Friends for Life Animal Shelter & Sanctuary is a non-profit organization based in Houston that attempts to make animal rescue and adoption a community effort. Friends for Life's "no kill" policy seeks to find stable, permanent homes for rescued animals as well as encourage animal lovers to become temporary foster parents. The organization works in conjunction with "itscool2care"--a non-profit focusing on children's involvement in community service and activism.
When stepping into the W 19th location of Friends for Life, it is evident that this is a group of people dedicated to the improvement of these animals' lives, as well as the attitude of the neighborhood. Many a passerby drops in to pet the cats, interact with them in the play area, and tour the facilities. However, most adoptions seem to take place at the Petsmart location on Shepherd. The W 19th location is relatively new and is steadily accumulating volunteers and potential pet owners, but more publicity is still needed.
