Here today, gone tomorrow: 100's of missing Harvey dogs from Houston SPCA

Three of the pets from Houston SPCA website...gone. Where are we?

Pit Bulls and Other Animals has been tracking the Ford Center dogs and other animals since Houston SPCA stormed in and took over the operation September 3, 2017. The highly funded public charity pushed out Best Friends and other first responders which raised huge concerns as HSPCA has a long history of killing pit bulls.

Social media went viral with reports of 40 some odd pit bulls that disappeared and were suspected of being killed by Houston SPCA. Best Friends created a petition begging Patti Mercer, director of Houston SPCA to keep the animals safe until owners could be reunited. Mercer refused. The HSPCA did post over 200 dogs on their website, but these dogs have mysteriously and suddenly disappeared.

We have placed several calls to Houston SPCA, but they seem to be very tight-lipped about the animals. We were referred to their media person Julie K who has not returned our calls. What is the big secret?

The only response we have been able to squeeze out of the tight-lipped Houston SPCA was this on their Facebook page:


At the time of this post, there were only a total of 47 dogs on the Houston SPCA website for adoption. Hundreds of animals disappeared from the Harvey link which is no longer offered on their site.

Where are these dogs? Were they, at best, shipped off to other shelters and rescues? With all of the horrors in the news regarding high-kill shelters and dangerous rescue organizations, we are concerned about these Beaumont, Texas animals and their well-being. Are they still alive?

Or...were they killed as has been the history at Houston SPCA to kill all pit bulls and other animals they deem not cute enough to raise huge funds like the present I Walk for Animals campaign. The Houston SPCA rakes in about $40 million a year as a public tax-exempt charity. This means these animals are publicly owned and the Houston SPCA must account for the whereabouts of these dogs and cats.


The Houston SPCA's number is 713-869-7722. These dogs and cats need to be accounted for and by law, the Houston SPCA owes an explanation for each and every animals they impounded.

No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA is a Facebook page dedicated to the animals missing or killed by the Houston SPCA.

We can only hope that the missing hundreds of dogs placed into the care of Houston SPCA which has always killed all pit bulls are safe. If only this institution placed a fraction of the effort they put into fundraising drives like their I Walk for Animals event and Chevron sponsored Run For a Reason, maybe there wouldn't be so many missing and dead pit bulls and other animals.

Public outcry over Alabama animal slaughters

 

Lawrence County, Alabama rescuers and animal lovers are begging for help. According to locals, the stray and other animals at risk are being euthanized in mass quantities.

Lawrence County commissioner Bobby Burch 'made the motion to show we are serious about (a shelter)' in May of this year.

"It's time for this man to take responsibility. Responsibility for the zoo, responsibility for Bobbie Taylor's. Responsibility for the suffering of thousands and thousands and thousands of animals in Lawrence County. It's time for this SOB to step aside. He tried to have the dogs sold at a flea market. He is a man without ethics. A man who doesn't give a shit what happens to the animals of that county. Only that no money goes to them. But you can bet his pockets are lined thickly."

The county is currently in a six-month contract with Kimberly Carpenter and Changing 42 Animal Rescue to take in animals previously going to the Morgan County animal shelter.

"All the drama that happened in Lawrence County was for NOTHING! Nothing was resolved, nothing solved. Nothing improved. In fact it's worse. And now....here we go again!"

Carpenter is paid $20 per animal, the same amount Morgan County was receiving.
"are you going to allow your tax dollars to be spent shipping dogs 55 miles away to be euthanized for 12.00?"

The six-month contract was approved on March 29, with Commissioner Joey Hargrove saying the county would build its own shelter in that time from with money from the capital projects fund.

"Now he is wanting to send Lawrence County animals to Marion County where they will pay 12.00 per dog, 6.00 for smalls and just euthanize them."

These local animal rescuers and advocates are begging locals to call and publicize the plan to ship the local Lawrence County animals to Marian Count only to be euthanized.

"this is UNACCEPTABLE and we, as rescuers, are sick and tired of cleaning up after this sickening man. They need to man up and build a damn shelter and stop this contract crap. And this county needs to be audited."

"Elections are coming up next year. If the commissioners want to play, let's make them pay. Vote them OUT!?"

