Houston attorney Colby Lewis has announced a $10,000 donation to support the lifesaving work of ThisIsHouston, a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating severely injured and abused dogs across the Houston area. The donation will help the organization continue expanding its rescue operations and medical care programs as it moves to new land to support the growing number of animals needing treatment.

Why it matters

Houston currently faces one of the largest stray animal populations in the United States, creating ongoing challenges for shelters and rescue organizations. Groups like ThisIsHouston play a critical role by stepping in to save animals that might otherwise have no path to recovery. Lewis' support for the organization is also personal, as his own rescue dog has become the unofficial mascot of his law office.

The details

The donation will support lifesaving medical care and rehabilitation for abused and critically injured dogs across the Houston area. Lewis recently met with the organization to learn more about its mission and the urgent challenges it faces while caring for animals that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. The nonprofit is known for taking in some of the most critical rescue cases in the region, including dogs injured in car accidents, victims of abuse, and animals requiring hospitalization in order to survive.
