Houston doesn’t need any more dogs. This is why we do what we do.

That’s Olga and her 7-week old puppies. Surrendered to BARC by their owner on 6/2 and all on the euthanasia list 6/6 due to no space. (A rescue is taking them all today.)

We started The Empty Shelter Project in 2017 because we can’t adopt our way out of this overpopulation problem. Spay and neuter is the best solution!!

Hello good morning everyone well, I guess I'm heading in the right direction with the dogs.
Lucky two of our dogs were submitted to the Humane Society in Middletown New York . They have agreed to take two over the 2 Dog, Pepsi and Zander
but we have to get them up there..
We need to get them up there as soon as possible. We need to raise funds for them. Hc and a check up.. please donate for the transport to Ny.. Unfortunately, the other four were not accepted. We need to continue looking for a rescue for them or Humane Society.

Alley Cat Allies is compelled to address the shockingly biased and dangerously misinformed portrayal of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), community cats, and the people who protect them in the article ‘How the ‘No Kill” Movement Betrays Its Name’ published in The New Yorker. The “article,” which...

This is some s**t!! Share this far and wide .. Why did they leave some dogs behind !!

A Chatham County resident was charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty after over three dozen dogs were seized from her property Thursday in Bear Creek.

A middle-aged woman peeks into his kennel. She smiles. He wags his tail. Maybe she will adopt him, he’s thinking.

Then she walks away.

Par for the course. Everyone who peeks into his kennel usually walks away. Nobody wants an old dog. At this shelter, everyone adopts young dogs who can’t control their bladders. Humans want puppies. Not geriatrics.

If only humans could understand canine language, he would’ve told the lady all about himself and what a good boy he is. It’s a shame that humans don’t speak Dog.

He’s not sure how he ended up in this place. Once he had a family. But they didn’t want him. So they left him here. He waited for them to come back, staring out his kennel door. But his owners were done with him.

That was a lifetime ago. Since then, he’s been stuck in this loud room of kennels with dogs who cry all day long.

He’s overheard the humans’ remarks about him. “How old is that dog?” they ask, pointing at him. “He looks kind of gray.” “Mommy, I don’t want an old dog.” “Poor old guy, nobody’s gonna want an elderly dog.”

Elderly. Who would want an elderly dog? The worst part is, it’s been so long since he’s been touched. When you’re a puppy everyone showers you with affection. They’re always touching you. But when you’re an old dog, they just ignore you.

He wishes he could tell the humans what a good dog he is, tell them about all his skills. Being old has its advantages. For starters, he can hold his bladder, he knows how to watch TV, he knows how to cuddle, how to be patient, he knows how to fend off dangerous UPS men.

But it doesn’t matter. This kennel is life now. He knows that one day he will be led to the back room with the doctor, like all the other old dogs. And that will be the end.

The door to his cellblock opens. The place comes unglued with barking dogs.

He can see a little girl. She’s cute. She looks around for a few minutes. Surprisingly, she stops in front of his cage.

She says, “What’s this one’s name?”

“We don’t know,” says the woman employee.

“You don’t know his name?”

“We get a lotta dogs without names, honey.”

The girl approaches his kennel. He doesn’t bother standing. Why waste his energy? You see one kid, you've seen them all. She’s not going to adopt him. She’ll end up adopting a rambunctious Labrador-mix.

The child reaches through the bars. “Come here, boy,” she says.

He doesn’t move. She seems sweet enough, sure, but he’s no dummy. This is the same old song and dance. They pet you. Then they figure out you’re an elderly dog, and they keep moving.

“Let’s go, sweetie,” says the girl’s mother. “Let’s go look at the puppies.”

“But I want to pet him.”

A long pause. The woman says, “But don’t you wanna see the younger dogs?”

“Please?”

The cage door opens. This gets his attention. Namely, because his cage door NEVER opens.

The little girl steps in. He’s on his feet now. He’s nervous. Panting. Heart beating fast. Who is this child and what does she want?

She reaches her hand outward. She comes close. She rests her palm on his forehead. The child rubs his fur. And she doesn’t just rub him, she hugs him.

“You’re not too old,” the girl whispers.

Before he realizes what’s happening, the employee places a leash on him and leads him out of the kennel. They are parading him down the aisle. He’s leaving this dreadful place.

Can it be? Is this for real? Or is this a cruel joke?