Commissions office is 256-974-0663

Alabama Voters for Responsible Animal Legislation (AVRAL)

Responsible Pet Owners and Rescuers of North AL

Houston SPCA must return Harvey dogs to Beaumont by law

The Houston SPCA signed an agreement to return all dogs to Jefferson County. Bett Sundermeyer and No Kill Houston have provided the following information reprinted here in Pit Bulls and Other Animals.

When the Houston SPCA, a kill shelter, took animals from the Ford Center in Beaumont after Hurricane Harvey, and forced rescuers to leave, A LOT of people were understandably upset and worried about the animals.

We are all particularly worried about Pit Bull type dogs that the HSPCA took because they have said that they do NOT adopt out these dogs --- meaning they kill those dogs.

Below is the agreement that Jefferson County has with the Houston SPCA concerning the animals that they removed from Jefferson County.

This agreement says that the Houston SPCA will:

1) Place Jefferson County pets into foster homes for at least 30 days in an effort to give owners a chance to locate and reclaim their pets; and

2) Jefferson County pets will be returned to their owners at no charge; and

3) Jefferson County pets not claimed by their owners will either be placed into adoptive homes or returned to Jefferson County.

Note that the Houston SPCA has NO LEGAL RIGHT TO KILL any of the animals that they removed from Jefferson County, for any reason. This includes Pit Bull type dogs that the Houston SPCA claims are all “dangerous.”

These dogs must be RETURNED to Jefferson County.

This agreement was signed on September 2, 2017. On October 2, 2017, the Houston SPCA must abide by this agreement. No name pittie with die at Houston SPCA Facebook page has posted some of the dogs impounded by Houston SPCA. We will be reporting updates and missing pets. The Houston SPCA must be held accountable for every animal they impounded at the Ford Center in Beaumont on September 2.

No Kill Houston is a longtime animal advocacy group working hard to protect Houston's companion pets. The section regarding the Houston SPCA has documented the routine killing of countless innocent animals at the hands of the Houston SPCA.

Please sign and share this petition to fire Patti Mercer and investigate the Houston SPCA.

Houston SPCA strong arms volunteers.....and about those missing pit bulls

Only one of the many pit bulls and other animals
saved by Spring and other volunteers at
Beaumont's Ford Center

Spring Fults operates Country Love Bullies in Conroe, Texas. She has been rescuing pit bulls for over 9 years. Their facility was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey, but after their rescue made it through the storm, she felt the need to help others in distress from the most horrible hurricane the people and animals in these parts had ever experienced.

She set out for Beaumont with supplies and her own stock including 30 crates, the very crates that had provided shelter for the Country Love Bullies when she brought all of the animals inside her home to keep them safe.

For a week, Spring and other first responders worked around the clock barely eating and sleeping in the makeshift set up in a hotel parking lot. They rescued pit bulls and cats, horses and other livestock. Everyone worked together to save as many lives as they could. Spring left 1/2 her kennels set up at the Ford Center and would trade out empty kennels for the full crates of saved companion pets they'd bring in on each run....

.....and there were a lot of runs.

This all came to a screeching halt Saturday, September 2 when the Houston SPCA took over the operation and shut Spring and other hard-working devoted saviors out of the building. When Spring asked about the animals they'd saved and if she could have her crates back, she was told to 'get out' and accused of 'causing a scene.' Bitter Houston SPCA employees told her, 'she was not helping.'

You can say a lot about someone, but when they've gone without sleep and nourishment, not to mention a hot shower, in order to save animals' lives, this was cruel punishment. If this how the Houston SPCA treats human beings who are trying to help, the rumors of killing pit bulls and other animals are not hard to believe.

No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA is a Facebook page created in 2012 to raise awareness of the Houston SPCA's mass killings of all pit bulls. The Houston Mayor's task force discovered some horrifying figures in 2005 before the Houston SPCA began secreting their impound and euthanasia

numbers:

 

The rumors began to circulate among the volunteers who began posting items on Facebook and social media. Pit bulls disappeared. The same dogs who these volunteers had risked their lives to save were now gone and replaced with pandemonium amidst banning anyone who dared to ask questions.

