Jubilee & Barrio Dogs in the Houston Chronicle

Great article from the Houston Chronicle about our work and the upcoming Jubilee event! One correction: we have not rescued 300 dogs. We've vetted and fixed at least 300 dogs, many of which had a home or were on their way to one.

Thank you to the Houston Chronicle for recognizing our work!

"Dog Days of Summer" Dogwash

Our Barrio Dogs team was out beating the heat Sunday, August 26 at the “Dog Days of Summer” Dogwash hosted by Firkin & Phoenix (1915 Westheimer Rd.) to raise money for Barrio Dogs and two local rescues.  There was fun all around with hot dogs & homemade dog treats, a raffle, dunking booth, bounce house, music and of course lots of happy dogs! 

Many thanks go out to Firkin & Phoenix, all of the dog washing volunteers and the many others who made this event possible and successful!  Also, thank you to the Houston Chronicle for mentioning this event and some of our very own Barrio Dogs Adoptables (to see the pictures featured in the Chronicle follow the link: http://www.chron.com/news/gallery/Wash-Dogs-48027/photo-3371966.php)
