Fair…read morewarning, the head person thinks she received her DVM at a school with a better reputation and education than Texas A&M vet school. My family is known for our love, attention and dedication to our dogs and she treated us like we were the most irresponsible pet owners ever because we followed the advise of our dog's doctor. She went so far as to quote laws that aren't even fact. Another thing is they draw you in with pictures of dogs on their website then they are no where to be found. Also, I hope none of y'all are there if an incident breaks out as they allow people well beyond the capacity of the building limits in at one time. I think the purpose behind this organization is great. They should definitely look for a better "leader". One more educated and caring. All in all I can't be too upset. Their in compassionate demeanor lead me to adopt elsewhere and I have now given a homeless dog a family and home just in time for the holidays.

I actually adopted my husky from this location, and she's been amazing! The staff here are always friendly, helpful, and clearly care about the animals. It's a great place for any type of pet lover because there's truly an animal here for everyone. They regularly have a wide variety of pets available, including both small and large dogs with many different breeds. They also often have adorable kittens available for adoption. Pets here tend to get adopted quickly, so if you have your heart set on a specific dog or cat, it's a good idea to act fast because they don't stay long. Overall, it's a wonderful place to find your next pet and give an animal a great home.

She was discounted due to her age and her time being there, but she is honestly amazing and took up to being a mom cat to 3 of our kittens that we housed short term.

Formerly known as Crouton, she now lives out her days in SoCal sunbathing by the window!

But when I brought the cat home she had round worms, so I don't like that they don't test them and deworm them. She also had ear mites pretty bad. The front staff at the desk when you walk in were not kind. They were pretty dismissive and seemed as though they didn't want to be there. Overall, I love the cat that I adopted. I got her taken care of at our local vet. :*)

I filled out an application to foster the same day and received a call from Andrea not long after. From the time we took Beaux in, they have been so helpful to our family. They have taken care of all of the vet bills, meds, neutering, and just pure concern of a first time puppy owner. The adoption fee of $200 is a small price to pay for all that they do for the pet owner. I love that you have the option to foster or adopt. They always have events to raise awareness about adopting animals and not "shopping" for them. We love our baby boy and couldn't be happier with Adore Houston.

An excellent spot if you are looking for a furry companion that is super affordable…read more We were looking for a new furry companion to join our family and weren't having a ton of luck. As part of a last ditch effort, we decided to check out CAP. Upon entering, I was shocked by how clean and bright the adoption facility was. To the right, cats. To the left, dogs. Ahead, furry critters like rabbits. A great organization system with a very open layout! As we began to peruse the variety of dogs, I noticed amenities such as ample hand sanitizer stations, visit rooms, and friendly volunteers. They utilize an easy to understand color system to indicate behaviors/training levels of the pets. All of the rooms/kennels looked very clean and the pets inside looked well cared for. Additionally, each pet had paperwork and surveys filled out to give you as much upfront information as possible. An adorable recent stray caught our eye out of the sea of dogs that were in the process of being adopted. We had to wait a little for a visit room to free up, but once a room was cleaned, a volunteer brought us in to meet the pup. As we interacted with the pup, the volunteer enthusiastically told us everything she could including how long the dog had been there, how the most recent walk went, and how the adoption process goes. Hearts stolen, we decided to adopt. The process was pretty straightforward with paperwork first then a meeting with an adoption counselor. It was pretty busy on the Sunday evening that we went, but still the wait was not that long. The counselor was very knowledgeable and we found that the very affordable adoption fee included the spay/neuter surgery, a full service vet visit, rabies vaccination, lots of literature, and a micro-chip! A great value!! Overall, a great organization and it is super heartwarming to see all of the adopted signs. Definitely a place to check out if you are looking for a furry family member.

Dear BakerRipley Team,…read more I am writing to respectfully request an update on the status of my utility assistance application, which was submitted on March 9, 2026. I have attempted to reach out via both phone and email on several occasions to inquire about its progress, but I have not yet received a response or a clear indication of its current standing. Currently, I am navigating a period of considerable financial strain, and the ability to cover my upcoming utility bills has become a significant challenge. The timely processing of this application is therefore critically important to help alleviate some of these pressing financial concerns. I would be extremely grateful if you could prioritize the review of my application. Please advise if there are any further steps I can take, or if any additional documentation is required from my end, to help expedite this process. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt and helpful response. Sincerely, Zoe 979-388-8024
