December is the perfect time to save furry friends by adopting cheaply or fostering. Make a difference and enjoy cuddles this holiday season.

December special adoption fees are here! 🎉 We are also still in need of Holiday fosters! Help us give some of our residents a break and some special cuddles for the holidays!

🐾 Want to make a BIG difference without the long-term commitment? Become a foster!
Fostering is a win-win for you and our furry friends! Not only do you get to help a sweet pup or kitty in need, but fostering is FREE—we’ve got everything covered, from food, supplies, to crates and even medical care!
Even just fostering for two weeks makes a huge impact because it helps clear kennel space at our overcrowded shelter and it gives our animals a temporary, safe place to rest and until they find forever homes!

PLS&R champ seven oh four Ed Bishop is back in the spotlight in both Bareback and Saddle Bronc riding at the National Finals Rodeo.

Who remembers seeing this amazing athlete at Pasadena Rodeo?! Good luck to #704 Ed Bishop and all the other Frontier Rodeo Company stock that has made the 2024 NFR! We will be cheering all of you on 🤠

Countdown to the #WNFR, Day 6: Saddle Bronc Horse, #704 Ed Bishop. This is his 2nd trip to the city of lights. In 2023 he was selected to the NFR in the Bareback riding. You could say he’s pretty versatile in both horse riding events. This year they won both the Bareback riding and Saddle Bronc riding on him at the Pasadena Livestock Show & Rodeo. Tucker Carriato was 88 in the Bareback and Brandon Lansford was 89.5 in the Bronc riding. American Hat Company | Justin Boots | CINCH JEANS | Frontier Rodeo Coffee Co

Help Russel: a clever medium-sized fetch loving potty trained pup not end up on the wrong side of a Butterball.

😔 Hi, I’m Russel. I was found in a homeless encampment with my friend, but now I’m all alone.
My friend got adopted, and while I’m happy for them, I can’t help but wonder… will I ever get my second chance? Here’s what I have to offer:
✅ Potty trained
✅ Dog-friendly
✅ Medium-sized
✅ Fetch enthusiast
✅ Smart and obedient

But despite all that I have to offer, I’m still here, waiting… hoping… for someone to see me and choose me.

I’ve been here too long, and now I’m on the Urgent List. I’m starting to lose hope. Please, can you help me before it’s too late?

🚨EXPERIENCED FOSTER OR RESCUE NEEDED🚨

This mama came in on Friday pregnant and had her 7 babies over the weekend. Fortunately, she didn’t have to have her babies outside, but the shelter is still not the best environment for brand new pups. Mama is a bit nervous, so we are asking for an experienced foster or rescue to take this family in.

If you want to foster or tag them, please reach out to [email protected] or call 713-848-5362. Her ID# is A175125.

Inmate Plex, has no more flex. Owner skipped town and he’s got to get bounced from the pound.

💔 Can I be the one to love you?
Hi, I’m Plex. I used to have a home, but after my owner moved, I was left behind. Since then, I’ve been waiting in this shelter for so long, hoping that someone will notice me…
The shelter staff says I’m a total sweetheart who loves people and dogs, but despite all of that, I’m still being passed by. It feels like no one wants me, and with every day that goes by, I’m starting to lose hope.
Now, I’m on the Urgent List, and time is running out for me. I just want to love and be loved in return. But I need someone like you to see me… before it’s too late.
