Official Mission Statement

At FosterDoc Houston, our purpose is simple: save lives, reduce euthanasia, and transform the future of every dog in need.

Our Story (so far)

In July of 2022 we took in 6 puppies and their mama off the streets. Zuleikha had been finding dogs a home since her residency but had always dreamed of creating a true shelter. After caring for these 7 dogs and finding them all wonderful homes, we decided it was time to make that dream a reality. In June of 2023 we moved out to the country to allow us to expand the rescue. We now have a larger shelter on site as well as amazing fosters who help us save as many dogs as possible.

Join us in our mission to rescue, heal, and rehome- because together, we can make dog dreams come true.
