🐾 It's ! Your support helps us give Houston's forgotten pups a second chance at happiness.

At Forgotten Coast Animal Rescue, every dollar goes directly to saving and caring for dogs in need. Right now, several of our precious pups are in professional boarding facilities while waiting for their forever (or foster!) homes. While this ensures they receive excellent care, it does stretch our resources.

Want to make a difference? Here's how:
- Make a tax-deductible donation (Venmo, Paypal, stock or checks accepted)
- Shop our Amazon Wishlist
- Purchase FCAR merch
- Foster a dog (it's free & rewarding!)

Check out the link below for all the ways to support our mission! As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your generous contribution is fully tax-deductible:

Hit us up if you think either of the dogs on the sofa are cute and want them.

They’re sweet and one of them is crazy (but we’re not revealing which one if you’re not applying to adopt 😜).

But seriously here’s their profiles:

🚨 LOOK INTO MY EYES. 👀 YOU ARE FEELING… ADOPTIVE. 🌀

Hi! I’m Otto, and I’m here to steal your heart and maybe your couch. I’m love playing in the water. Slide me a floatie and let's jump in! Also, rumor has it, I'm the most treat-motivated dog you’ll ever meet. Hmm. What else? I’m the best at playing fetch, and I can even launch my own ball if you have the right machine.

Let's make this simple: 🥎 I require ALL the balls. ☁️ I demand a soft couch for maximum snoozing. 🍦 Pup cups must be supplied regularly. 🦴 Treats? Also ALL of them. ❤ Finally, LOTS of love and a PERMANENT home.

I get along well with other dogs, and I’m cool with cats. I do need a family that’s patient and confident, especially when I’m feeling a little shy or nervous. Oh, and any kids should be old enough to keep up with my zoomies and understand how awesome dogs like me work—12 and up, please!

If you think you’re ready for a lifetime of love, laughs, and epic games of fetch, fill out an application and let’s get this adventure started!

Apply to adopt me here: forgottencoastanimalrescue.org/adoption-app

P.S. Are you still staring into my eyes? Good. Now imagine me on your couch, and you know what to do… 😌💙

Meet Barbie and Chloe!

We know what you're thinking, part staffy AND part chow chow? Yes, we're serious! Click through until you see the DNA results!

Now that you're intrigued, meet Barbie and Chloe! They're 2 smart, independent sisters who are looking for a forever home together! Rescued from a high-kill shelter, these gentle girls have come a long way from their semi-feral beginnings. They completed a board-and-train program where they made incredible progress and are now ready to settle into a loving home that understands their unique personalities.

Barbie and Chloe are both quiet and calm, thriving in a routine that allows them to be themselves. While they may not be the cuddly type, the will be forever grateful to join your family. Both play wonderfully with other dogs, and have grown to appreciate the comforts of indoor life. They're very smart and love to explore at their own pace.

These sisters are bonded and do everything together—from playing in the yard to resting peacefully in their shared kennel. They’ll do best in a patient home that respects their independence. Barbie and Chloe may not seek out constant attention, but their companionship and sweet nature will shine through.

Our happy boy Riley is still looking for his forever home!

Riles is
🐾 silly
🐾 playful
🐾 confident
🐾 loves fetch (but isn’t a star athlete)
🐾 looking for a seasoned family to join
🐾 has all basic training down
🐾 great with other confident and chill dogs

Riley’s trainer has said before if he didn't have 4 dogs of his own, he would've adopted Riley on the spot. We’re looking for a home that’s also committed to keeping up his training. His family should match Riley’s confidence and discipline for routine. In turn they'll be rewarded with a family member that is unique and loving. This guy bonds for life!

Wishing a very spooky evening to all who celebrate! 🎃

Featuring: Otto! An adoptable, very not-scary cutie!

A haunted house, but every adoption inquiry asks, “Is this dog hypoallergenic?”

A haunted house, but people only want a small dog that doesn't bark or shed.

A haunted house, but every meet and greet falls through last minute.

A haunted house, but Otto, Miles, Barbie and Chloe are in boarding with no foster offers.

A haunted house, but you keep forgetting all you have to do to adopt one of our dogs is go to https://forgottencoastanimalrescue.org/adoption-app

What's your rescue themed haunted house?

Ours is definitely that all these good dogs STILL haven't been adopted. Black Dog Syndrome is seriously spooky. Black dogs often face unique challenges such as lower adoption rats, longer lengths of stay in shelters, and misconceptions about them seeing less friendly, more intimidating, or even unlucky. These good boys and girls are anything but scary!

Bishop is looking for his forever home! He’d love a nice calm home to call his own. Bishop is dog, cat and people friendly. He truly just wants a sunspot in a yard, and someone to let him be himself.

Bishop has been waiting for years for his forever home. Recently, his foster had to stop fostering him as well, and we haven’t been able to find him somewhere else to land. Poor Bishop is in boarding wondering when his luck will change.

Drop a comment if you want to know more about this 7 year old boy!

It’s hard for a cute pittie to get into the spooky, celebratory mood while still waiting to be adopted.

Otto loves (tolerates?) dress up. He is good with fellow dogs and cats as well. Otto would love nothing more than to cuddle up on Halloween with a new family and a scary movie marathon.

