Harris County Pets

"Animal shelter, the smell inside makes you can't stay in it for a long time. They are all adult dogs. You can only see puppies aged 4 to 8 months on weekends, but they are all stray dogs of mixed breeds. There is no good variety.I registered for an appointment a week ago and was happy to go to adopt a Labrador puppy, but the staff wouldn't let me check the puppy. Why? If the puppy is disabled, if he doesn't like me, at least interact with each other. Why is the staff so arrogant and prejudiced? I decided to go to another animal shelter to adopt one, and it will never come back!"

"the shelter is so clean and organized. seems like they actually cared about the animals. all the staff is friendly and super informative. i got my pet from here and im 10/10 satisfied with it. thanks!"

"The Houston area has a surplus of animals and they are doing the best they can to help them find permanent homes. They only allow 3 to get seen outside of kennel and they don't have much insight in their personalities. I thought this was understandable but very limiting as personalities outside kennel can be very different and many would be overlooked. They do highlight the 3/3/3 rule which is important to understand if unfamiliar with dogs. Some kennels were dirty but I believe that is just the mess they made between clean ups. Not so messy I would believe they are living in filth/neglected. I was able to take the one I favored out to the play yard after the initial private room greeting and that further confirmed the connection I felt. Adoption holds are only done in person. I was shocked they didn't ask if others were living in my home. They asked about other pets, I assume for vet check, but not people/children. I still went and looked at other dogs at other shelters that day and could have withdrawn my adoption hold over the phone if another was favored but each dog I saw was mentally compared to him and my decision was finalized. There was a bit of confusion on my pickup appointment. Initially told neuter would occur Thursday then was called Tuesday to schedule pickup wed or thur. Scheduled for Thursday and received text confirmation but their computer had me listed as Wednesday pickup. Thankfully they called and I still was able to get my new dog, I would have been very disappointed if an error resulted in him going home with/adopted by someone else. We are still adjusting but I feel very confident in my selection and happy with the process overall."

"I had an excellent experience here! Every staff member was awesome, helpful and kind! Meeko is so happy and his new home with us! We absolutely adore him!"
