How PawAlarm helps in Houston
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in Houston — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your dog.

What should I do if I find a stray pet in Houston?
BARC asks residents not to pick up strays unless they can care for them at home. City of Houston residents who do pick up a stray must make an appointment to turn it in, since all pet intake is by appointment only. No appointment is needed for sick or injured strays, which can be brought to the 2700 Evella entrance during business hours. A valid ID is required to enter the facility.
