Twyla’s Friends is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 1995. We are a small group of Volunteers in the Kingwood, TX Area and our goal is and has been to help homeless dogs in our community. We do not have a physical shelter or kennel facility; instead are a network of dedicated foster homes that house dogs and transform them into valued members of the family. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid members. All Volunteers have families and jobs to juggle alongside their various foster dogs and volunteer jobs. All money donated is used to cover vet expenses - all dogs receive the necessary health care, including spaying/neutering and are micro-chipped. We sometimes get asked if we are "'Twyla". No, none of us are Twyla, Twyla was a dog who was rescued by the founder of our group, and all friends - two and four legged - that assisted with stray and abanadoned dogs near her home were soon called Twyla's Friends.
1. Please read our Adoption Considerations to make sure you are prepared for your new family member and are set up for success! 2. Complete the Adoption Application on our website. 3. Once approved (vet references are checked and any ambiguities are cleared), a meet-n-greet with the dog will be arranged, we encourage you to bring the whole family and your dog(s), to let the dogs meet on neutral ground to see if they are compatible. If you would like to meet more than one dog, we suggest coming to one of our meetups. 4. Next step is a home and yard visit to safety-check fences and allow your dog(s) and our dog to aclimatize. 5. If Twyla's Friends, the foster, and family all agree its a good match - it’s time to adopt your new family member!
