To our amazing Pasadena and Greater Houston advocates:
Thank you for your continued support during this challenging time. We learned today that several of the dogs that were accepted by BARC last week after the tornado had been placed on their euthanasia list for Monday, 1/30. Notes indicated that behavior was a factor in their decision. We have been in communication with BARC and those dogs have now been removed from that list. BARC understands that we are committed to these dogs and that we will take them back into our care if another rescue group, adopter, or foster family cannot be found. We thank BARC for stepping up in our time of need and also continuing their efforts on finding them placement. Thank you to everyone who has shown us support, and please keep the offers of rescue groups, fostering, and adoption coming! We are sharing the photos of the five dogs at BARC with their ID numbers. Please share to your rescue contacts to help us find them placement. We have a long road ahead of us, serving our community as best we can with limited capacity.

Pledges needed 🙏🏻
I had put in an application for Mango from the Adoption Center we were supposed to introduce her to our kids and take her on an extended doggie date anyway we can find out where she went?
BARC must find a sustainable way to become a true no kill shelter. The excuses they too often use of condition and behavioral problems is not acceptable. Not every dog is suitable to being housed in an unfamiliar small and noisy kennel. I am very disappointed that they intended to take that action on those traumatized dogs. Thank you for the commitment to all of the animals submitted to the care of Pasadena. So happy they will be safe. We adopted an elderly and in poor condition dog from Pasadena in 2020. I fear she would never have made it out alive if she were at #BARC.
Thank you for standing up to the administration at BARC! It is very upsetting that during these times, they offer to help with dogs, then place them on the list!
I would NOT HAVE TAKEN THEM TO BARC, They EUTHANIZE DOGS LIKE RAIN POURING DOWN. They do not give their dogs a chance at LIFE at all. If they the staff does not like a dog DOWN IT GOES!!!! Which it TRULY UNFAIR and UNCALLED FOR…
BARC is unbelievable. Look what these poor animals have been through. Shame on them.
Oh, this is the best news one can hear!! Every day there is a large sadness for the fur babies that we could not save in time or have saved but still euthanized!! If we all come together as one and tell BARC and other kill shelters, “NO MORE KILLING!!” That would be a great start and if we could just be in one large group connecting with each other and using our resources, things would definitely change. Of course, the public would need to be guided and given low inexpensive programs to help them support their fur babies. I’m amazed as others, from all over the globe, can’t believe how we are so quickly able to euthanized the dogs at the drop of a hat. We should really should incorporate other countries(like the Netherlands) methods of how they handle the fur babies. They are obviously doing something right, why can’t we do the same?
I’m not sure if I’m missing something: there are two listed in the photos with ID 1861742
Barc is an evil place filled with death and suffering. When I saw your dogs on the list I was sickened. Thank you for your dedication and compassion to the dogs you rescue and care for. Sharing!
Omg! That is horrific. Why offer help if this was their plan.
Wonderful news!!
Is there an update on these pups?
Wow! I knew it! So glad you will be getting them back! BARC needs to be shut down- they are not helpful… AT ALL!
Thank you for still trying to save them! If we are approved foster with Pasadena, do we have to get approved through barc? For one of these 5?
Great job guys! I’ll gladly help transport these pups if y’all need help with that. My schedule during the week is very flexible.
That’s horrible. Thanks for not letting that happen. Keep it up.
Local foster offers needed
Y’all are so amazing 💙
Thank you for saving your dogs Pasadena. You guys work too hard to save the ones you get for them to do that. I feel horrible for any dog that ends up at BARC

Why would BARC take them to euthanize them? Of course their behavior is off. The animals went through a tornado!
Wow. They volunteer to take them in and then kill them. You need to get them back before they “accidentally” are put down.
