Twyla's Friends is a 501(3)(c) charity as recognized by the IRS. We have no physical shelter but instead depend on a small network of dedicated foster homes. Our mission is to help the dogs we can from our community. Unfortunately the need is much greater than our small base of foster homes can cover. Our foster homes almost always operate at or above their allowable foster dog capacity. Our greatest need right now is foster homes; we can only help as many dogs as can be fostered.
If you have lost or found a stray dog please email us a complete description (include a picture if possible) and put signs up in the area you found the dog. If the dog does not have an i.d. tag on, putting up signs is the most effective way to get a dog home. Contact the local vets and other rescue groups with this information as well. If you have found a stray dog and the owner cannot be located and you can foster the dog and bring it to adoption day in Kingwood at least twice a month, we can help you with the dog's medical expenses and provide you with guidance on how to foster a dog; we can sometimes even loan you a crate for the dog. If you cannot foster the dog yourself, we cannot help you at this time and suggest you contact the other local rescues or take the dog to one of the many Houston area based shelters. We are always happy to help motivated, compassionate people who can invest some time in finding dogs a new home and life. IF YOU HAVE FOUND A DOG AND CAN FOSTER THE DOG YOURSELF please contact us via email at twylasfriends@yahoo.com or call the hotline at 832-488-7937 and we will contact you with more information. We get dozens of calls and emails a day, be patient, it may take a few days to get back to you.
Twyla's Friends is a volunteer organization, there are no paid members and no shelter or kennel facilities. All the money donated is used to cover our vet expenses and fund the very successful PAL (Prevent a Litter) program where individuals who need financial help can get their dog spayed or neutered for $40.