Live on Country Love Bullies Facebook page are videos documenting the goings on at the Ford Center under the armed direction of Houston SPCA a.k.a. Houston Animal Cops, the name of their long running Animal Planet TV show. 

Spring documented her return to the Ford Center in this video:

https://www.facebook.com/countrylovebullies/videos/1371441889620464/

and followed up with another video to try and make sense of the takeover by the Houston SPCA at the Ford Center:

https://www.facebook.com/countrylovebullies/videos/1371480122949974/

Pit Bulls and Other Animals has reached out to Safe K9 Transports and Guardians of Rescue who were at the Ford Center during the takeover by Houston SPCA in hopes of answering questions about the missing pit bulls who disappeared Saturday, September 2. Neither group has responded with a statement.

Spring, whose group is under jurisdiction of Houston SPCA, felt the need to speak out as a pit bull lover and longtime rescuer even if "the Houston SPCA wants to try and shut down my rescue in retaliation. They need to be stopped!"

Photos below were taken by Spring and published on the Country Love Bullies Facebook page:

Houston SPCA screws the pooch at Beaumont's Ford Center

Katelyn Reid photo of Harvey rescue

Now that the dust has settled, or rather the levee leveled, boots on the ground first responders are recalling horrible experiences with Houston SPCA.

The Houston SPCA rolled into Beaumont the afternoon of Saturday, September 2nd and completely took over operations and animals being cared for by rescuers and volunteers who'd been sweltering in the hot and humid Ford Center for a week.

Katelyn Reid had organized the Ford Center operation and despite heat, flooding, fleas and other disaster and pests, the center was operating surprisingly efficiently. People from all over the United States had driven to Beaumont, many like Erika Pearce from Indianapolis who drove with her husband and a car filled with donated vet supplies and much needed medicine to help care for the incoming hundreds of dogs, cats and other animals.

These good people worked tirelessly and missed meals to save these animals before Houston SPCA took over and shut everyone out.

Shylah Salas was one of the hard-working animal lovers and has issued a gut-wrenching statement to the Houston SPCA:

To the HSPCA, I am NO LONGER a SUPPORTER of your organization. After our encounter at the Ford Center in Beaumont, I walked away feeling distraught towards your efforts which were UNPROFESSIONAL, UNORGANIZED and seemed to have LACKED SINCERITY.

Your employees, especially TRAVIS came off Ignorant & lacked administration skills. Grant it, yall did a wonderful job w/ organizing our supplies. HSPCA claimed to "take charge" yet instead of "CALLING A MEETING with THE COMMUNITY at FORD CENTER", the information was being transfered through word of mouth.

YOUR EMPLOYEES SLEPT COMFORTABLY IN your company van WHILE Sandra Kelly and I, along with 3 members, TENDED to a trailer carrying 8 DOGS (1 w/parvo) and a sick horse. NONE OF YOUR STAFF WAS AVAILABLE until 8am then held a "Staff Meeting" for an HOUR & A HALF while DOGS SAT WITH URINATION & DEFFICATION in their crates.

The ICU PATIENTS did not have REFILLED BAGS, a chicken was DEAD. Travis ordered an elderly man to leave the premises (who was granted permission to stay by Ford shelter original coordinator) because "This is not a camp ground!" How dare you tell this man that if his 12 cockerspaniels and 1 lab were not transferred or taken elsewhere, they will be EUTHANIZED AFTER 2 WEEKS when your policy stated " 30 days". How is 2 weeks a sufficient amount of time for OWNERS WHO LOST EVERYTHING but their lives to recover their beloved pets?!? 

HOW DARE you transport 20+ dogs w/out providing proper documents or communication regarding their transfer. First of all, WHY TRANSFER these DOGS?? WHERE DID THE REST OF THEM GO? Yepp...we have proof of animals missing in crates and 1 who was walked at 8pm, but never returned. Why only start inventory POST TRANSFER of DOGS? And why were pups labeled aggressive & specific animals(excluding the sick) segregated?

HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR DONATIONS WHEN YOU ALREADY SEIZED 80% that EXISTED PRIOR to YOUR ARRIVAL. Why donate money when you are planning to euthanize after 2 weeks? Those donations sustain you for MONTHS.

