March is the month that RPM went over 19,000 dogs and cats saved just from BARC! What great partnerships we have here in Houston and in other states. It wouldn’t be possible without our fosters, transporters, volunteers and donors, so we love showing you the lives you helped save.

If you’ve never joined us or stayed around for a full transport morning, we invite you to check it out. We can always use more help, and we really love being able to include lots of people in the group shot we take right before the vans leave. We may be a little silly by that point.
Work, play, save lives: It doesn’t get any better than this.

It seems like it’s been a long time since December, but we know you haven’t forgotten all the wonderful dogs and cats who traveled. We’re in the middle of a fundraising campaign to ensure there will be many more photos and journeys for Houston’s homeless pets to go toward their forever homes. (If you want to help, please click here: Donate Now.)
Our Wisconsin partner joined us on the first transport of the month and took these great dogs to their new lives.
The last transport of the year was a time to celebrate not only the rescue of these dogs and cats, but all the accomplishments of 2016. We helped BARC finish out the year with a successful second month of their 90-for-90 challenge, with a better than ninety percent save rate for the month of December. As we moved toward 18,000 saved, it was hard to believe we began with a single rental van of dogs in October of 2013. What a great journey this has been!
November gave us many reasons to be thankful and celebrate. With more than 450 dogs and cats transported during the month, RPM passed the 17,000 saved milestone! That’s more than 17,000 dogs, cats, and two pigs given their chance at better lives in three years! In addition, BARC’s live release rate for November–the first month of their 90-for-90 challenge–was 91.1 percent! In the world of rescue, that’s a “no kill” number. Congratulations to all the hardworking people at BARC who’ve made this possible with their rescue partnerships and adoptions. We’re so happy to be part of your team!
Our Wisconsin rescue partner came the first week of the month to take these lucky pups to their new homes.

There’s no way all the great milestones of November would have been possible without our partnerships with BARC and the out-of-state rescue groups who love our dogs and cats as much as we do; our volunteers, fosters, transporters, and donors; and our great veterinary partners. THANK YOU for all you do, and we hope to see you December 3 for our 3rd Anniversary Party!
Do you remember October? It seems like a long time ago to us, too. But thanks to you, for hundreds of animals, October was the beginning of their new lives. It’s when you let them know by donating, fostering, and transporting how much Houston’s homeless pets matter. Here are the fur kids of October who traveled.
We kicked off the month with our Wisconsin partner, who drove these pups–and that’s right, one pig!–to their new lives.
