Who We Are

A small, independent, donor-funded shelter and clinic in Spring, Texas, with one simple belief: every paw deserves a home, and every family deserves help keeping theirs.

Our mission

Shelter. Heal. Advocate. Educate.

Pet Rescue Society exists to end animal suffering in our corner of Texas — one adoption, one surgery, and one conversation at a time.

Founded in 1987 by four neighbors fostering strays out of a garage, we have grown into a 9,000-square-foot campus with an adoption center, a public veterinary clinic, a pet pantry, and a cruelty-prevention team. We are an independent local nonprofit — not a chapter of any national group — and we receive no government funding.

Our campus is on Willow Bend Drive in Spring, about twenty miles north of downtown Houston. We serve north Harris and south Montgomery counties — Spring, Klein, Tomball, Humble, Kingwood, The Woodlands, and Conroe. We're deliberately small: roughly sixty animals are in our care at any one time, and the staff knows every one of them by name.

  • 1987 — Founded; 62 adoptions in year one
  • 1998 — First shelter building opens on Willow Bend Drive
  • 2009 — Public spay/neuter clinic launches
  • 2015 — Foster network grows past fifty homes