I FELT YOU TREATED this NATURAL DISASTER as if it were another CORPORATE JOB!!
Your lack of communication, administration, and most importantly, Honesty screwed yall over. I cannot prove you were euthanizing, but what I do know was something felt shady when HSPCA arrived. I was BOOTS ON GROUND....

Leila Barry, another hard working Ford Center first responder adds this to Shylah's statement:

I was boots on the ground as well, and was amazed that after 6 hours, 6 you couldn't tell the rescuers how many dogs were there. Yeah Travis you know how to count money really well, but not dogs. And how were the 22 dogs flown outta state when all the airports WERE CLOSED AND UNDER WATER. and why was the single room under the pavilion STAFF ONLY . You have a lot of explaining to do HSPCA. I WANT TO KNOW.

When Shylah received a Houston SPCA plea for donation money, it was just too much and she posted her statement. These people see the orchestrated money raising campaigns all over social media by the Houston SPCA taking credit for their work and the lives these volunteers rescued from flooded homes and brought to the Ford Center. It is infuriating and it is nauseating. They are getting a dose of the way Houston SPCA does business...and to them, it's business. Pit bulls aren't good business and that's probably why you never saw a pit bull on their hit Animal Planet series Animal Cops: Houston.

Since 2012, we have been questioning Houston SPCA's high kill practices with our Facebook page No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA.

According to No Kill Houston "The Houston SPCA's Save Rate was only 35% the last time that they were honest and released their records to the public.  We believe that their Save Rate is drastically lower than this now."

World Animal Awareness Society also tried to get some answers from Houston SPCA in their No Hope for Paws as Houston SPCA accused of killing dogs after Hurricane Harvey: Operation Houston video:

We will continue to write about and research the Houston SPCA and the goings on at Beaumont's Ford Center. Please contact Pit bulls and other animals with photos, videos and animal stories related to Harvey and the Beaumont Ford Center.

Where did all the pitties go? Houston SPCA swoops into town and dogs disappear...

Jeri's 'little blue pittie'

Jeri Gilmore Langman and her husband are rescuers in Bullhead City, Arizona. When they heard about the situation in Beaumont, Texas, they headed for town literally to bail Beaumont and her animals out. She was surprised at the operation at Ford Center. However chaotic, things were progressing. There were about 100 or so dogs at the center when Jeri arrived Thursday the 31st. She went to work boots on the ground rescuing from flooded homes and bringing animals to the Ford Center where two volunteers were checking in and and ID'ing incoming animals.

Friday night, a couple arrived and stated they were with Houston SPCA. The woman began grabbing dogs and walking animals without checking in and out. When she became irate, the couple was asked to leave. PETA had also tried to intervene, according to Jeri, but they were expunged as well. The next day, Saturday, September 2 at 2:30 p.m., the Houston SPCA took over.

Jeri was outside Vidor, Texas involved in a rescue when the Houston SPCA came in, but when she returned, she thought 'something here is off.' Many people who were at Ford Center when Houston SPCA came in have all said the same thing. There was a weird pall over the whole building when Houston SPCA took over. It was different from the system Katelyn Reid had established. There was a comradery among the volunteers who'd dropped everything from homes across the U.S. to help out the 'Golden Triangle' in Jefferson County, Texas. That sense of everyone working together was gone and had been replaced by fear. The animals could feel it, too.

When Jeri first arrived at Ford Center, she made it her business to video and photograph all of the intake animals. A vet tech by profession, she was amazed that not one of the animals exhibited any aggression. After the Houston SPCA took over the center, a draped section labeled 'staff only' contained animals with 'aggressive' signs on their kennels.

Pit Bulls and Parolees and Villalobos Rescue vet was working with these volunteers who were shut out from helping the animals they'd spent every night and day saving in life-threatening situations. Everyone was pushed out as the Houston SPCA took over. As Jeri puts it, "it quickly became 'their way.'"

One dog stands out to Jeri as she recalls the goings on at the Ford Center. She was a little blue pittie, mangy with Demodex. She and Jeri had become closely bonded. She'd been found in a pick up truck where she'd been abandoned for three days. When Jeri returned from Vidor, she sensed something 'askew' and then thought, 'wait a minute, where's my little blue pittie?' Jeri began searching the entire facility and the little pittie was nowhere to be found.

