The Houston SPCA has officially updated their policy to allow photography and video of animals held in stray intake. This change ensures that families can locate missing pets without the requirement of constant in-person visits. I appreciate the dedication shown by everyone who supported this initiative to improve transparency.

Every effort should be made to reunite lost pets with owners. many are desperate but also work during spca hours
I have often thought about going to take pictures at the shelters. I didn't even know this wasn't allowed.
Now allowing a photographer in the HSPCA to document pets brought in there is ridiculous and cruel. Many more animals would be returned to their griev8kwners, and many more would have a chance at adoption if people could see them on social media. Houston SPCA has a very high kill rate, which could perhaps be reduced if people knew which animals are there on a daily basis.
I really believe in this! As a pet owner who is missing a pet it would help out a lot. This would also allow owners finding their pets quickly reducing the amount of pets. at the SPCA.
if you're only giving 3 days for owners to find their babies, then there SHOULD BE more information available to the public to find them!
The more I learn about SPCA, the less I like the
Please allow rescue groups to photograph and share photos of strays in order to reunite more pets with their families.

If it helps reunite owners & pets, as well as prevent deaths, why not let volunteers help?
