Guardian Pit Bull Rescue
 |
Guardian Pit Bull Rescue is an organization dedicated to saving the lives of Pit Bulls. Together, our goal is to educate people by providing accurate information about this amazing and misunderstood group of breeds and find good homes for these great dogs.
Our first priority is to educate the public about the breed and promote responsible pit bull ownership. We strive to advocate for a breed that otherwise has no voice and falls victim to breed specific legislation, discrimination and cruelty due to an undeserved reputation. Guardian Pit Bull Rescue works directly with local animal shelters to rescue the breed from euthanasia and aid in rehabilitation for permanent home placement as a beloved family pet. It is our goal to dispel the myth, fight ignorance and allow the public to know this breed for their loyalty, compassion and unconditional love that truly defines them. Guardian Pit Bull Rescue along with Jimisu and her Beauties will continue to fight for the rights of this breed to have a fair chance at life. We will educate, advocate and rescue and will continue in our efforts until they all have homes. Educate, Advocate, Rescue Click here to learn more about Guardian Pit Bull Rescue |
Friends For Life

Friends For Life
The Mission Statement of Friends For Life is to provide a No Kill option to the Houston community by rescuing, treating and rehoming animals within the No Kill model of sheltering. We envision a community in which no animal will be killed for want of a loving home. Shelters accept their rightful responsibility as guardians and protectors of animals and we, as a society, accept no less from them. We rescue, medically treat, rehabilitate and place animals into loving homes. We accept all animals regardless of age, breed or condition limited only by available resources. We provide a unique Thiinking Outside the Shelter program to offer support to owners so that they may keep their animals in their homes and out of shelter systems altogether. This program was introduced in 2008 and has kept thousands of animals out of the shelter system and in homes. Our humane education/engagement programs promote the view that animals are not disposable, but are companions who deserve our care and compassion. Our youth advocacy programs facilitate bringing to life kids' ideas to make the world a better place. While there is immediate animal rescue work to be done, the path to permanent change is in expanding our circle of compassion toward animals and toward each other.

Scout's Honor Rescue
Scout's Honor Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization that focuses on rescuing and placing dogs and cats in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas. Scout's Honor Rescue was formed in May 2006 by six volunteer rescuers who decided to pool their experience and love for animals to make a difference in Houston. Scout's Honor is often the last resort for animals who are left abandoned to die in pounds or on the streets.
Scout's Honor rescues animals from city pounds, including animals from Houston's Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC) and the City of La Porte animal shelter. Scout's Honor also takes in animals living on the streets. We do not limit our program to healthy animals or particular breeds, and we often save animals from abusive situations. Scout's Honor provides these beautiful creatures with a second chance to be placed in loving, permanent homes so that they can receive the love and attention they sorely deserve. Since our formation, Scout's Honor has rescued over 900 animals and currently has over 75 dogs and cats in our program!
Scout's Honor's rescue program is "foster based;" that is, each of the animals we rescue is placed in a temporary foster home, where it receives much-needed love, care, and structure while it waits for its permanent home. We could not exist without our wonderful foster parents. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent or in learning more about fostering for Scout's Honor, please click on our "Fostering" link and read more!

ASPCA National Shelter Outreach, PREVENTION OF ANIMAL CRUELTY
Q. How do I report an animal cruelty or neglect situation in my area?
A. Cruelty to animals is illegal and considered a felony in 33 states. To report an inhumane situation in your area, contact your local police department, SPCA, humane organization or animal advocacy group. To locate an animal advocacy group in your area, log onto www.aspca.org and click on "Report Animal Cruelty." Ask for the Case Number so you can follow up with the situation and make sure it has been investigated. Be persistent if necessary.
Q. I am aware of a situation where the family pet is being harmed and I think other family members are also being abused. What should I do?
A. There is now more recognition of the fact that animal abuse frequently occurs within families where there is other domestic violence, often directed at women, children or the elderly. The animal may be targeted for abuse as a way of intimidating, threatening, or frightening family members. There is also a connection between children who witness or experience violence at home and their subsequent cruel treatment of animals. All states have child protective services hotlines for reporting child neglect or abuse. For more information or to ask us to send you a packet of information, contact Dr. Stephanie LaFarge in the Animal Sciences Department at (212) 876-7700 x4355.
Q. I am disappointed with the services and/or conditions of my local shelter/humane organization. What can I do to make it better for the animals?
A. Communicate your concerns directly with the executive director. If you do not feel your complaint receives an adequate hearing, contact the board of directors. The membership of a non-profit board is public knowledge and can be obtained from the shelter management or by making a Freedom of Information Act request to the state Attorney General's office. If the shelter is a municipal agency or has a service contract with the local municipality, contact the city council and county administrator as well. You can also file a complaint with your local Better Business Bureau which may have a separate philanthropic division. For more information and materials, call the ASPCA National Shelter Outreach Department at (212)876-7700 x4403 or e-mail outreach@aspca.org.