There were two sections being used for infirmary and Jeri was told by a volunteer to check the infirmary. The little blue pittie was not in the first building, but Jeri found a group of people gathered together. Jeri was told by the vet that the little blue pittie had left for Houston SPCA. This was terrifying to Jeri. Why in the world was this dog being shipped to Houston?

Jeri has documented this whole affair with photos and videos. She asked 'Travis' and an associate, both from Houston SPCA, in this VIDEO their plans for and locations of the missing dogs.

This is important. Jeri was told by Houston SPCA representative 'Travis' that the little blue pittie had been sent to Houston. As is documented in the her video, 'Travis' states that 22 dogs so far had been transported to Houston. He added, "all medical cases went to Houston." Jeri immediately posted this information on her Facebook page specifically to alert the public. Something was not right and the public needed to know.

Jeremy Boss has shot several videos which have gone viral on social media. Here is the video documenting the same conversation with 'Travis' and the other Houston SPCA associate:

Two days later, Jeri discovered the little pittie had in fact been adopted by a finder. After specifically being told the pittie had been transported to the Houston SPCA institution in Houston where pit bulls are never adopted, this information was unsettling. What about the 22 others? Where were they?

When Jeri specifically asked 'Travis' about the Houston SPCA facility, he told her, 'the Houston SPCA can hold thousands.'

Jeri feels that no attempts are really being made to find the owners of these dogs. Why are they all being shipped to Houston SPCA in Houston with '1000's of spaces' when their owners were in the Beaumont area, the Golden Triangle? One thing she knew for sure and had seen it in action. The Houston SPCA had an agenda, an eerie agenda.

Please send any photos, videos and information you have about the goings on at the Ford Center in Beaumont.

Houston SPCA: killed pit bulls in Beaumont - fact or fiction?

Liver-colored pittie photographed at 2 p.m. 9/2
/17 and was gone by 9 p.m.

Bonnie G. Lewis from St. Louis, Missouri put together a convoy with three U-Hauls filled with supplies and put the pedal to the metal for Beaumont, Texas to help animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey. The hurricane had raged for days, submerging parts of Houston and turning Beaumont into an island. Bonnie's first thoughts were for the animals she knew would be at risk. What she found when she got there would haunt her forever...and it wasn't the water and the hurricane.

Bonnie, her boyfriend Jaimie and the convoy reached the Ford Center in Beaumont around 1 a.m. Sunday morning, Sept. 3. She was met by Tom of Safe K9 Transports whose team had been in place at the Ford Center trying to help the some 330 animals impounded until the Houston SPCA had taken over the operation. The Houston SPCA had shut down the Ford Center to volunteers at 8 p.m. Saturday night. "The whole place was locked down with only one exit," reported Bonnie. To Bonnie, this "was completely unacceptable," hurricane or not.

2 p.m. arrival at Ford Center BEFORE Houston SPCA - notes on kennels with owner contact information

When Bonnie and her team arrived, the animals were 'lying in urine and feces' with no food and 'filthy water' bowls. Bonnie is no stranger to rescue and laboring to save animals in need. She quickly put her people to work in teams of two. Two would walk and two would clean, 'in and out, in and out, in and out." As they worked through the night for over four hours straight, they began to notice missing animals.



This video was shot at Ford Center Saturday, September 2 when Erika Pearce and her husband, Nick, arrived at 6 a.m. from Indianapolis to volunteer. You can clearly see the identification and contact information taped to each kennel by other people who'd driven from all over the United States to help animals displaced by Harvey at the Ford Center. This information along with contact and animal ID has disappeared as have many of these dogs.

A 'staff only' area had been sanctioned off which Bonnie had observed upon arrival. She had supposed this section contained the more aggressive animals. As they worked, they noticed this section of animals 'dwindling.' After four and a half hours, Bonnie noted, 'the staff only section was 2/3 empty' as compared to the number when her team had first arrived. The crates were empty and turned up.

Jaimie had just finished walking two gorgeous pit bull dogs, a grey and a brown. Alarmed, he grabbed Bonnie and said, "what happened to those two dogs?" The two cages were empty and flipped. He said, "I just walked those two dogs and they're gone!"

