Does the Houston SPCA euthanize strays?
In accordance with Texas law, stray animals will be held for at least three days to give owners an opportunity to reclaim. If they are not reclaimed by their owners they will undergo health and behavioral evaluations. Healthy, behaviorally sound animals will be placed into our adoption program. The Houston SPCA proudly places 100% of our healthy, behaviorally sound canines and felines animals that are healthy and free of serious behavior issues – into loving new homes. No animal is ever euthanized at the Houston SPCA to make room for incoming animals.
