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.

I would say that we can never have too many shows like this, but that's not really true. If we have a show like this in every city it would start to look like TV networks just cashing in on the latest trend, and I think the work that the people are doing on the show is far too important to be trivialized like that. I have only seen a few episodes, but it is always uplifting to see people whose lives are centered on seeing that animals receive humane treatment in a very human world. I have a feeling sometimes that people will watch the show and see something like several educated and professional people fretting over the well-being of a 24-hour old baby rabbit and think, "doesn't the world have enough rabbits already?" But the message of the show is that, especially in a society like America, humans are very much in control of the environment, particularly that of domesticated animals, and there are people who severely mistreat or neglect their animals and it's good to see that those animals are taken from those people, and as often as possible, the people are properly punished for their shabby behavior.I also like the way the show is structured. We see an introduction to a problem with an animal or some animals being maltreated or tortured or just living in an inhumane condition, and then the investigators go to check it out. Rather than just telling one story at a time, they introduce each story and then move on to the next, coming back to the different stories throughout the show and ultimately ending with a conclusion, which is as happy as circumstances allow. Generally the animals are treated and adopted into happier families, although there are cases where they have to be put to sleep.All my life I have had a very deep love of animals, so it's nice to see a show that is dedicated to their well being. The show is alternately heart wrenching and uplifting, and I like to think that even though there are only TV shows in a few cities, this kind of work is being done all over the country. Bravo!

This show picks up where "Animal Precinct" leaves off. (That was the show based in NYC).This show basically shows animals and farms in the Houston area, and the animals which must be rescued from horrible conditions and situations. Especially noteworthy are the segments which educate the audience about the weather, how dogs should not be left out in the heat; horses and the special care they require.What is so positive about this show is that it educates the audience, and is especially helpful if you have young children, who may want a pet but don't fully realize the responsibility.Usually the show concludes on a positive note, with an animal being adopted out to a good home. It is heartwarming to see the technicians, rescue crews, and veterinarians who are devoted to helping these animals. While some of the cruelty cases are shocking, this is an important subject that the public should be educated about. 9/10.
