"There is a huge stray population in Houston. How can my organization (Barrio Dogs) work with HPD to help these animals?"
Chief McClelland: BARC does not have sufficient resources for city wide. It starts with responsible pet owners. Spay/neuter your pets, don't let them walk off leash. My officers are not trained or have the equipment needed to deal with stray animals. In a life threatening situation we will protect someone's life. In most situations, we have to call BARC and wait for them to respond. It is a resource issue with BARC.
