Update: Per volunteer-run website for this facility:
Adoption hold together and they are waiting for surgery and will be ready to pick up in a few days. They also have a backup rescue hold.
Two dogs have only one another at an animal shelter in Harris County, Texas. The dogs, Negra and Moneca, were turned over to the Harris County Public Health facility when their owners – the people who were supposed to love and protect them, moved and made the decision to not take the dogs with them.
Now the bonded friends are sitting in terror inside of a lonely kennel run – both are clearly terrified and confused over what has happened. Worse still, the dogs are in danger of losing their life – even though they have done absolutely nothing to deserve death.

The volunteer-run Facebook page which operates to help save homeless pets at the facility wrote of the dogs’ dire predicament:
These two sisters were left at the shelter by their owners because they were moving. Their review date was when the shelter closed today, Thursday March 30th, but the shelter gave them another day to find a home even though they are PACKED FULL!
If Moneca and Negra do not find a forever home, or a foster home, by the time the shelter closes tomorrow, Friday the 31st at 6pm, they will be euthanized without another extension. Please don’t let them down like their owners did. They don’t deserve this.
Please help these dogs find a new home – a home where they will never be turned away again.

Please you have to save these poor innocent babies!!!! They don’t deserve to be treated like this!!!
Poor frightened animals how could anyone be so heartless such a sickening act of betrayal
Bloody shocking leaving these poor dogs behind just makes you wonder what sort of people would do that the dogs look so scared makes my blood boil thinking its except able to abandon them.
Yes, why couldn’t they take them with them? Why would they move somewhere they couldn’t go? I’m sure the owners knew what could happen to them and they didn’t care. Sharing and praying with all my might these poor dogs get out!
These babies were just adopted the shelter and will join their 4/5!!!
Oh thank the Lord they were adopted, this is for sure that they have their new LOVING FOREVER home?
Please update
Fantastic news! They were both ADOPTED TOGETHER, and will join their new FOREVER home next week (after spay/vetting)!
Thank you for update,Bless their new forever home people!
Thank you for the update… I understand that there are circumstances why you have to give them up but to a kill shelter??? There is a special place in hell for someone like that!!!! I would live in a cardboard box before I ever gave up my dogs!
Awesome! God Bless! <3
Oh…thank God!!! Thank you so much for the update!!!

TWO BEAUTIFUL DOGGIES!!!!!!! GOD AND JESUS, PLEASE GIVE THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS AND ALL LOVING ANIMALS WONDERFUL LOVING FOREVER HOMES AND HEALTHY BODIES!!!! AMEN!!!!!!
OMG… That is awesome news… 🙂
thank god. for animal lovers. i would take those former owners. i am 60 if i could not. my.dogs with me i would not move. i would live in the woods
Les anciens maîtres devraient être condamnés à ne plus jamais posseder d’animaux. Ils recommenceront avec d’autres âmes innocentes.
their shelter shows they have a possible adopter…..lets keep showing them though in case “possible” falls through! shared please update
Oh God. Please someone help these desperate and darling bonded dogs. It is not their fault they were left behind by some disgraceful people.
I am sick over this.
Thank God !! How can people be so cruel . Im so happy there are still so many other good people who care and live our precious babies !! Thank you !
Thank the Lord!
The same thing should be done to the owners
POS owners!
That’s great news……I was crying reading about them. It’s sad what they did to them. The owner move didn’t bother to take them at all. They could find someone who wants the dogs. But God bless them. God knowns what they did to them. These dogs were scared. Family moved and bonded them and they didn’t care if the dogs live or die. GOD BLESS THESE DOGS FOR A NEW FAMILY……..Great news!
God bless there new parents and that they will stay together who ever you are you are so blessed and have a forever heart ! Give them both a kiss for me

God bless the new owners who took in these two! Mat you have many blessings and great memories:)
Thank you
Why do people get animals that they don’t take care off . The least they could have done found them a home even if it mentioned to separate them !!!!
OMG! My heart hurts so bad for these babies! Jerks that do this should NEVER own another dog or cat EVER AGAIN! This so called shelter should be call a killing factory for dogs! SO IMMORAL! SO HEARTLESS!! AND SO,SO,SO WRONG!! This killing factory needs a MAJOR overhaul! The only crime these dogs and all the others in this PIT OF DESPAIR is being homeless! Why is that a death sentence? SHAMEFUL! WAKE UP HARRIS COUNTY,YOU CAN AND YOU SHOULD DO BETTER THAN THIS!
Please don’t kill them, they deserve better than that! Please someone help I’m to far away to do anything (UK) please let them be rehomed!
My message to the so called “owners”
YOU ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH
YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS! I HOPE
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IS HELL ON EARTH, AND THAT IT IS THE MOST MISERABLE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!
ITS A GOOD JOB I DON’T LIVE NEAR YOU, YOUR NEXT MOVE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO THE CEMETERY!
YOU ARE NOT FIT TO HAVE ANY ANIMAL IN YOUR CARE!
Harris County ‘AGAIN” They need to make a movie about that “Hell Hole”” “Want to Kill American’s Eagles, Hang your Neighbors Dog, Teach your Kids to be Low -life worth Scum BAGS, Dump you animals with NO Remorse, Hack your Neighbor’s dog to Shreds, ” MOVE HERE YOU WILL JUST LOVE IT” No fine, No Law , Common WE SIMPLY LOVE THE LOST FORMS ON EARTH!!!! Free Black Tar and Meth to the First Dozen New Arrivals!!!!!
Just ignore the fact that the page posting these issues is run by volunteers and is the first ever of its kind in Houston. Focus on the negative. That’ll help.
Totally agree! It’s an unfair nightmare for dogs EVERYWHERE,some places are worse than others but I say THANK YOU to all volunteers everywhere who have these sites and try their best to save whatever dogs they can! I volunteer in a shelter also and we too have a site to push adoptions. I will say there is NO WAY I would ever work in a place that kills dogs for being homeless,so I admire the volunteers who do work(for free)in these horrible shelters that kill to try and save lives! God bless them!
We’re these dogs saved?
