What are the hours of Shaggy Dog Rescue?

No opening hours are on record. Call at (713) 524-2297 or check its website before visiting; many shelters keep separate hours for adoptions, intake and lost-pet searches.

Can I surrender a pet to Shaggy Dog Rescue?

Call the shelter before you bring an animal in. Many shelters and most rescues take owner surrenders by appointment only, some charge a surrender fee, and some keep a waiting list. Ask whether they offer a rehoming program or pet food and vet assistance first; many surrenders can be avoided with short-term help. The municipal animal control shelter is usually required to accept animals from residents of its city or county.
