A Mason and Sadie Reunion

Sadie goes swimming while Mason stays close by

Both Sadie and Mason were living in the streets across from Mason Park, Greater East End Houston, an area with many homeless and abandoned dogs like poor Sadie and Mason. After one of Sadie’s pups was run over, a caring resident decided that was the last straw and decided to help Sadie and her remaining pup, Mason.

Both Sadie and Mason were taken into the Barrio Dogs program, vetted and spayed and neutered. Mason has found a wonderful home but Sadie is still in need of a home; however, we know her day is coming.

Sadie was recently invited to Mason's new home for a reunion play day and we were very happy to have been part of this fun afternoon. Thanks to Mason’s new mom Kathryn Daly for inviting Sadie over to have a little bit of paradise!

A common occurence, this homeless dog seen a few days ago at Lavanderia near 74th and Harrisburg in Greater East End Houston.

Barrio Dogs has helped Sadie, Mason, Damian, Frida, Teddy, Sophie, Emma and Bruno all from the Mason/Magnolia Park area. Currently, Barrio Dogs is spending nearly all its available budget on veterinary and boarding costs, leaving only a portion of funds available for the educational programs at the heart of Barrio Dogs' mission.

Please consider the homeless and neglected and homeless in this area and surrounding Greater East End Houston by donating to our organization.  Thank you.

The Animals of Mason Park Need Your Help!

The animals in Mason Park in Greater East End Houston are in trouble. There is a major problem happening in this community with animal abandonment, mistreatment and neglect. Something has to be done! We need a change. These photos were taken in just the last couple of weeks. Barrio Dogs gets emails about this area on a daily basis. We have already rescued several dogs from Mason Park, some of which were in very bad shape.

This is not a third world country--this is Houston, Texas.  Please join us in raising awareness of the horrific conditions of these animals. Instead of buying superficial holiday gifts, how about helping one of these dogs get off the street?

If you can help, please email Gina Damian at ginadamian@gmail.com or Lawrence Benavides at law4625@aol.com. Both are long-time Mason Park residents and know this area well. They can show you what they see everyday: all the many homeless and neglected animals that need help!
