Who We Are

A small, independent, donor-funded shelter and clinic in Spring, Texas, with one simple belief: every paw deserves a home, and every family deserves help keeping theirs.

Our mission

Shelter. Heal. Advocate. Educate.

Pet Rescue Society exists to end animal suffering in our corner of Texas — one adoption, one surgery, and one conversation at a time.

Founded in 2018 by four neighbors fostering strays out of a garage, we have grown in eight years into a 6,000-square-foot campus with an adoption center, a public veterinary clinic, a pet pantry, and a cruelty-prevention team. We are an independent local nonprofit — not a chapter of any national group — and we receive no government funding.

Our campus is on Willow Bend Drive in Spring, about twenty miles north of downtown Houston. We serve north Harris and south Montgomery counties — Spring, Klein, Tomball, Humble, Kingwood, The Woodlands, and Conroe. We're deliberately small: around seventy animals are in our care at any one time, and the staff knows every one of them by name.

  • 2018 — Founded; 62 adoptions in year one
  • 2019 — First kennel space opens on Willow Bend Drive
  • 2021 — Foster network grows past fifty homes
  • 2022 — Public spay/neuter clinic launches
  • 2024 — Pet Pantry and Safety Net programs begin
  • 2025 — 3,000th adoption; vouchers honored at three partner clinics
  • 2026 — Ground breaks on the clinic expansion

Where we're growing

Eight years in, we have run out of room. Our low-cost surgery waiting list sits at eleven weeks and the kennels are full most weeks of the year. In July 2026 we broke ground on a donor-funded expansion of the community clinic — a second operating suite, a dental room, and a recovery ward with twice the beds — which should take us from 1,900 surgeries a year to more than 3,200 when it opens next spring.

After that, the plan is eight more dog kennels and a separate quiet intake room for cats, so frightened animals no longer have to settle in within earshot of the dog runs. We are raising for that phase now. Read more about the expansion or help fund it.
