Since RPM was founded in 2013, we’ve saved more than 100,000 homeless pets, including over 80,000 dogs and cats from BARC alone. Today, RPM saves an average of 17 pets every single day from Houston-area shelters, more than all other rescue organizations combined.

We can only continue saving at this scale because people like you honor their pledges and donate toward the animals we rescue.

Houston faces an enormous and ongoing homeless animal crisis. Our shelters routinely take in more animals than our community can adopt locally, leaving shelters overcrowded and the most vulnerable animals at risk. RPM steps in to give thousands of these dogs and cats another option.

When RPM saves a pet from BARC, getting them safely out of the shelter is only the beginning.

We provide the veterinary care, medications, rehabilitation, foster or boarding support, food, supplies, and everything else they need while in our care. Once they’re ready, we transport them to our trusted rescue partners across the country, where they have a much greater opportunity to find loving homes.

It costs RPM approximately $572 to save each pet.

When you honor your pledge, your donation helps pay for the entire journey from BARC to safety, including medical care, daily care, and transportation to a rescue partner and ultimately a forever home.

With an average of 17 animals entering our program every day, those costs add up quickly. The donations and pledges made for the BARC animals we save are what make it possible for us to keep going back and saving the next ones.

Whether you pledged $5, $50, $500, or simply found this page because you want to help, your gift matters.

Your pledge helped give us the confidence to say yes. Honoring it helps us say yes again tomorrow.

Thank you for helping us give Houston’s homeless pets the futures they deserve.
