Raising Awareness About Proper Animal Care
About Barrio Dogs
Barrio Dogs has been working in Houston’s Greater East End since 2010 with the mission of raising awareness about proper animal care and the importance of spaying and neutering pets.
We teach residents that animal birth control and humane treatment and care of pets will create safer, healthier, higher property value communities for themselves and their families.
While we are not a rescue group, we have rescued many street dogs that were in especially bad physical condition, nursed them back to health and found them homes. By focusing on the reasons why homeless animals exist, we shed light on other community problems and possible long-term solutions.
Serving Houston’s Greater East End Since 2010
As we look to the future, we reflect on ten years of service to our community and are committed to another decade or however long it takes to create a better future for our animals and the community.
