My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing.... Hopalong! This sweet boy was most likely hit by a car based on x-rays taken by a vet. His left femur was broken at both ends and completely turned sideways and his knee was not where it should be at all. We were notified about this sweet boy when a plea went out about him from a local county shelter. Basically, his leg was not attached to his pelvis like it should be and was just dangling. He recently had the bad leg amputated and he is learning all about life as a tripod! He is about 6 months old. He was really struggling on the streets, considering he was four pounds when impounded, not only injured but absolutely covered in fleas. Guess who is really loving being in a loving foster home with tons of love and food? This guy! He is really, really sweet and also loves to play - he is a treasure that you will want to meet! His favorite place to lay is cuddled up with his people or safe and sound between the older dogs in his foster home. This is one HUGE cuddler!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters must complete an application and SCP volunteers can help adopters identify cats and dogs that will fit best in their homes. SCP adoption counselors review the applications, conduct in-person interviews and discuss pet care responsibilities with potential adopters. SCP checks applicants' vet references and may conduct a home visit at its discretion. So that the best interests of the pet are served, SCP reserves the right to refuse an adoption to anyone. The adoption fee starts at $110 for cats ($175 for two cats), $190 for dogs and $245 for puppies.

SCP tries to ensure that all pets are healthy at the time of adoption. All are examined by veterinarians when they enter the program. All are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, de-wormed, tested/treated for parasites and disease (such as heartworms, fleas, feline leukemia and FIV) as needed. Cats are vaccinated for FVRCP and FeLV. Dogs are vaccinated for DHLPP and Corona virus. Animals are kept in foster homes to minimize exposure to disease and to help them be well-adjusted. It is the policy of SCP that no cat or dog may be sent to a permanent home before it is fully vetted, including spay or neuter. All of our rescued animals are microchipped.

Go meet their pets

SCP does not have a shelter or an office location. The rescued pets, volunteers, fosters, and adopters who comprise SCP come from all over the Galveston Bay area (mainly north Galveston and south Harris counties). Our adoptable animals are fostered and loved in volunteer homes until a permanent home is found.

SCP has cats and dogs available for adoption every Saturday (cats 10:30-2:30 and dogs 11:00-2:00) at the Petco store in Clear Lake (2410 Bay Area Boulevard, Houston, TX 77058 - corner of Bay Area and Space Center). A few cats may also be seen during the week in the condos at this Petco location.
