Houston Pets Alive! (HPA!) is seeking volunteers willing to transport dogs and cats from the Harris County Animal Shelter to their foster homes. Often times we have people willing to foster the animals but they are not able to get to the shelter in time to pull them due to their work schedule. A transport volunteer would pick the animal up for the foster in order to save its life. Transport volunteers also needed to bring foster animals to the vet or to adoption events as needed when the foster parent is unable.
Houston Pets Alive! is a 501(c)3 animal rescue. We use proven success tactics from other no kill cities, like Austin, to fill in gaps where resources are needed the most. Our focus is on high volume, high quality adoptions, high volume, high quality spay and neuter, political advocacy and community education.We currently help the pets who are at risk of being put to sleep in a shelter. We focus on animals who have been passed over by other rescue groups and shelters’ adoption programs and have no other option. Therefore, we are complimentary to other rescue efforts.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement
To save the lives of at risk companion cats and dogs and find them loving homes
Description
We are not an ordinary rescue, the animals in our program have been passed over by other rescue groups and shelter adoption programs. Every day we receive a list of animals who are at risk of euthanasia and acting as a safety net for our municipal shelters, we save the animals who have no other options.
We know that rescuing animals is a community effort and with the help from our volunteers we save as many animals as we can.
We are committed to developing programs alongside our local shelters, working with volunteers from our communities, and we are dedicated to saving the lives that others won’t, and together, we will continue to work to save even more lives.
Here are ways to get involved:
- VOLUNTEER - From animal care to general office assistance, all departments at HPA! need your help
- FOSTER - Help us save lives by fostering animals until they find their forever families
- ADOPT - Provide an adorable animal with the loving home they deserve
- DONATE - Donate to HPA! to support our mission
Please feel free to contact us at volunteer@houstonpetsalive.org for more information.
