Come and visit us!

🐶 ADOPTABLE DOGS: Many of our dogs live in foster homes and NOT at the shelter, so all dogs can be met on an appointment basis. The first step is to complete an online adoption application (friends4life.org/adopt).

🐱 ADOPTABLE CATS: The shelter has three free-roaming cat rooms where you can come and meet adoptable cats. Some cats do live in foster homes, so we’re happy to let

you know if the cat you’re interested in is at the shelter or in foster before you come by. We also have adoptable cats at our PetSmart Cattery at S Shepherd/Alabama (2902 S Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77098).

If you haven’t been to Brazos Bookstore lately, these dogs have. Jaz, Ozzie, and Rubix soaked up every moment of their visit. Today, we asked each of them to recommend a summer read.

Jaz’s Pick: “How to Adopt a Three-Legged Legend” Part memoir, part motivational guide, Jaz’s pick is all about resilience, zoomies, and why three legs are more than enough for epic adventures.

Rubix’s Pick: “Second Acts & Soft Beds”
Rubix recommends this tender, hopeful read about finding love later in life. It’s a quiet page-turner for anyone who believes it’s never too late to start over.

Ozzy’s Pick: “The Chaos Is the Charm: One Dog’s Guide to Winning Hearts and Shredding Squeakers” This laugh-out-loud summer favorite is equal parts zoomies and charm—with bonus tips on stealing socks and hearts.

Don’t miss out on this Saturday’s Books and Boops event and meet some of our adoptable dogs!

It’s story time in the Friends For Life cattery, and guess who’s front and center? 📚👀

Calimero, our tiny literary connoisseur, has officially picked his favorite book—and no, it’s not How to Open the Treat Jar(though that was a close second). He’s settled in with a cozy purr and is flipping through the pages like he actually knows how to read. We’re not saying he’s a genius…but we’re not not saying it either.

Stop by our cattery at PetSmart at 2902 S Shepherd Dr, and see if he’ll read you a bedtime story. Or at least let you know which books pass the vibe check. 🖤📖🐾

Looking for a pup who takes initiative?

Declyn saw an opportunity and took it.
With no cats currently occupying Tosca’s room, he decided to do a full shelf inspection.

He’s happy to report:

✅ All shelves are certified safe for cats up to 67 lbs.
✅ Structural integrity confirmed.
✅ No cats were inconvenienced in the making of this report.

So if you're looking for a dog who takes charge, makes bold decisions, and prioritizes feline safety—Declyn’s your dude.

Who knew stuffing Lemonade Dash packets could feel like a party?

🎉 Huge thanks to the amazing crew from Burns & McDonnell for turning last week’s packet stuffing into a purr-fectly productive hangout.

Not only did they knock out packet-stuffing like pros, they helped us include flyers for our Run For a Reason team—so we can recruit more folks to run for Friends For Life and raise money for our animals! 🏃‍♀️🐶💚

They got the job done fast, met our resident celebrities Olivia Benson and Rubix, and even squeezed in some serious kitty cuddles. 🐾

Y’all made it efficient. You made it fun. You made our cats very curious. 😸
We’re big fans.

[Edgar Update]

We know so many of you have been thinking about sweet Edgar, and we wanted to share how he’s doing.

He’s still not out of the woods.

His kidney values remain high, and while we’re relieved to report that he’s Leptospirosis negative, we still don’t know what’s causing this negative event. Edgar is currently on three antibiotics, blood pressure medication, and receiving 24/7 IV fluids with our friends at Vergi.

He’s getting everything he needs, and that’s thanks to you.

Your support means Edgar doesn’t have to fight alone. He has a whole team behind him rooting for his recovery 👏 🙏 🙌 💪

We’ll keep sharing updates as we have them. For now, please keep Edgar in your thoughts as he continues to rest, heal, and fight. 💙

Some days put a team to the test. Today was one of them — and the came through in a big way.

You rallied, you shared, you donated, and you advocated for animals. And because of you, we shattered every record we've ever had!

Together, we raised an astonishing $76K in a SINGLE DAY, pushing our Running Team’s total to $91K. A running team that's 102 runners strong (and counting!) months before our fundraising race! We’ve never seen anything like it.

Thank you for your passion. For your love for animals. For having our back.

Sleep well, friends. You did something incredible today.
