Scout’s Honor Rescue

I visited all the local city shelters and did a ton of research before coming across Scout’s Honor, and from the moment I filled out their adopt/​foster questionnaire, it was immediately clear I had found what I was looking for. I am a first time dog-​owner, despite wanting one for years, and the volunteers at SH continue to go above and beyond to help their critters find the right home. They called me back within an hour of filling out their form, spent an hour on the phone with me learning more about my lifestyle and what I wanted from a dog, and then made some suggestions on which dogs they had in their program that fit my lifestyle. My dear Crosby had a couple minor medical issues after I fostered him, and they held my hand (and his paw!) throughout every vet visit and new situation as they came up. He’s now perfectly healthy and having a blast as my new running partner/​couch companion. It didn’t take long to decide he was the dog for me, and even after officially adopting him, any time I need advice on even the smallest of questions, they respond immediately and go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure their dogs (and humans!) are as happy as can be. I can’t recommend them enough, and will do as much as I can to continue donating to their wonderful organization.

An angel network made up of ordinary volunteers!
I found an abandoned dog in the middle of my street with its collar and leash still attached, but in pretty bad shape. It was obvious that the dog has been mistreated and neglected. We housed her for a night and took her to Sunset Animal Clinic the next day to get checked out…$ 500 later we were told that the dog was suffering from a severe case of UTI and needed to be on medication.
We didn’t want to take her to BARC or the SPCA because we knew that they would only hold the dog for 3 days before they would euthanize her, and we knew that this dog would need some TLC and time to be out going. I contacted EVERY no kill shelter and agency from Houston to Austin asking for help, and all of them said that they were in full capacity because of the recent floods. Scout’s Honor contacted me within an hour of my email to them, and they were the only ones that said that they would do everything they could to help the dog. They contacted their network in DIFFERENT STATES to help this poor dog find a place to stay. Jennifer with Scout’s Honor kept me in the loop with what was going on, and they think that they found a foster for the dog in Wisconsin. She also said that Scout’s Honor would take care of the transportation — WOW, talk about people going the extra mile for a scruffy abandoned dog!
Even though nothing has been finalized yet, I’m just blown away at their level of commitment and ability to reach out and help. I will definitely be supporting this organization from here on out, and you should definitely too!
Thank you Scout’s Honor for all of your hard work and love for the voiceless furry creatures.

Just filled out the application for a Rottweiler. I am anxious to hear from them. If I don’t hear from them by Tuesday, I will be going to Waugh Drive to do a follow up.

I got my girl from Scout’s Honor in April of 2013. I had every intention of adopting another dog that I had found on their website, but they voiced apprehensions that they had since I was a first-​time owner. I ended up going to their adoption event and described the type of dog I was looking for. They brought out Samantha (now Mochi) and I fell in love.
Her foster dad was obviously enamoured with her and had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. Everything he said was true and she was better than I could have imagined.
She was heartworm positive when I got her and had a umbilical hernia. When I told Scout’s Honor about the weird lump, they made an appointment with a vet for me no questions asked. They paid for the surgery and her first six months of heartworm medication.
Every person there cares deeply for the dogs and tries to make sure that the dogs are good fits for the people. It’s important for them to find the dogs homes that they will be happy in forever. They also have a policy that if for any reason you want to give up the dog, they will take the dog back from you at any age.
Don’t be discouraged if they don’t get back to you right away on an adoption application. The people who work on the adoption committee all have full-​time jobs other than the rescue, so it could take a couple of weeks, but it’s worth the wait.
If you’re looking for a dog, especially an older one, Scout’s Honor Rescue is a fantastic place to adopt. They know the personalities of their dogs and can tell you loads about them before they set paw into your home.

Scouts Honor is one of the most amazing organizations with which I’ve ever worked. These people put the animals above all else. Those of us who foster would rather keep the animals for months and months before just sending them home with someone for the sake of having them placed. They are VERY picky and allow their fosters the right to be picky as well.
The bad reviewers here were obviously not good fits for the SHR animals they were interested in. I understand how that may seem to them. But in the end, everything this group does is in the best interest of the animal.
I’ve fostered both dog and cats. I currently have two foster kittens.

Scouts Honor is beyond amazing. I have adopted two amazing dogs from them and I’ve had them for over a year and they still provide support and advice with all the love you could imagine. It is obvious they care about each and every dog in their program. I would absolutely work through them for any pet adoption!

Awesome organization. I foster a dog for them and have seen first hand how much they love dogs and work to find them good homes.

Husband and I never heard from these people about a dog!!! We went to a different place and found us a new family member. Obviously Scout’s Honor is in no RUSH to find their animals a permanent home!

While I was in Corpus Christi on business, I kept running into emaciated animals, dogs chained up with no access to food or water, and dogs running into traffic. It was needless to say, a very depressing and eye-​opening experience. My friend and I attempted to place these animals in local shelters or to find them homes. We came across 2 thin dogs that were running loose with a flea infestations and ticks. The smaller of the pups was pregnant and in bad shape. We had to leave for Houston and didn’t want these two animals to be left on the streets or be euthanized at an already crowded animal control office so we contacted Scout’s Honor. They returned our call immediately and said that they would help us even though they were low on resources. We were able to transport the dogs to an emergency vet where they received medical treatment. Scout’s Honor then found foster homes for the dogs until they could find them permanent homes. I kept in contact with Scout’s Honor throughout the process and ended up adopting the pregnant pooch. She had her puppies in Houston and after several weeks, I made the voyage to come pick her up. The puppies are being placed in homes in Houston as we speak.
Scout’s Honor Rescue is an INCREDIBLE non-​profit animal rescue organization that focuses on rescuing and placing dogs and cats in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas. Scout’s Honor is often the last resort for animals who are left abandoned to die in pounds or on the streets. They rescue animals from city pounds, animal shelters, also takes in animals living on the streets. They are a foster based program so the animals are not kept in cages or neglected.
Please consider adopting, fostering, or donating to Scout’s Honor as they are truly making a difference!
