Citizens for Animal Protection
Our Mission
Citizens for Animal Protection is dedicated to caring for pets in need through sheltering, adoption, humane education, low-cost wellness services, and community outreach. We exist to provide a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Our History
Founded in 1972, we have spent decades advocating for the respect and compassion that all animal life deserves. By fostering a deeper understanding of animal needs, we work every day to build a more humane community in the Greater Houston area.
How We Operate
As a non-profit organization, we provide a safe, managed-intake shelter environment where animals receive medical care, vaccinations, and love while awaiting their forever homes. Our dedicated team and extensive foster network ensure that every animal in our care receives the attention they need to thrive. We believe in providing high-quality care and support until each pet finds a family that is the perfect fit.
The Adopter Connection
Finding your new best friend is a joyful journey, and we are here to help you make a lifelong match. We invite potential adopters to visit our shelter to meet our wonderful dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and small animals. Our team is committed to transparency and helping you understand the unique personality and needs of your future companion.