Tom of Safe K9 Transports has made several videos of the Ford Center to update the many people watching from around the world. Some of these videos contain empty kennels...many empty kennels. With all of the volunteer help, the Cajun Navy and others rescuing and bringing animals to the Ford Center, these numbers are not adding up.

The Houston SPCA has enlisted the help of local media to try and quash the 'rumors' of killed pit bulls and other animals.

According to first response volunteer Payu Vane who was at Ford Center for days bringing in animals, "rescuers were kicked out so we wont see what they're doing....at least one kill van was there when we left."

When asked how he knew the Houston SPCA van was euthanizing animals, he stated, "I only saw one...all white high top van parked out by the hay drop off lot...they can claim it was a transport but transport vans don't have a stainless steel table on the right side with a IV set up...only caught a glimpse of it before staff asked what the hell I was doing there."

Houston SPCA held a two hour meeting which excluded what they call 'all civilians' known to us as animal lovers who'd dropped everything to help save these dogs and livestock from drowning in the 

These photos and statement are from one of the volunteers who attended the Houston SPCA meeting:

Jeffrey Michael Camiel of San Francisco has been on site since Saturday. He's attended several strategy meetings with Houston SPCA's Adam Reynolds who is heading up the Beaumont Ford Center operation. When he asked how owners could reclaim their pets, Camiel was informed the Houston SPCA uses a pet facial recognition program. This raises many questions as most of these residents do not have technological access.

Houston SPCA has been in our red dot reflex for some years now. In 2012, a dog wandered up to a Houston residence. She was a pit bull. By the time she was networked to Reunion Rescue, the resident had called Houston SPCA. Reunion Rescue immediately called, but they had already killed this dog. Why? Because she was a pit bull. The Houston SPCA kills all pit bulls. We started No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA Facebook page and a petition demanding Patti Mercer's resignation and an investigation.

Many good folks were at the Ford Center for days working to help the displaced animals from Hurricane Harvey. Kennels were filled with live animals when the Houston SPCA arrived on Saturday. Those good people were strong-armed out the door when the Houston SPCA put their team into action. This is how they operate.

The volunteers with phones who were shooting photos and videos were certainly not wanted to document these goings on. Some of those videos and photos leaked out and we are on the job to find out what happened to the paperwork and the dogs no longer there at the Ford Center late Saturday night.

We ask  the Houston SPCA just what happened to all of the animals these volunteers and first responders brought to the Ford Center. Every large animal organization has software and capability to log incoming animals. Most use the A# system utilized by Chameleon Software Products, "the leader in providing software and technology solutions for Animal Control agencies, Humane Societies, SPCAs, and other animal sheltering organizations."

The Houston SPCA is a publicly supported organization with charity status. This means, these animals do not belong to the Houston SPCA. The animals belong to the public which supports them. We want...no, we DEMAND answers. Where are the animals and their documentation people risked their lives to save in flood drenched Beaumont, Texas?

The Houston SPCA has uploaded 202 dogs to their website with ID numbers. Saturday, September 2 count was 330 when Bonnie Lewis arrived at Ford Center. Including the incoming since September 2, these numbers are off and leave doubt regarding the missing dogs from Saturday night, the subject of this blog.

If you have information, photographs, video or questions you want answered, please email Pit Bulls and Other Animals blog.

Saving Biscuit from Dying in Bastrop...HELP!

Biscuit's person passed away and he pretty much lost his pack leader. Biscuit is a senior Aussie mix and was surrendered to Bastrop Animal Shelter.

When Biscuit's mom, Cecile, realized the shelter is high kill and Biscuit is in danger of being euthanized, she reached out to Reunion Rescue for help.

We are raising $2400 to send Biscuit to sanctuary where he can receive training and rehab. Dogtown Ranch can help Biscuit adjust to losing his dad.

Please consider a tax-deductible donation to help save Biscuit's life by visiting Reunion Rescue online donation button.

Please share this blog and help us save Biscuit. He has not bitten or hurt anyone and doesn't deserve to die. 

