Programs That Keep Pets & People Together
Shelter walls are only part of the story. Our community programs prevent surrender, fight hunger, and make every animal's stay with us a healthy, happy one.
Upcoming Events
Adoption specials, supply drives, classes, and community days — all free to attend unless noted.
Back-to-School Vaccine Clinic
Walk-in vaccines at half price, 9am–1pm at the Pet Rescue Clinic. First 50 pets receive a free nail trim.
Kitten Shower & Supply Drive
Tour the kitten nursery, meet bottle babies, and help us stock formula, heating pads, and blankets. 12–4pm.
Pet Pantry Distribution Day
Free pet food and supplies for families in need, drive-through style. 10am until supplies run out.
Mutt Strut 5K Fun Run
Our flagship fundraiser at Riverbend Park — timed 5K, one-mile family walk, and a costume contest. $35 entry.
Senior Pets, Senior People Adoption Day
Adopters 60 and better take home any pet aged 6+ fee-free, complete with a senior-pet starter kit.
Santa Paws Photo Day
Holiday photos with your pet and Santa, $15 suggested donation. All species welcome (yes, even the bearded dragon).
The Pet Rescue Pantry
No family should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet.
Our pantry distributes free dog and cat food, litter, and basic supplies to any family experiencing hardship — no paperwork, no judgment. Last year we kept an estimated 340 pets in their homes and out of the shelter system.
- Distribution days on the last Saturday of every month
- Emergency food assistance available weekdays at the front desk
- Drop-off shelves at partner churches in Klein, Tomball, and Humble
- Donations of unopened food accepted during all open hours
Happy Minds, Healthy Animals
A shelter stay should never mean boredom. Enrichment keeps our animals relaxed, well-adjusted, and ready to shine for adopters.
Doggy Playgroups
Daily supervised playgroups let dogs burn energy and practice social skills. Volunteers rotate every dog through the play yards at least once a day.
Cat Enrichment Carts
Puzzle feeders, catnip bubbles, and bird-watching windows — our feline enrichment team designs a fresh activity menu every week.
Shelter School
Staff trainers teach long-stay dogs basic manners — sit, leash skills, crate comfort — so they walk out the door ready for home life.
