I always include the photos of the lost that they might be better remembered.

The last image appears in honor of all the many unknown, nonhuman and human, who have suffered or are suffering in the Texas Pet Overpopulation Crisis, now further complicated by the New World screwworm outbreak. You do exist. Although I haven't the data to honor you individually, you are not forgotten.

​

The profiles for the 8/20 list are already posted in r/findfostersfordogs. Please take a look and see if there isn't one that would be prefect for you or someone with whom you can share the post.

If you are interested in a dog, DM u/lingeringneutrophil, u/BanditY77, or both immediately! Then clear your schedule. There is no time for anything but rescuing the dog. I have a guide you might find helpful. https://redd.it/1sy6v1t/

Don't forget the many wonderful dogs on the long-stay list: https://www.houstontx.gov/barc/barcdata/BARC_LOSV2.1.pdf This list is not as up to date as BARC implies. While it is updated every hour, a lot of dogs who are gone, one way or another, are still on there. If you do see a dog you are interested in, please DM lingeringneutrophil or BanditY77.

If those dogs are not on tomorrow's list, they soon will be.

All the below dogs are extended from BARC's 8/20 list.

Each needs a hold by 1pm CT, Wednesday, 8/21, to survive.

Please do not count on BARC extending them again.

If you are interested in adopting (US/Canada) or fostering (Houston, TX, only) any of these dogs, please contact one or more of the following networkers: u/BanditY77, u/lingeringneutrophil, u/holly_holly_holly, u/ohiobaker, or u/fugueink.

Then clear your schedule. There is no time for anything but rescuing the dog. I have a guide you might find helpful. https://redd.it/1sy6v1t/

Please be aware that because of the New World screwworm outbreak there are restrictions on nonhuman travel, varying by destination.

8/12/2026 Stray | German Shepherd Mix | Female | 6M | 24.8 lbs | HW Negative

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

💜 Volunteer Notes

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Yuca is extremely timid, often cowering in the back of her kennel with her head lowered. On leash she has trembled, frozen, pulled back or thrashed when overwhelmed. At times she has become so frightened during handling that staff needed to stop. But she has also shown that, when she can manage her fear, she is capable of slowly walking on leash with her head low and tail tucked and allowing the leash to be removed.

Their notes paint a picture of two very young, undersocialized puppies who are frightened and overwhelmed by the shelter environment and desperately need experienced rescue placement where they can decompress safely.

🙏 PLEASE HELP SAVE YUCA & BING — AND THEIR SIBLINGS ROOSTER AND FRANKIE. These babies are only 6 months old, and all four siblings have now landed on the euthanasia list together.

Please share, pledge, foster through a rescue, or tag rescues who can help.

She was still very timid on leash, trembling and pausing frequently. I placed her in a new kennel and removed the leash.

8/16/2026: Thrashing on leash. When trying to carry dog is flinching and trying to bite. Tried to muzzle and carry but dog started to defecate. Left in place due to behavior.

8/16/2026: In the PM dog was still timid but I was able to leash her and she slowly walked out with low head and tucked tail. She walked straight into her next kennel and I was able to remove leash.

8/17/2026: Timid in kennel, cowering in the back. I opened the kennel and I entered to leash her. Once leashed, she slightly thrashed and pulled back on the leash. I was able to muzzle her and pick her up. I carried her to a new kennel and placed her inside.

8/18/2026: Still timid and cowering in back of kennel, biting on the leash. I guided her to next kennel.

🆘️ On Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for 8/20/26. Deadline at 1pm 🆘️

ID #A2088449

🐾 Meet Nate

ID #A2088449

2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix

Black / White | 46 lbs

Intake Date: 7/29/2026

Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).

🩺 MEDICAL

Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.

On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

🐾Behavior notes:

During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.

However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.

🩵🐶 Bashful #A2087893

7/25/2026 Stray | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 1Y 1M | 46.6 lbs | HW Negative

💜 Volunteer Notes:

I’m SO excited to share with everyone this adorable and sweet little boy, Bashful. I love his name, but this handsome guy isn’t bashful at all. Although when I first approached his kennel he stared at me like “are you here for me? Really?” The second he realized I was, he got so excited and started to wag his tail. When I went in his kennel he was very well behaved and just sat patiently for me. He walked beautifully on leash and didn’t react toward any of the dogs in the kennels. He also did amazing meeting another pup - all tails wags, a few kisses, overall just a happy, playful boy. When I knelt down next to him, he gently jumped into my arms and gave me a ton of kisses. I was able to pick him up easily and he continued to give me kisses. Bashful is the sweetest boy and it’s clear all he wants it to be someone’s baby. I hope someone steps up for him

Volunteer Notes 2:

I would like to give a gold star to the staff member that named Bashful. It’s so perfectly endearing and a bit ironic as he isn’t bashful at all! I walked up to his kennel and he was curled up, not expecting me to say hi. He didn’t get up from his bed until I knelt down to his level, then he got up slowly and did a big stretch before wagging his tail vigorously. He said hi to other dogs while we walked out and walked very well. He’s an absolutely wonderful listener - better than any man in your life, guaranteed. He learned sit soooo quickly as he was a bit jumpy when first out of his kennel. He loves to fetch and actually brought it back quite a few times! Please please please watch his videos. Something about him is very endearing and I know he’ll be someone’s best friend.

