t just pass her Fraidy Cat training—she aced it. And now? She’s helping train the humans.Yep. Bubbles is now assisting with BV3 volunteer cat training, showing off her social smarts and confidence like the little professor she is.

In Buddy’s Room, you’ll find her doing any number of genius-level activities: watching a movie, playing the guitar (okay, it's a toy guitar, but still), showing off her toy collection, or politely requesting treats like the polite prodigy she is.

Looking for a well-rounded, smarty cat who’s already ready for the family life? Bubbles is the one to float into your heart.

No matter the time of day, Ozzy is always rocking a proud smile and a tongue-out attitude. 😛 He’s here to remind us humans that it’s totally okay to be silly, joyful, and full of heart.

Ozzy’s the kind of pup who clicks with humans of all ages and lights up around new dog friends. Whether he’s trotting through an event or just vibing in the sun, he powers through life with the grin of a true champion.

💚 Ozzy is currently looking for a foster home! If you’ve got a little space and a lot of love, he’d be the happiest roommate you could ask for.
