Houston, Texas · “From Rescue to Refuge, All Are Welcome Here”
Armadillo Alley
The Houston, Texas regional sanctuary of WolfHaven LLC, serving greater Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast. Focus: animals of every kind — companion animals, farm animals and native wildlife — from greater Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast.
I. Why here
The need in Houston.
Houston’s size, storm exposure and open-intake shelter system mean the problem is volume. Armadillo Alley is built for high-volume intake, disaster response and long-term care for any animal — pet, farm or wild — that other facilities cannot house.
