Q: How can I see these great dogs in person?
A: Come on out to one of our public adoptions each weekend to meet the dog
in person. You can visit with the dog as long as you like, and volunteers will be available to answer questions on known history about each dog. Times
and locations for adoptions are listed on the home page
of our website.
Q: How do I adopt a dog?
A: If you wish to adopt a dog you will be asked to fill out a S.A.F.E. House
adoption application form which provides us with detailed information about
your home situation, daily schedule, and suitability as a prospective dog
owner. If our volunteers feel that you qualify, you will be able to take the
dog home with you at that time! We do reserve the right to refuse
adoption to anyone for any reason.
Q: How much does the adoption cost, and what does that
include?
A: Our adoption fee is $95 for each dog and $120 for each puppy which is used to help defray costs.
Puppy adoption fee also includes enrollment in a puppy training class! SAFE
House uses the adoption fees to ensure that each dog has already been:
- examined by a veterinarian
- screened for disease including heartworm
- spayed or neutered (non-negotiable, law requires all
rescue animals to be fixed)
- received all of their initial vaccinations, including
rabies
- implanted with an
AVID identification microchip
device under their skin. This microchip allows identification of the dog
even if tags on his collar are lost.
Q: What else do I get when I adopt a rescue dog?
A: In addition to a devoted companion, when adopting your new dog you will
receive an educational packet with information on feeding, crate training,
housetraining, and basic obedience. This packet will also include coupons
for free veterinary examinations and reduced cost obedience training.
Volunteers are available through our phone line for follow up questions and
additional information should you need it.
Q: How do I contact a S.A.F.E. House volunteer to ask
more questions or make a donation?
A: We can be reached by phone at (281)370-0133. Please leave a
detailed message and your call will be returned.

Q: Can I
adopt a specific breed from your rescue group?
A: Although we do have a few purebred dogs in our lineup from time to
time, the majority of our loving pooches are mixed breeds. If you are
interested in finding a purebred rescue dog to adopt, you can contact the
local rescue group for that breed.
