My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lettie’s story is one of quiet strength and unwavering love. This brave girl was discovered living as a stray, doing everything she could to protect and raise her puppies. She brought them into the world under tough circumstances, and with her devotion, every one of them thrived. Now, with her babies safe and starting new lives, it’s finally Lettie’s turn to be cared for and cherished.
Since arriving at Friends For Life, Lettie has truly blossomed. She’s discovered the joys of belly rubs, cozy beds, and gentle affection. Calm, curious, and steady, Lettie has a heart as big as her spirit. She enjoys sunny naps, quiet walks, and soaking up attention from her humans.
Lettie is ready to find her forever family—a place where she can leave her hard past behind and simply enjoy being loved. Could you be the one to give this resilient mama the home she deserves? Apply to adopt Lettie and let her show you just how extraordinary a survivor’s love can be. 🐾

Closed Tuesday
We are currently located in the Historic Heights. Our shelter looks more like a gallery than a shelter! Incredible photography is displayed in our lobby. Care has been taken with every detail of the building. We are bringing in 100% outside fresh air and turning over the air in each space completely 15 times an hour. We have made certain that sunlight reaches every animal (and staff) workspace and even engaged a professional acoustician from the beginning to ensure that we manage the sound for everyone's comfort. We have cageless cat rooms with 19-foot ceilings and climbers everywhere to keep the kitties happy and healthy. We have a 'real life' dog living area set up for the dogs. Our shelter is unlike any you've ever experienced! You have to see it to believe it!
We need adoption counselors, docents and animal "smoochers" to keep everyone feeling loved. We also need, welcome and swoon over our foster parents!
Our volunteers and foster parents are like gold to us. Please consider joining this energetic and positive group! If you'd like to volunteer, please just email us below or drop by!
volunteermanager@adoptfriends4life.org
Come by and visit! Even if you are not adopting an animal, we have well-trained staff to answer pet related questions, a wealth of training, medical and behavioral information and a fun atmosphere to just drop in and get your fix of animal love!
As always, Friends For Life is a No Kill organization.

More about this shelter
WHO ARE WE?
We are located in Houston and are the only LEED-certified green No Kill animal shelter in Texas. We incorporated as a 501(c)3 no kill organization in 2002. Friends For Life was started with the purpose of providing the animals of Houston and surrounding areas with immediate alternatives to the killing and a long term plan to change the direction of the sheltering community to a more compassionate future. Our ranks are made up of veterinarians, architects, business people, lawyers, physicians and animal care specialists all passionately dedicated to ending the killing of homeless animals.
WHY DOES OUR ANIMAL COMMUNITY NEED FRIENDS FOR LIFE?
At 80,000 annually, Houston has the tragic distinction of being the city that kills the most animals in its shelters second only to San Antonio. Some of the reasons Houston shelters kill animals is that they are a certain breed (pit bulls, rottweilers, chow chows, etc.), weigh under 2 lbs, sneeze on intake, are over 7 years old, are missing some hair or are pit bull puppies. 75% of the animals we adopt into loving homes have been previously rejected by other organizations as 'unadoptable.'Friends For Life is taking meaningful steps toward reversing this tragic situation by redefining 'adoptable' every day and finding homes for animals who otherwise have no hope. At Friends For Life, EVERY ANIMAL MATTERS.
EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION PROGRAM
Limited only by space, we will accept any animal needing our assistance regardless of age, condition or breed. They include beautiful cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. All are fully vet-checked, tested and have received all age-appropriate vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery.
We have training consults and discounted training services available for all FFL animals.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF CHANGING THE FUTURE?
1. Take a look at out website at www.nokill1.org and consider volunteering. Many of our volunteers have been with us for years and have traveled from as far away as Georgia and Indiana to volunteer for FFL projects. Trust us, it's a good gig!
Sign up online at www.nokill1.org/how-to-help/volunteer or just stop by and see us!
2. Adopt an FFL animal in need. The truth is, 'unadoptable' is what we make it. Every animal adopted from a no kill program sends a powerful message that this is the direction we want to see our shelters take. Every life has value. Together, we can chage everything!
