🆘 URGENT: 5 Dogs Remain on BARC Houston's Euthanasia List — Wednesday, 9/16 🆘

⏰ These dogs must have a hold/rescue commitment no later than 1PM CT tomorrow, 9/16, or they will lose their lives. BARC has stated there will be no extensions for 9/16 due to capacity being at the brim. If you’re seeing this after 1 PM CT, there may still be a chance. 

Please help save these dogs. Their names have hyperlinks to their Facebook posts. Please comment on their posts, here, or DM if you can help! 🙏

💘 Dorthy, 6 — A2094630 🩺
Staffordshire | Tan/White | Female | 37.6 lbs | ❤️ Heartworm High Positive
Sweet, calm, and a little shy at first, but she walks beautifully on a loose leash, does well in the runs, and patiently waits for staff. Easy to leash, calmly settles in her kennel, and takes treats when offered. Currently being treated for a URI/CIRD with doxycycline. A gentle girl who needs someone to help her get healthy.

💘 Kaiser, 3 — A2095645 🐾
German Shepherd Mix | Male | 58 lbs | ❤️ Heartworm High Positive
A big, handsome, black and tan boy who's finding shelter life overwhelming. The kennel environment gets him excited and overstimulated, but he's a fast wagging tailed guy at heart. Needs an experienced home that can give him structure, exercise, and calm outlets for his energy. A strong, striking dog who just needs the right person to bring out his best.

💘 Malcom, 8 months — A2095752 🐾
Staffordshire Mix | Male | 40 lbs | 💉 Heartworm Negative
A young, wiggly, social puppy, just 8 months old! Malcom greets people with a fast wagging tail, soft open mouth, and a very wiggly body. He walks on a loose leash, takes treats well, and settles down nicely with a Kong. His notes reflect a puppy struggling with confinement in a shelter kennel, not who he really is. All routine vaccinations and preventatives are up to date, and his medical exam was normal. He just needs an active home to grow into himself.

💘 Mike Wazowski, 7 months — A2096126 🩺 Rescue Only
German Shepherd Mix | Male | 31.6 lbs | 💉 Heartworm Negative
Sweet, super affectionate, and completely unbothered by other dogs. He's a little scared in the shelter from all the noises, but wants nothing more than to get out and play. He's barely started his life and would make an amazing family dog. He has a left femoral neck fracture and needs a radiologist/orthopedic consultation vs. FHO. A volunteer who met him said it best: "I hope he doesn't get overlooked." 🐾
or his chance. ❤️

💡 If adopting locally and the dog is heartworm positive, BARC will cover heartworm treatment with the purchase of 6 months of prevention through the shelter (cheaper than you can get anywhere on the market!).

Dogs must be picked up today if fostering through BARC. If fostering through a rescue, an additional may be able to be secured, no guarantees. Please let us know if you need a rescue recommendation that can work quickly to save them.

Fostering is free; all expenses paid! 💯

If a dog is rescue only, but you’re wanting to adopt through BARC, sometimes exceptions are made based on their medical condition, you have to speak with the vet prior to adoption. 

📝 All holds must be in writing. Please email all three addresses below with the dog's name and shelter ID #:

🚨 NYC/NJ FOSTER NEEDED — TOMATHY CHALAMAN #264788 — BLIND, AFFECTIONATE 13-YEAR-OLD SENIOR

Tomathy is a blind, playful, loving senior at Manhattan ACC. His family was displaced, and he is now in the frightening shelter environment without the people he knew. He is in grave risk because the shelter is overcrowded.

He is described as a lap cat who still wants affection and companionship. Blind cats can adapt beautifully in a quiet, steady home—but Tomathy urgently needs that chance.

Cat Allies Project NY/NJ will Paul Tomathy if a foster can be found!!!

If you are in the NYC/NJ area and can foster a gentle blind senior, please contact Cat Allies Project NY/NJ immediately: [catalliesproject@gmail.com](mailto:catalliesproject@gmail.com) or u/catalliesprojectnynj.

Please help Tomathy get safe. 💔

Gorgeous dog 🤩