All the dogs are screaming as he walks by.

In a few minutes, it's official. The little girl signs a stack of papers then takes him home. She names him Jackson. She gives him a brand new world. She even lets him sleep in her bed.

It all happens so fast that it still seems like some kind of elaborate fantasy. Yesterday; death row. Today; Buckingham Palace.

Sometimes, late at night, when he sleeps beside her, he still can’t get over how beautiful his rescuer is. This girl who makes waking up each morning worthwhile.

This 10-year-old child, who makes him feel as though he had a purpose in the world. Who taught him how to appreciate being alive. Oh, if this kid only knew what she had done by choosing him. If only she knew that she had saved his life. If she knew the devotion he felt. If she only knew how much he loved her.

It really is a shame humans don’t speak Dog.

Do you know WHY that cat is bullying and attacking other cats?

Because he is an unfixed male, and those hormones affect his behavior.

Unfixed males will mark territory, fight with other cats spreading disease, and venture into other territories for mating, which causes chaos along the way. That chaos will 100% cause injuries in male cats.

An unfixed male cat's chance of testicular cancer is high!

That unfixed, free roaming male cat is responsible for all the kittens born each year!

Remember to fix ALL THE CATS!

🚨🚨 🚨🚨🚨CODE RED🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Good Morning from Smith County. I understand the overwhelming issue of to many animals is everywhere. And we here at Smith County is once again full.
We have 68 dogs in our shelter at the moment and 40 of those are puppies that are 4 months and younger. We were hit with litter after litter the past few days.
We also have 2 momma dogs that are nursing 7 puppies each and 1 dog were are waiting on to give birth. My puppy room only hold 10 puppies so we have had to put puppies out in the main shelter and into our kennels for our large dogs. BUT we continue to get calls left and right that someone has found 9 puppies or someone has 8 puppies that were just dumped. In order for us to continue to help these other puppies that were dumped we need to get some dogs weather adult or puppies out of the shelter.
We are reaching out to see if any rescue might have room or foster (I understand fosters are hard to come by right now).

MOMMA AND 8 BABIES

🐾URGENT🐾FOSTER NEEDED🐾OR RESCUE🐾
We have a Female German Shepherd mix named Monica. She is roughly 2 years old and has just had 8 PUPPIES! Monica is a very sweet girl. Monica was picked up December 29, 2023 and came in with Ross. We picked both of them up and now are at the shelter. Monica did not show any signs of being pregnant but one of our kennel techs came in and she had 8 pups, so we moved her away from everyone.
Monica is a very sweet girl and loves her puppies so much. If you try to hold a baby than she will walk up to you and take her baby back. It is the sweetest of her to be a very loving and caring momma dog. We do have a heat lamp on her and her pups but with the temperatures about to drop this coming week. Our shelter will get colder and puppies can not hold their own body heat. They are also have their eyes open now and are starting to move around. Monica is getting stressed being here at the shelter where she starts to whine because she is stressed. We hope that all the wonderful rescue will be able to help us with her.
On January 2, 2024 around early that morning Monica started giving birth. She gave birth to 8 beautiful health puppies, but unfortunately the runt did not make it and that is leaving 7 other wonderful puppies.
Now this is where we need your help. A shelter that has new stray intakes coming in every day is NOT a place for newborn puppies. They are more prone to catching anything that may be brought into the shelter. They also cannot regulate their body temperatures like the adults can. If you have been in our shelter you know that we have NO WAY of separating them. Please see updated picture of Monica and her beautiful pups.

WE ARE DESPERATE TO GET Monica AND ALL OF HER PUPPIES OUT OF HERE!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Today was a long day for me . They started off with me taking slinky to the vet to be checked out well it ended up that slinky has an infection in his ears, poor little thing so on our way back, I saw a dead dog on the side of the curve, so what did I do ? I decided to make a U-turn and pick it up to get to the vet to get scan for a microchip. Unfortunately she did not have one. According to the vet tech, she was pregnant she left this earth with her babies. I named her Sandy, and sadly, we also had a bird that we found dead so we buried them together and they became angels the same day and gained their wings . If anybody recognize this little girl Sandy, please let me know. We found her on 64 right next to the chicken plant in Siler City North Carolina . This dog belong to you please reach out to me as I have her remaining in my backyard . Fly sweet babies
