At Houston Pets Alive!, our mission is to give the most at-risk adoptable dogs and cats a second chance at life.
Through our HPA! Rescue Program, we partner with shelters throughout the Gulf Coast region, pulling animals that need us the most—those facing euthanasia due to space constraints, medical needs, or time limits.
Unlike traditional rescues, we focus on saving pets directly from local shelters rather than taking in strays or public surrenders. This approach not only helps shelters in dire need but also ensures that these animals receive some initial vetting, allowing us to maximize our resources and save even more lives.
Once in our program, every pet receives full veterinary care appropriate for their age, including spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, and preventative treatments. They are then placed in loving foster homes or at our pet store partner locations until they find their forever families.
By rescuing from shelters, we’re not just saving individual animals—we’re helping to reduce overcrowding, giving lost pets a chance to reunite with their owners, and supporting our shelter system in its life saving efforts. Through the HPA! Rescue Program, we’re making a real impact—one life at a time.
