About Us
There are millions of pets across the country without a proper home or caregiver. Numbers show that large breed dogs in shelters have a more difficult time getting adopted and are put to death at a higher rate.
The Lance McCullers Jr. Foundation is a non-profit organization established by Lance and his family to invest, bring awareness, and create programs to advocate for stray and homeless animals across the country. The goal is to support shelters and programs that promote pet adoptions and continue on the journey to make Houston a no-kill city.
“We are so proud to work with Lance, Kara and The Lance McCullers Jr. Foundation,” said Tena Lundquist Faust, Co-President of Houston PetSet. “Our organizations are aligned in the mission to solve Houston’s homeless animal crisis and our partnership is a critical component of achieving that goal.”
Houston K9 Heroes & Partners
Houston PetSet
Houston PetSet’s mission is to end homelessness and suffering of companion animals and elevate their status in society. We envision a world where companion animals do not suffer and are valued by society.
It’s estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of homeless dogs and cats wandering the streets of Houston. In addition to the suffering homeless animals endure, the costs to our community are staggering. In some neighborhoods, children are afraid to go outside or to walk to school because they fear being attacked by a stray dog. Many of the elderly are also fearful and are prisoners in their own homes.
Rescued Pet Movement
Rescued Pets Movement Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides a second chance for thousands of homeless dogs and cats through rehabilitation and transport to forever homes in communities throughout the United States and Canada that have a demand for adoptable pets.
Each year, thousands of adoptable dogs and cats are needlessly euthanized in the Greater Houston area each year simply because of pet overpopulation. After working with various rescue groups for many years, the founders of Rescued Pets Movement realized that the best way to save these dogs and cats is to build solid relationships with reputable rescue groups here and in areas of the United States and Canada where there is a need for adoptable pets and transport the animals to these organizations using our own vans and drivers.
Harris County Animal Shelter
The Harris County Animal Shelter offers a safe haven to hundreds of lost, neglected and abandoned animals.
It works in partnership with the community to create a secure, healthy and caring environment for all the animals in its care until they are adopted into loving homes.
Houston Humane Society
The Houston Humane Society, is dedicated to, and working towards, ending cruelty, abuse and the overpopulation of animals while providing the highest quality of life to those in our care.
We receive no federal, state, or local government funding and rely solely on donations, program services, and special events. HHS is committed to creating awareness of animal welfare throughout the Houston community by providing numerous programs for Houston area residents and their pets, including pet adoptions, humane education, R.A.I.D.E.R. cruelty investigations, and Houston’s best high volume, low cost spay/neuter and wellness clinic.
Houston Pets Alive
Houston Pets Alive is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and providing the resources, education, and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals.
There are 1.2 million stray animals and two open-intake shelters in Houston. Every day we receive a list of animals who are at risk of being put to sleep in less than 24 hours. We save as many animals as we have foster homes available. All animals are spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. In addition to rescue, we believe in high volume spay and neuter programs, education and political advocacy.
BARC Animal Shelter
BARC is the City of Houston’s Animal Shelter and Adoption Facility. BARC is the only city shelter in Houston required by law to accept every animal that comes through our doors regardless of breed, temperament, health conditions, and circumstance (from owner surrender, stray pickup, rescued or confiscated animals). We have built a best-in-class team that stewards our mission of professionalism, responsibility, compassion, commitment, integrity, and accountability.
BARC is dedicated to pet adoption and a live release initiative. In addition to sheltering and providing veterinary care to all animals brought to the shelter, we work diligently to place these animals in new homes. We collaborate and coordinate with our Houston Pet Rescue groups and through social media networks to cast the widest possible adoption net. We also provide intensive neo-natal and adult pet fostering programs, along with hands-on volunteer training classes and continuous workshops.
Our mission is to promote and protect public health and animal care through sheltering, pet placement programs, pet ownership education and animal law enforcement.
