Since 1979, Special Pals has been committed to saving animal lives in Houston. Our unique combination of animal adoption, pet wellness, and rescue boarding and resources empowers our community to make lives better for animals in Houston and southeast Texas.
We are a private no-kill animal shelter; that means we are donation and volunteer-powered! Volunteers and fosters are always in need and it’s easy to get started. To volunteer, contact us at volunteer@specialpals.org – groups are welcome! To get started fostering our pals, email us at foster@specialpals.org!
