Special Pals has been operating in the Houston area for over 20 years. In the mid-90's, the shelter moved out to its current location on Greenhouse Road near Katy.

The shelter facility sits on over 3 1/2 wooded acres and provides shelter to approximately 60 dogs and cats.

The staff maintains the facilities and cares for the animals 7 days a week. Our wonderful volunteers work daily either "hands on" with the animals or away from the shelter at at fund-raising events or related projects.

If you are interested in adopting a pet, please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to allow time for the adoption process, which includes an application and an interview.