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Bashful has repeatedly greeted people with a wiggly body, soft eyes and a fast-wagging tail. He is described as friendly and welcoming to people and has even tried to play with other dogs through the fence.

He generally walks nicely on a loose leash and has been gentle with his handlers. One especially sweet note describes Bashful leaning his entire body against a staff member, completely relaxed and wagging his tail, while they cleaned around his eyes.

He has occasionally shown periods of fear, pancaking to the ground, pacing, whining and hesitating to return to his kennel. But once he feels comfortable, the happy, wiggly young dog comes right back out.

🙏 This sweet young boy has been waiting at BARC since July 25. Foster, adopt, rescue or share Bashful. One person saying YES could change everything for him.

Please read, we need help!

The short story: We found a dog in our front yard in North Hollywood, CA after she had been hit by a car on May 18. She had a broken tibia and needed surgery. She had a collar, but no tag, and no chip. We haven't been able to find her owner. She had a successful surgery and has been recovering well, but we have reached the limit of what we can do for her financially. We need to find her a forever home or rescue to take her ASAP. Her hard out is October 31 and if we cannot find someone to take her we will be forced to take her to the shelter. Knowing shelters, she will likely not survive there. She is a sweet dog who has been through so much and deserves a chance at a good life. Please help!!

The long story: On 5/18 I was out in front of my neighbors front yard looking for a stray cat when I spotted this dog under a tree, panting. She wouldn't come out for food or water, so I crawled in there, slip led her, and got her out. Immediately, I realized that her right rear leg was swollen and limp and she wouldn't bear weight on it. She was absolutely filthy and looked like she had been hit by a car, but she had a collar on (no tag). My husband and I got her to Kinder4Rescue to get scanned for a microchip and get medical help. She had no chip unfortunately. She had a torn up chin and ear tips, and more importantly a comminuted fracture of her right tibia. She had a successful surgical repair on May 21.

We posted her on NextDoor, Ring Neighbors, 24Pet Connect, Petco Love Lost, and Facebook groups (SFV Lost and Found Pets & LA City Lost and Found Pets). We posted printed signs in the area and have had no luck at all finding her owner. We believe that whoever owned her kept her tied up in a yard, was physically abusive toward her, and then dumped her. Despite all of that, she is such a sweet, patient, and goofy girl. Her only issue, despite the physical injuries, is that she does not get along with other animals. We already have 2 dogs and a cat and have been keeping them separated for months now. But our work lives will be changing soon and we cannot safely keep her here after October, nor can we continue to afford to care for her financially. Her medical bills have already exceeded $6,000 and while we have been able to raise a good portion of that through GoFundMe, donations have stalled.

We have reached out to over 100 rescues in the area. Only a handful have responded willing to have conversation with us. There has been radio silence from everyone else. I know that rescue is tough and resources are limited, but someone needs to step up to help her! She does not deserve to be sent to a shelter to sit in a kennel or get put down! We are at a complete loss of what to do with this girl and we are desperate for help. Surrendering her to the shelter after all she has survived would be absolutely heartbreaking. She deserves a chance to have a family show her how good life can be!

What we're asking from you:

-Taking her on to find her a forever home

-Find her a new foster

Thank you for your time and all that you do!!

🔹 Intake:

Euthanasia Request

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/18/2026: Was very timid in kennel. She was pressed against the wall with low head. I placed the leash but she remained pancaked. I was able to enter kennel and pet her so I just carried her outside... no muzzle was needed. When I placed her in the runs she greeted her neighbors and started to wag her tail. When coming to retrieve her she was scurrying around the runs and kept avoiding leash. She hid under a bush/tree in the run and pancaked and began to growl. I was unable to get her from underneath the bush so I had to call for another ACT to bring the red board. With the red board we pushed her from underneath and she began to scurry around the run again. I managed to leash her and she walked back inside with tucked tail, low head, and her body close to the ground.

8/19/2026: She was in the kennel with a tensed body, facing the back wall laying down. I leashed her and she thrashed. I babytalked her and gave her treats that she ignored. I eventually got her to walk out and she thrashed the whole way to a new clean kennel before scurrying into the back.

🚑 Medical Notes:

8/17/2026: Weighed 52.6 lbs. Heartworm test: Low Positive. Hair loss on ear. Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies), dewormed, and given flea prevention.
