Our Mission
Saving Our Companion Animals – Fort Bend County (SOCA-FBC) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization. SOCA-FBC is dedicated to saving and improving the lives of companion animals and promoting responsible pet ownership in Fort Bend County, TX. Our 100% volunteer organization helps sick/injured animals, urgent or needy shelter pets, and community animals needing to be re-homed. We render assistance to our local shelters. We believe that becoming a community that cares for its pets starts with Education, Assistance and Accountability. We rely 100% on contributions from the public and your generous support in providing foster homes for the pets in need.
SOCA is raising funds for a Ford Transit van.
The total cost to buy the van and set up a network of rescues, fosters, and veterinarians is approximately $45,000. The van will transport dogs and cats from Ft. Bend Co. to adoption events in other parts of the country, where rescue animals are in higher demand.
The Houston greater metropolitan area, including Ft. Bend Co., is saturated with homeless animals in need. Currently, we rely on outside transport companies to move Ft. Bend Co. animals. Without our own van, we’re only able to move 3 animals every year due to costs vs an estimated 120 animals every year with our own van.
December 2019 we received a grant from Houston PetSet for some of the cost. Recently March 2020, we received another grant from the Petco Foundation. But we need a more donations to cover remaining costs. Please help us reach our goal by giving generously and sharing our fundraiser with friends/family. Thank you for your support to help us to save more lives!
Thank you, Petco! for your generous donation that supports our 2020 strategic goal to have our own transport van! With your grant, we’re closer to being able to purchase a van that will move Ft. Bend Co. animals to other parts of the country where rescue animals are in demand.
