I want to share with you a cause that is near and dear to my heart–pet rescue and adoption. I want to introduce you to a great non-profit animal rescue organization called Scout’s Honor Rescue, Inc.
Scout’s honor
Scout’s Honor Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization 
that focuses on rescuing and placing dogs and cats in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas. Scout’s Honor was formed in May 2006 by six volunteer rescuers who decided to pool their experience and love for animals to make a difference in Houston.Scout’s Honor is often the last resort for animals who are left abandoned to die in pounds or on the streets.
Scout’s Honor rescues animals from city pounds, including animals from Houston’s Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC) and the City of La Porte animal shelter. Scout’s Honor also takes in animals living on the streets. We do not limit our program to healthy animals or particular breeds, and we often save animals from abusive situations. Scout’s Honor provides these beautiful creatures with a second chance to be placed in loving, permanent homes so that they can receive the love and attention they sorely deserve. Since our formation, Scout’s Honor has rescued over 900 animals and currently has over 75 dogs and cats in the program!
Rescue of the month: meet jiggy!
Jiggy’s life didn’t start out very well, and sadly, it wasn’t because he was a stray born out on the streets, but instead he had an “owner”. Jiggy was living in the 100+ degree temperatures of this summer on a short heavy chain. Thankfully, a neighbor reported the cruelty and he was rescued by Scout’s Honor Rescue. The other “family” dog died in the back yard before we knew of Jiggy. Jiggy had no hair and was in life-threatening condition when he was rescued as well. Scout’s Honor stepped up to give him a chance at life and here he is today!! He spent three weeks at the emergency vet getting round the clock care. Only to be followed by ongoing antibiotics, hydrotherapy, medicated baths and a lot of TLC by his wonderful foster Mom.
Look at him now; he is a healthy happy goofball ready to be in the big fat middle of his own home sweet home. For more information on Jiggy and other pets like him, please visit www.scoutshonor.org.