Comment below what your favorite scary movie is to help get Otto attraction with the almighty algorithm!

Choose your goof ball! Knight, dino, wizard, or just himself?

Rusty Roo is cute in all forms! Dog, cat, people friendly— Rusty can do it all. He walks well on a leash. He loves to play and cuddle. He is a great dog that will complete any family.

Rusty has sadly been waiting forever for his forever home. He’s had a patient foster that’s never given up on him. We’d love to see him celebrating this upcoming holiday season with a family of his own.

We are delighted to share that Lady Sable has been adopted! She was rescued from the streets in December 2022 by our founder Courtney. It took all this time to find her perfect family, but they’re so in love with her already.

Anyone volunteering in rescue right now knows that adoptions are down, and have been taking longer. This is such a victory and we are really proud to be part of her story.

Thank you to everyone that’s supported us in any way since December 2022. This is your victory too.

Bishop needs a foster or adopter urgently!

He’s a chocolate lab. Bishop was picked up as a stray in 2020 and taken to a high kill shelter. The day he was set to be euthanized a lady sprung him as a foster and had no rescue come forward in spite of several pleas for FOUR years!

Bishop has waited all this time, not having a forever family, not having someone that calls him their own. We stepped up for Bishop and he’s currently in boarding. He needs a place to land NOW. This guy deserves to be in a home, it’s been too long.

Someone stepped up for him as a foster, then backed out TWICE the day he was supposed to move to their home from boarding.

He’s very easy, super chill, dog and cat friendly (not really interested). He’s on a thyroid med that we will supply. He’s 7yrs old, great on walks and car rides, neutered, UTD on shots, HW negative, does not like to be kenneled, he’s not destructive at all, he’s a little shy with new people but warms up quickly.

Someone give this senior boy a chance!!

We are really sad to share that neither Bishop nor Otto have fosters, or adopters right now.

Otto (on the right) was a street rescue, that after nearly TWO YEARS got adopted finally! Then, through no fault of his own, he was returned when his family's housing situation changed and it was no longer in his best interest to be there. We no longer have an open foster for him, so he's sadly in boarding.

Bishop (on the left) lost his family due to medical emergencies they faced and then his foster went through the same thing. Bishop is in boarding, and we worry he will shut down if he doesn't go back into a home environment soon.

Both Otto and Bishop are extremely good dogs! Both are dog friendly. Otto loves toys, frisbee, the pool, and playing. Bishop honestly just wants a sunny or soft place to lounge. Both boys are a little shy upon meeting, but settle in to being best friends with their people.

Please, please share with someone that may be interested in fostering or adopting either of them. We desperately need more fosters.

Hey my name is Rusty! I came here to steal hearts! I’m about 4 years old and very social. I have a lot of love to give and absolutely love to cuddle up.

I was found tied to a tree with minimal shelter in this hot Texas heat. A nice lady took me in and found me a temporary home. Now I’m looking for something more permanent.

An ideal home for me would be someone who wants to play, cuddle, and take me on exploring walks. I’m great with dogs and don’t mind cats.

Bishop’s looking sideways at that thermometer this week! Where’s the cooler weather so he can enjoy his sun spot?

Bishop is about 7 years old and looking for his forever home. He’s loyal, loving, gentle and has a laid back personality. He loves cheese. He likes other dogs, and has been in foster homes with as many as five dogs. Bishop is a tad shy, but he really just wants people that want to spend time with him, to go on walks and to occasionally get a car ride going anywhere but the vet!

Bishop’s perfect day would be eating breakfast, taking a nap after breakfast, going on a walk during the day, and then cuddling up with you after a good chewy treat! Then sunbathing out in the yard!

If you agree there's no such thing as too big for a lap dog, he’s your guy!

Otto is waiting for something to celebrate — like oh, getting adopted!

Otto is dog, cat, and human friendly. He’s presently in boarding looking for someone to break him out as a foster or adopter.

He loves learning new puzzles, playing with others, and snuggling up to his people. Otto would prefer a home that understands he’s shy upon first meeting new people. Once you’re in the club though, he’s loyal for life!

As cute as he is, we all know black dogs take so much longer to get the attention they deserve. Help us out and share his face with those looking for a new dog for the family!

Please enjoy 1 minute of Miles' destroying a stuffed toy under supervision 😂 He is 1 part performer, 1 part loving goof, and 1 part slobber. This big guy is a young 4-year-old boxer mix that's willing to work and earn your affection! Miles' ideal home is an experienced family that has a soft spot for big guys like him. He will thrive in an active home that can provide patience, routine, and structure. Miles wants a best friend that will be his advocate. Miles would do best in an only dog home, but is capable of coexisting with female dogs. He loves outings (going to parks, Home Depot, car rides, exploring the world). Miles is highly treat-motivated and EXTREMELY eager to please. He walks well on a leash, and has mastered all basic obedience commands in any environment. If you want to meet, please fill out an adoption application: https://forgottencoastanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Wonton was brought into BARC as an injured stray! Sarah Ibison stepped up like she does so often to say we could take him. This sweet boy had a successful leg amputation this past Wednesday. We’re so happy to give him a fresh start in life!
