For 2024, the city of Houston estimates 1 million stray dogs and cats living on the streets.

In 2023 42% of 311 calls to BARC were unanswered due to significant understaffing.

The City of Houston spends less per capita on animal rescue than any other large city in Texas.

The “Cruelty Corridor” is a 14-square mile area in Northeast Houston and accounts for over 27% of stray animal reports.

The Bureau of Animal Regulation and Control (BARC) euthanized more than 2600 animals in 2023.

In order to save lives, a significant portion of animal rescue organizations ship stray dogs and cats to other states for adoption.
