In order to give voice to the voiceless, Houston PetSet and our supporters call on all Houstonians to research the voting history and campaign platforms of candidates to see what they have done to help the animals of our great city.

Together with our partners at the Texas Humane Legislation Network, our organization has been vocal in our support of several animal welfare bills during this session. To our great joy and relief, three important bills have been passed through the legislature and now make their way to the Governor’s desk!

For the past five years, Houston PetSet has organized regular transports from Houston-area animal shelters and rescues up to adoption partners in northern states such as Minnesota. In addition to being feel-good events, transports are a valuable tool for an oversaturated homeless animal population.

When Houston PetSet receives requests for emergency funds, we ask that pet owners tell us a little bit about their situation so we can better understand how our grants are helping. We recently gave Choe $750 towards her emergency vet bill for her beloved dog, Maverick.

The weather is about to take a dangerous turn – Texas law now mandates that pets be provided with adequate shelter from the elements, including extreme cold and rain.

When you sign up to be a Houston PetSet monthly donor, this heroic action makes you a lifesaver for the animals of Houston and beyond.

Animal homelessness is a crisis that CAN be solved if we can focus our efforts on the source of the problem.

If it’s been a while since you visited an animal shelter, you may not understand the crisis being faced by rescues great and small across the region.

If home wasn’t a safe place for you, for your children, or even for your pets, where would you run?

Houston PetSet is working to end animal homelessness and suffering in Houston, but we can’t do it alone.
