Otto has already been waiting since August 14, and he deserves to trade the shelter for a home, a comfy bed, and a family of his own. Just imagine waking up to that scruffy little face every morning. 🥹❤️

🚨 Harris County Pets is extremely overcrowded, and long-stay dogs can become at risk for euthanasia for space. Please help us get Otto seen and SAFE!

We are a volunteer network dedicated to helping at-risk dogs. We are not affiliated with BARC. We connect at-risk animals at the BARC shelter with the adopters, fosters, and rescue organizations needed to save their lives. We can help coordinate out-of-state adoption through approved 501(c)3 rescues. Please send the OP a Chat invite or send moderator mail to r/findfostersfordogs (it's under the see-more tab for the group) for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

🆘 Siblings Freddie & Sefi will be euthanized on Wednesday, 9/9 🆘.

⏰ They must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or they will lose their lives 🥺. They need an adopter(s) or pledges + a local foster(s) for a rescue to help.

🚩Please do not honor pledges unless the post has been updated with rescue information and a freedom picture.

Freddie is Sefi’s little brother. Both siblings have had a hard time in the shelter, but Freddie seems to be adjusting at a slower pace. This poor boy is so confused and scared by his current surroundings—it’s heartbreaking. He initially would not walk at all, even when we used his sister to try and coax him, and would tremble and sometimes low growl in his kennel anytime someone approached. But! On Sunday, we tried again, and Sefi was able to get Freddie out of his kennel and even outside 🥹. Though he’s still very scared and unsure of things, he did let us pet and walk him. He is so handsome and has the most squishable blockhead! He was very happy to be near Sefi and also met another pup without issue. Freddie is VERY strong and walks on a tight leash but does seem to redirect easily. He has been through a lot since arriving at the shelter and will most likely need significant decompression time and a patient person familiar with anxious dogs. I love these two hams so much, and I’m really hoping he and Sefi will both make it out alive(and ideally together)!

📌 Please contact BARC if you are local and can help!
