Our Dorian is truly a star 🤩 What better way to celebrate than to adopt a smart, handsome, charming guy like him?

Contact us or visit the shelter during open hours to meet Dorian, or any of our other available pets!

Happy to all of our favorite tail-wagging residents! 🐾 Meet Dorian - he's a pro at learning new tricks, eating all the treats, and striking the perfect pose. 😎 The best part? He's available for adoption at Mont Belvieu Animal Shelter! Stop by the shelter this week or visit www.montbelveu.net/adopt to find your new family member.

Charlie (previously Mike) was a long term resident at the shelter last spring and waited almost 4 months to be adopted by his forever family. We were so happy to receive an update from his adopters this week and see his adorable, goofy face again! Here's what they had to say about Charlie's adoption:

"We adopted Charlie just a few weeks after buying a house in the Mont Belvieu area in May of 2023. We already had 1 dog, but we wanted to get him a friend. When we met Charlie and brought him together with our other dog, we knew he was the missing piece to our family. Charlie has grown from a very shy and timid dog to a very healthy, playful, and vocal dog! He loves to play with his brother, but he also loves to sit in just about anyone's lap. He loves to give and receive love, and he's the happiest dog we have met. We are so glad and blessed he is ours! Thank you to the MBAS for taking him in and taking care of him before we adopted him; he has truly changed our lives for the better!"

We think it's safe to say that Charlie is living his best life 😍 What a lucky guy!

We are thrilled to say that 11 of our pets were adopted this weekend and 1,133 total found their forever homes!! None of this could happen without the collaborative efforts from shelter staff, volunteers, fosters, donors, sponsors, vet staff, GRB staff, and of course the adopters that open their homes and hearts to pets in need. Thank you!!

Final numbers from our MEGA Adoption Event are in! 🎉 Congratulations to the 1️⃣,1️⃣3️⃣3️⃣ pets that found loving homes this weekend in Houston! 💜 Much love to the 20+ shelter and rescue partners from across Texas that came together to make these adoption matches happen! 🙌🐾

Hi, I'm Ellis!
Age: Approx. 2 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 55 lbs
Breed: Siberian Husky
Favorites: Playing in the pool, exploring the play yard
Energy level: High
Training: Will sit for treat
Other important info about me: I’m an energetic guy that’s always up for an adventure! I’m still working on my obedience training and have some puppyish behaviors but I’m treat motivated and willing to learn. I am friendly with people of all ages, but due to my rambunctious nature I can be a little bit rough with younger kids. I appear to do well with other dogs (I love to play!), and I haven’t been tested with cats but I don't seem to have any reaction to the cats in the shelter.

*ADOPTED*
Hi, I'm Rocco!
Age: Approx. 10 months
Gender: Male
Weight: 68 lbs
Breed: Rottweiler

Favorites: Treats, leaning on and snuggling with people
Energy level: Moderate
Training: None apparent at this time
Other important info about me: I’m an affectionate dude looking for a new family to call my own! I have lots of love to give, and I am not shy when it comes to being snuggly with, well, everyone! I am friendly with people of all ages; I came to the shelter with another dog and we got along great, but I am showing some mixed reactions to other dogs in the kennels. It’s likely that I am experiencing some kennel stress and reactivity, but I should be tested with any current dogs in the household before you take me home to make sure we get along. I haven’t been tested with cats at this time.

Hi, I'm Keanu!

I came into the shelter on February 2nd, and am currently the shelter's longest resident! Thankfully, some really nice people decided to foster me and I've been staying with them for a couple months now. They have another dog who I love to play with and we've become good friends! I've enjoyed my time with them and they've taken very good care of me, but I would really like to find my forever family now 🥰

I am fully vaccinated, neutered, and up to date on parasite preventative. However I am heartworm positive, and will need heartworm treatment after adoption. *FREE AND LOW COST TREATMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE*

Age: Approx. 2 years
Gender: Neutered Male
Weight: 50 lbs
Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Favorites: Treats, exploring outside, playing with other dogs
Energy level: Moderate-high

Other important info about me: I’m a well-behaved dog looking for a place to call home.

Friends and followers,

We truly hate to keep making these types of posts, but this is our new normal and there does not appear to be an end in sight. We currently have 35 dogs in the building with a capacity for 16 dogs, and we are expecting at least 5 more to come in today!

All of the dogs you see here are at risk for euthanasia TODAY, and possibly more, if we cannot open up kennels by getting dogs into adoptive or foster homes. These are all wonderful pups with great personalities, some only puppies 5-6 months old!

Summer is a great time to bring home a new family member or foster, so reach out to us ASAP if you are able to open your home to any of the dogs in the shelter! We are offering some great incentives to foster as well (see the pinned post at the top of our page)!

We are open until 4 pm today so please stop by, call, email, or contact us on Facebook anytime!

06/14/2024

Want to help us save lives while adding some fun to your summer at the same time? We're still in dire need of fosters, so thanks to a very generous sponsor, we've got some great incentives to help get pets out of the shelter and into foster homes!

Visit us tomorrow at our foster rally from 10 am-2 pm to learn all about fostering, view the shelter pets, and get started! If you're already a foster with us, come on by to pick out a foster pet (or two)!

We look forward to seeing you!

06/13/2024

Join us this Saturday, June 15th for our monthly adoption event at Pet Supplies Plus - Baytown, TX! We will have multiple kittens and puppies (small and large breed) available, and Pet Supplies Plus has everything you need to get started with your new forever family member!

Hope to see you there 🐶🐱

We are currently housing the highest amount of animals than we ever have in the shelter 😥
Here's why we need your help now more than ever:

1. MBAS has a normal operating capacity of 16 dog kennels and 16 cat kennels. We currently have 46 dogs and 25 cats in our facility, with more coming in every day!
2. There are dogs being temporarily housed in cat kennels, side rooms, in crates in the hallway, and outdoor kennels. While this is ok for short periods of time, this is not humane long term housing, and these dogs will need to be placed in standard kennels as soon as possible. Long term dogs in the shelter are at IMMEDIATE RISK for euthanasia to accommodate for new incoming dogs.
3. Every aspect of our shelter is operated by just 2 staff members. Everything from kennel cleaning for the 71 animals in our facility, responding to animal services calls, answering phones and emails, managing social media, medical treatments and vet appointments, intake and adoptions, volunteer management, adoption events, etc. We are spread very thin, and are doing our absolute best, but we simply cannot manage the shelter with this amount of animals.

Here's how you can help!

1. Adopt or foster. We need adopters and fosters for dogs especially! If you are interested, please contact [email protected] ASAP! We have puppies, adults, large and small breed!
2. If you have found a stray animal in Mont Belvieu, we ask that before you bring it to us that you attempt to locate an owner by scanning for a microchip and searching/posting on social media, checking with neighbors, etc. This will help us avoid any unnecessary euthanasia due to owned dogs entering the shelter. Do not bring stray animals from outside the city limits of Mont Belvieu, as we cannot accept them at our facility.
3. Volunteer at the shelter. We can use all the help we can get cleaning kennels, exercising dogs, and with laundry and dishes! Find more info and apply at montbelvieu.net/volunteer.
4. Spread the word! Sharing our posts and available pets page helps bring visibility to our shelter and pets in need. All of our available pets can be found at montbelvieu.net/adopt.

As always, we thank you for your support 💚
