Jackie McNew and Wilma Lord have been rescuing abused and homeless animals for as long as they can recall. They opened their first shelter in the Houston "Heights" area in 1999 and named it "Mr K's Halfway House for Hound".
Mr. K's is named for one of the first stray dogs they brought in. While at Kroger on Airline Drive. Wilma noticed a stray dog that was mangy and was being kicked around. Wilma picked up the abused dog and brought him home and nursed him back to health. The mangy dog, given the name of Mr. K, is now healthy, full of life and is the namesake for the pet shelter.
Mr K's now provides shelter for more than 120 dogs and cats. All animals are either spayed or neutered and are available for adoption. To operate throughout the year, Mr. K's sole supports depends on donations from individuals or businesses and adoption fees. Mr K's is a non-profit no kill shelter.
