Texas leads the nation in animal shelter deaths, according to the Best Friends Animal Society. The organization says for every 10 dogs that enter an animal shelter here, only four are adopted.

Animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society will host its annual dog walk event “Strutt Your Mutt” in Houston on Saturday.

Here is a Texas-sized problem that’s only getting bigger as we enter the new year. Big dogs are left to languish in animal shelters across the state, explained Kerry McKeel with Best Friends Animal Society.

It is hard not to smile while watching a kitten frolic among the wrapping and bows, or feel filled with comfort and contentment as a dog snuggles up to you on the couch and rests their soft head on your lap while you watch your favorite holiday movie.

Did you know that Texas is ranked #2 in the country of healthy cats that are killed in animal shelters?

There are so many dogs that need homes, but there is a certain group that is often overlooked when it comes to adoption, and that’s dogs that are bigger than 40 pounds.

For every 10 bigger dogs that enter a Texas animal shelter, fewer than four are ever adopted.

Animal shelters across Houston are facing challenges with declining adoptions and increasing animal intake, which is leading to overcrowding.

One Houston area businessman is teaming up with an organization to help kick off donations and adoptions in the Houston area.

On National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, it’s only right to make sure everyone has access to see all the adorable furry friends looking for their forever homes.

Best Friends Animal Society Senior Program Manager Kerry McKeel shares what their organization and others can do to help. KPRC 2's Lisa Hernandez helped kick off the "Texas Big Dog" campaign on Oct. 1 with a virtual adoption event. “People think that they need to have a big yard or a big space for a big dog, and that’s just simply not the case,” said McKeel. “We foster big dogs, and most of the big dogs we bring into our home are actually much more gentle and quiet than the small dogs that we have."
