Special Pals Animal Shelter: Saving Lives One Animal at a Time
Special Pals Animal Shelter is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to saving animal lives in Houston since 1979. The shelter provides a range of services including animal adoptions, low-cost vaccines, wellness clinics, and rescue boarding. With over four decades of experience in the field, Special Pals has become one of the most trusted and respected animal shelters in the region.
At Special Pals, we believe that every animal deserves a loving home. That's why we work tirelessly to provide our furry friends with the care and attention they need to thrive. Our team of experienced veterinarians and staff members are committed to ensuring that each animal receives top-quality medical care, nutritious food, and plenty of love and affection.
Animal Adoptions
One of our primary goals at Special Pals is to find loving homes for as many animals as possible. We offer adoption services for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small animals. All our animals are spayed or neutered before adoption so you can be sure you're getting a healthy pet who won't contribute to pet overpopulation.
Our adoption process is simple but thorough - we want to make sure that each pet goes home with an owner who will provide them with all the love they deserve! We require potential adopters fill out an application form which includes questions about their lifestyle so we can match them with pets whose needs align well with their living situation.
Low-Cost Vaccines
We understand how important it is for pets to receive regular vaccinations against common diseases such as rabies or distemper. However not everyone can afford these essential treatments which is why we offer low-cost vaccines at our clinic on Saturdays from 10 am-2 pm (no appointment necessary). Our prices are affordable without compromising quality - all vaccines administered by licensed veterinarians using high-quality products.
Wellness Clinic
In addition to vaccines, we also offer a range of other wellness services at our clinic. These include heartworm testing, flea and tick prevention, microchipping and more. Our experienced veterinarians are available to answer any questions you may have about your pet's health and well-being.
Rescue Boarding
We understand that sometimes life can get in the way of caring for your pets. That's why we offer rescue boarding services for animals whose owners are unable to care for them temporarily due to illness or other circumstances. Our staff members provide round-the-clock care and attention so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands.
Volunteer Opportunities
Special Pals Animal Shelter relies heavily on volunteers who help us with everything from walking dogs to cleaning cages. We welcome volunteers of all ages (under 16 must be accompanied by an adult) who share our passion for animal welfare.
Conclusion
Special Pals Animal Shelter has been saving animal lives in Houston since 1979 through adoptions, low-cost vaccines, wellness clinics, rescue boarding and volunteer opportunities. We believe every animal deserves a loving home which is why we work tirelessly to provide them with the care they need until they find their forever homes!
