RPM is only able to accept homeless animals into our program AFTER our transport partners have accepted them into their program and approved them for transport.We are contracted through these shelters to rescue, rehabilitate and transport dogs and cats to animal welfare agencies and no-kill shelters located in other parts of the United States. RPM is a transport program that rescues animals from Houston area shelters, primarily BARC (the city pound), with a focus on animals that are in danger of euthanasia.

Thank you for your interest in Rescued Pets Movement. And the number of rescued pets growing every week! Since starting operations in late 2013, Rescued Pets Movement has saved the lives of over 30,000 homeless companion animals by rescuing them from area shelters and transporting them to permanent homes. They are then placed temporarily in foster homes with our volunteers until they are ready for transport to their new homes. The dogs and cats we save from BARC (Houston’s City Pound) and other area shelters are fully examined and treated by our partner veterinarians. After working with various rescue groups for many years, the founders of Rescued Pets Movement realized that the best way to save these dogs and cats is to build solid relationships with reputable rescue groups here and in areas of the United States and Canada where there is a need for adoptable pets and transport the animals to these organizations using our own vans and drivers. is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides a second chance for thousands of homeless dogs and cats through rehabilitation and transport to forever homes in communities throughout the United States and Canada that have a demand for adoptable pets.Įach year, thousands of adoptable dogs and cats are needlessly euthanized in the Greater Houston area each year simply because of pet overpopulation.
