I love, love, love this show. It's better than the other animal cops locations - Philly, Mama, Phoenix, San Francisco, etc.. My gripe is there are no new episodes;. they're all before 2011 in my viewing area ( Austin, TX - Spectrum cable) on Animal Planet .

I just wanted to post this review to say that I love Animal Cops Houston. I watch this show everyday,and I love it. I have so much respect for what they do. I feel like anyone who neglects and or abuses animals should be given the strictest consequence. I have no respect for people who do that. I have a beagle border collie mix, and she is my world. She is 2 yrs old and I got her from Texas. I love animals so much. I said that when we go to visit my girl friends mom in Waco that I would like to stop to see the animal's at the Houston Shelter. Thank you guys for everything you do and showing how much you care for animals. I think you guys are the best and you have the best rewarding jobs. Keep Animal Cops Houston on the air....and I would love to meet the whole cast if we come by that way.

I support the idea of this show and all the others from other cities ( Detroit,New York, etc.). But like the one from San Francisco this one can be frustrating. The officers working at the protection of animals in Houston aren't deputized like the officers in Detroit, and New York, Those officers have arrest and seizure powers and that can allow them to take immediate action, especially when the animals life is at stake. And immediate treatment can be the difference between life and death. In Texas these officers can only observe what's going on, and report back. They can warn owners they can't speak with by posting a notice but they can't even rescue animals they can see and get to, even if that animal is dying. It can be very frustrating to watch. There are numerous episodes where officers keep going back and observe animals starving or dying of thirst and all they can do is post notices until a specified period of time goes by. So while San Francisco goes to far to the left, Texas does better at protecting individual rights but doesn't go far enough to really protect the animals. New York should be a national model for how this mission should be done. This show does have some scenes that can be difficult to watch, it's any important message and should be watched. THe bad scenes are offset by the animals they are able to save and place in new and caring homes. The hope is that people will watch and then support these agencies, and push for better humane law enforcements.

This show follows the work of the dedicated Houston SPCA as they rescue and try to heal and adopt out all kinds of animals in the Houston Texas area.The depth of neglect can sometimes move you to tears, but the moments of happiness as they find homes for the animals, and you get to see them with with their new families can change the tears of sadness to joy! There's undeniably sad, sad moments... But so many, many more uplifting ones! For the most part watching leaves you with a good feeling about those who care about our animal friends. The workers have such hard jobs in the first place, and some of the efforts they have to make to rescue the animals are super-human! I've really gotten hooked on this show of late.*********************
