Houston Humane Society and One-of-a-Kind Sanctuary for Special Needs Dogs Suffer Hurricane Damage

HOUSTON – Two non-profit organizations that give every dog ​​a chance no matter what now need a helping hand.

The Houston Humane Society is a no-kill shelter that doesn’t say no to lost dogs.

We were at the Houston Humane Society when Trish Murison brought in a stray dog ​​she had found in the Heights.

“Thank you for taking her in,” Humane Society Director Aaron Grady told her. “We can definitely help her and find her a permanent home.”

Beryl caused some damage to the shelter on the southwest side. The dog play area, where every dog ​​goes out every day to play, has a huge hole in the fence.

The same thing at the refuge’s wildlife center.

But the damage doesn’t stop the Humane Society from helping others,

“One of our biggest actions after the storm is going to be to help those affected,” Grady said. “We want to help those in need. We can provide resources, whether it’s pet food, boxes, etc. Also, any donation of money is very helpful.”

Priyanka Johri is the founder of Pure Mutts Animal Sanctuary in Conroe. It’s truly one of a kind.

She only takes in dogs who have nowhere else to go and offers them a home for the rest of their lives.

“Senior dogs in hospice who are not going to be easily adoptable have medical needs and expenses,” she said.

The Free Kennel and Free Cage Sanctuary were hit hard by Beryl as downed trees were everywhere, knocking down many fences.

Knowing that she can’t let the dogs roam freely, like they’re used to, breaks Priyanka’s heart.

“It’s like a bomb went off and destroyed what I’ve built over the last 16 to 17 years,” she said.