Houston SPCA uses a blind puppy to raise big $$, but kills all pit bulls

When we posted the huge fundraiser for Ziggety Zag, a blind puppy being promoted for huge donation money, people began to respond they had no idea Houston SPCA kills all pit bull dogs and puppies. We posted the outrageous Houston SPCA plea with the opening line, "The Houston SPCA believes all animals deserve a second chance at life!"

How can a 501(c)(3) entity get away with such a bald faced claim? Houston SPCA makes over 10 million a year and has its own Animal Planet television show. There are never any pit bulls on the show because they're all euthanized.
No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA Facebook page was created to try and raise awareness to the ongoing slaughter of pit bull dogs at this massive Houston facility which enjoys so much revenue and attention.


Sadly, many still believe the Houston SPCA gives all animals a fair chance as they promised in their offensive post. The dog 'no name' in our No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA Facebook page never had the wonderful opportunity given to this blind puppy to be adopted, to have life and a forever home after fundraising chores are done with.


Reunion Rescue tried to save 'no name' pittie who made the mistake of wandering up to the wrong home. After a plastic bowl of water, the unsuspecting homeowner called Houston SPCA who not only turned Reunion Rescue down when our 501(c)(3) with exemplary record saving pit bulls, but killed her as soon as her 72 hour stray-hold was up.


We began a sorrowful mission that day with No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA Facebook page and a petition demanding the director Patti Mercer be fired and the facility investigated. If Houston SPCA is picking up stray dogs and animals, shouldn't they be accountable to someone? If not the city of Houston, then perhaps the state? Someone? Anyone?


No Kill Houston has done extensive research and has published shocking records and statistics about Houston SPCA and the mass killing that goes on behind its lush, but deadly doors.
We will continue to alert the public about the killing, the contests, the fundraising and the atrocity that seems to go completely unnoticed, yet well-heeled to the extreme.


Houston, please wake up. There are a small and dedicated group of hardcore volunteers that drop everything and drive when they hear of a stray pit bull on the roam in Houston zip codes. Although these people are animal lovers who strive to help save these dogs, the real reason behind their motivation is sheer desperation. These good people are terrified the Houston SPCA 'cops' infamous from long running Animal Planet's 'Animal Cops Houston' will arrive at the scene before the dog can be saved.


No name pittie will die at Houston SPCA welcomes all animal lovers who wish to see change and help save some of the some millions of animals dying at this institution.

What is Austin Animal Center so scared of?

Chris Noble @ Austin Animal Center

Holli Odom of Austin Animal Center

Austin Animal Center has a new boss lady and just pulled down all the threads related to LuLu, our Reunion Rescue dog Austin Animal Center totally bungled...and tried to throw Cindy Marabito in jail for requesting a meeting. Chris Noble and compadre Holli Odom totally screwed the pooch on this one with links to the two losing their tempers on the job.

Well, we got our dog LuLu back after a month-long investigation and legal maneuverings that cost $10,000.

Does Austin Animal Center think they can just wave a magic wand and this will all go away?

Do they thing at Austin Animal Center they can just delete the commentary and posts and escape scot-free?

Did they forget Reunion Rescue rescues pit bulls..the very dog that Austin Animal Center counter person stated, "EWWWWWWWW they rescue pit bulls!" over the phone to Beverly Phillips when we were at the 'shelter' with proof of ownership under Texas State Law?

Austin Animal Center tried to step outside the law with microchip info that even according to Home Again, is not legal pet ownership. The representative at Home Again also revealed Austin Animal Center is not covering the $17.99 microchip charge with Austin Animal Center adoptions turning up lost and their chips not updated. These are chips paid to the city of Austin by citizens in good faith for animals adopted from Austin Animal Center.

Each day, more is revealed in the LuLu story with a hoax page set up to hold LuLu hostage with links back to Austin Animal Center and pit bull hate groups.

This Monday, July 7, we will begin yet another legal battle to get to the bottom of this nasty sordid affair with threats, attacks and lies all stemming back to Austin Animal Center.

Please share our chip in fundraiser for LuLu and help Reunion Rescue recover the $10,000 lost/wasted to recover LuLu and have the city of Austin answer for their crimes.

Here are the saved screen shots of the hate fest hosted by Austin Animal Center and it's angry, very angry staff...a staff that Reunion Rescue and other citizens pay and pay well to care for the city's animals.
