Welcome! 

If you are looking for a new pet friend, please check out our Adoptable Dogs on Petfinder. We will be at the Petco in League City at the Gulf Freeway and FM 646 in the HEB shopping center on Saturdays from 11:30 to 4 PM*.  (Petco link goes to map.)

Please email for more information about our pets.

Right now, N.A.B.S. needs a vehicle to transport our rescues to the adoption site, to the vet's office, and other places. An SUV or mini-van would be preferred, but any working vehicle with space for the animals would be appreciated. Please email Pam Sanidakos or Gaye Hart if you can donate a vehicle. All donations are tax deductible.

To volunteer, please contact Gaye Hart. Volunteer hours are shifts from 11:30 to 4: PM on Saturdays; volunteers are always needed for other work during the week, depending on workload. Petco recently changed the ages for volunteers; volunteers are now accepted from ages 16 on up.

Find us on facebook where our newest arrivals are added everyday!

Please Sponsor or donate and help our precious animal rescues.

Our primary mission is to rescue dogs from kill shelters and keep them until a new home can be found. We need forever homes for our precious rescues and for that, we depend upon caring friends, neighbors, and people from all over the country that have rescued one of our little angels.

Please remember:

  • Don't buy a pet or breed a pet while others are waiting in shelters for you. Your love can save a dog's life today.

  • We live temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give. --Douglas M. Lawson


Will Rogers said, "I consider myself a millionaire because I have a million friends and I believe every one of them would give me a dollar if I asked." 

Would you give $1 to become a friend to N.A.B.S. so we can continue to save them from undeserved euthanasia in kill shelters?

Information

Thank you so much for considering adoption first!  We strive to place as many safe and healthy pets as possible into loving, for-ever homes. We work hard to match our adoptable rescues with families whose expectations, personalities, lifestyles and homes best fit that pet’s needs. We care about our rescues emotional well being and look for the family that can best provide for those needs.  We encourage you to avail yourself of information about adoption prior to adopting and recommend:  Pefinder/BeforeAdoption

When you come to our mobile adoption site or The Sanctuary to adopt a new pet, make sure to ask lots of questions about the animals that you are interested in.  If our volunteer does not know the answer they will be happy to find out the answer for you. 

You will be able to spend some time with our rescue so that you can see how he or she interacts with each of your family members, especially your children. If you have another dog at home, we will set up a doggy “Meet and Greet” in order that the dogs can be introduced on neutral territory which is essential to get things off on the right "paw".

Once it is mutually decided that a rescue is a good fit for you and your family you can begin the adoption process by first completing our application. We have an adoption committee meeting Wednesday of each week.  Your vet reference will be checked and you will be emailed by Friday of that week whether approved or declined.

Our adoption fees vary from pet to pet with younger, more popular animals being at a higher fee than our more mature or special needs rescues. Adoption fees help us to recover some of our costs for all our rescues are dewormed, administered vaccines (Duramune Max 5 and Bordatella), given rabies vaccine, heartworm tested, given heartworm and flea prevention, spayed or neutered and microchipped. Some pets may also receive special veterinary care if needed!  Adoption fees help recirculate funds so that we can continue to save more lives.
