Weekend Adoption Center Hours open to the public: Saturdays 10am to 6pm CT Sundays 11am to 3:30pm CT K-9 Angels Rescue is com ... mitted to rescuing and rehoming shelter dogs & cats in and around the City of Houston, regardless of their breed or their circumstance. We are motivated by the dire need to educate the public about the effects of irresponsible breeding practices, while helping the community by alleviating overcrowding in area shelters. Our organization is an all-breed, non-profit canine/feline rescue. We received our 501(c)(3) status in February 2012. Our collective of 350+ volunteers are compassionate, companion animal welfare advocates dedicated to contributing their time, skills, finances, and experience. Many of our core volunteers bring along years of experience from their previous service with other Houston rescue groups. In turn, their commitments help to save the lives of the abandoned, abused, homeless, neglected, orphaned, rejected, stray, and owner-surrendered dogs & cats in Houston's animal control facilities. K-9 Angels Rescue Board Members & Volunteers are 100% VOLUNTEER and receive NO compensation. Our organization is not a shelter in the sense that we are not positioned to accept dogs from the public. We personally select our dogs & cats from the greater Houston animal control facilities where healthy, adoptable animals are destroyed every day simply because they have no home, no family, to call their own. An animal selected into our rescue program remains in our care until adopted. Only when we are able to secure the best match between the animal and new caregiver(s) is it released from our program. We believe in the proven benefits of foster homes. A foster home provides the animals with a loving, safe environment and allows for behavioral observations, training and modifications. Fostering creates opportunities to see how the dog or cat interacts with the human, and the furry, family members. When a foster family is not available our animals may be boarded during the week until transported to our Adoption Center on Saturday morning. read more
