Big thanks to comedian Josh Johnson for giving Special Pals the chance to be part of his show at House of Blues Houston this past Sunday! 🎤 Our volunteers had a blast and loved being able to share more about the incredible work we do. It was a perfect mix of laughs and spreading the word! 😄🙌. We appreciate his support!

Victorious had a wonderful time in foster over the storm and we couldn’t be more proud of how well he did! 🏡 He was a champ during his bath and nail trim, showing just how sweet and easygoing he is.

This playful pup loves other dogs and cats, and though he’s still a puppy at heart, he’s learning how to play nice and make friends with everyone! 🎾 He made great strides in training and he’s fantastic on a leash.

If you’re looking for a loving and fun dog to add to your family, Victorious could be the perfect match! 🐶

❄️ A Snowstorm with a Happy Ending! ❄️

While last week's snowstorm may have been tough for some, it brought happy endings for many of our dogs! 🐾❤️

Every time we send our adoptables to foster, we hold onto hope that it could lead to an adoption—and this time, we had a few fosters turn into forever homes! 🎉🐶. We had a few fosters find our dogs homes with friends by posting them on social media.

Some of our longest residents—dogs who’ve been waiting for their chance—finally found the love they deserve and will no longer have to wait in the shelter. 🏡💕

A huge thank you to our amazing fosters and adopters for making these dreams come true. 💖

Meet Mimi! Mimi is a 3 yr old terrier mix looking for her new home. Mimi is a small 15 pounds. She is currently at Camp Bow Wow playing with the other campers while she waits.

Special Pals is closed today due to the weather. ❄️❄️❄️

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who opened their homes to foster pets during the Winter Storm Enzo. ❄️⛄️ Your kindness has provided Special Pals pets with warmth, safety, and love during such a critical time. Our community has shown incredible compassion, and we couldn't do this without you. Thank you for being the heroes to the cats and dogs when they needed you the most.

Special Pals placed a record breaking number of over 60 animals into foster for this storm. This has allowed all the staff to stay safe and the animals have a warm home. Our hearts are full. The tears of joy have flowed. ❤❤

This gives them a chance to stay cozy and comfortable, while still being available for their forever families.

Do you have a little extra room in your heart and home? We’d love to have some help to ensure these sweet pups don’t have to face the cold alone!

📧 For more info or to offer a temporary foster home, please email us at [email protected] or stop by the shelter at 3830 Greenhouse Rd.

Black Dogs Are Awesome – Just Ask Genevieve!

It’s a sad fact that black dogs are often the last to be adopted, but at Special Pals, we know they are some of the best companions you can have. Take Genevieve, for example – this sweet, spirited 1-year-old is as awesome as they come.

Genevieve thinks you’re pretty awesome too, and she’s hoping the two of you can be an unstoppable pair of awesomeness!

We have so many black adult dogs and puppies at the moment so come meet this lovely lady and all of our pups at Special Pals – together, you two could be an awesome team!
