Our Mission

Our mission is to save as many dogs off the streets as well as dogs on euthanasia lists at shelters across Texas. We spay and neuter all dogs in hopes of reducing the number of unwanted dogs in our state. Our goal is to find them homes full of love and compassion.

431 Furever Homes in 2024

WUWF is proud to announce that 431 dogs found their forever homes in 2024! This milestone is a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved.
Here's to even more happy tails in the future!

Still on the streets

Still on the streets. This mom and puppies were dumped. We are trying to help the lady that has them in her front yard. Can anyone foster a puppy?!! She doesn’t want the city to pick them up. A neighbor already called animal control! Houston, Tx. ... See MoreSee Less

WUWF is in need of d

WUWF is in need of donations, as adoptions have slowed tremendously due to the changes on Petfinder!

We still have over 200 dogs and some still need to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. We just took in two moms and their litters. These were dogs we were working on prior to the changes on Petfinder. We also took in some dogs that were trapped.

We are still trying to help people find solutions for dogs that they are finding on the streets. But taking to a shelter now is worse than ever.

Please help us continue to save lives! Petfinder is claiming they will have a solution to this problem in January. We are trying hard to make it through this tough time! Thank you everyone who have donated and continue to support WUWF and the work we do!!

🆘  Please, everyo

🆘 Please, everyone reach out to Nestle and Purina!! Petfinder (a Purina Nestle company), has changed the way dogs are posted on their site!! Our dogs are no longer being seen all over the US the way they used to be! Because of these changes, rescues are not pulling dogs off euthanasia lists or off the streets, as adoptions have come to a hault! 🆘

🚨We are heartbroken as we see these euthanasia list, and no, there is nothing that anyone can do at this point. Everything falls on the decisions made by Purina Nestlé for Petfinder!! Please, email and call them!!!

UPDATE… John Boy h

UPDATE… John Boy has been found!! He showed up on this lady’s front porch today and when she got home from work, she saw him and called the number on his tag. And THIS is why EVERY pet owner should have a collar with a tag and phone number on it! This should be the law!

🆘 I am trying to put a group together to go out and look for one of WUWF’s puppies!! He got away from the foster around 6:45 last night.

I am working on flyers now. The area is Hillcroft and a Bellaire. There are so many businesses out there and it won’t be easy. I will add a reward to the flyer in hopes that this will encourage those in the area to keep an eye out and hold on to him till we can grab him.

If you can help me today, please text me that you are available to help look for John Boy. My cell is (713) 962-9813.

He is about 8 months old and about 30-35 lbs. He won’t survive the 20 degree weather that we are suppose to get over the next week. He is a very goofy sweet puppy who loves everyone, and all animals. He is NOT street smart! 😢This worries me the most. I do not feel he can find his way back and is probably lost. I also do not think he would know how to try to stay warm.

Please, any amount of time would be HUGE help, and possibly save his life! We will meet in a parking lot to hand out flyers!
