Our Mission
Beaumont Pets Alive is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working at both local and regional levels to improve animal health as a critical component of the “One Health” initiative. By contributing to the overall health of Southeast Texas, we support communities through education, direct services, and access to resources that strengthen the human–animal bond and improve public health outcomes.
Our long-term goal is to elevate animal welfare across the region and to make all of Southeast Texas a true “No-Kill” community—where healthy and treatable animals are no longer euthanized simply for lack of space or resources.
History
Beaumont Pets Alive was founded with the belief that saving animal lives requires a collaborative, community-driven approach. From the beginning, we have worked alongside local shelters, rescue organizations, and municipal partners to develop programs that reduce euthanasia rates and improve outcomes for animals in need.
Under the leadership of our founder, Dr. Kelley Kays, Beaumont Pets Alive played a key role in advancing lifesaving policies in our region, including the implementation of Trap-Neuter-Return programs and other progressive practices at Beaumont Animal Care. These efforts helped the municipal shelter achieve a “No-Kill” save rate in December 2018—a milestone that has been maintained each year since. Operating within the framework of the One Health initiative, we recognize the strong connection between animal welfare, public health, and the well-being of our communities. This approach guides our work as we provide medical care, vaccinations, and sterilization for animals rescued from high-risk situations, preparing them for successful adoption.
Since our inception, Beaumont Pets Alive has saved over 5,600 animals through local adoptions and transport partnerships. We remain actively engaged in the community through adoption events, educational outreach, and support for underserved populations—including assisting with veterinary care for pets belonging to individuals experiencing homelessness. We also partner with local pet retailers to increase adoption opportunities and visibility for the animals in our care.
Today, our work continues to expand beyond Beaumont. We are actively supporting surrounding communities, including Orange, Texas, in their efforts to achieve “No-Kill” status. With the support of our dedicated staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers, we remain committed to creating a future where every healthy and treatable animal has the opportunity for a safe and loving home.
Why Your Support Matters
Every animal we save has a story.
Many come to us scared, sick, or out of time—facing euthanasia simply because there isn’t enough space or resources. With your support, those stories don’t end there. They become stories of healing, hope, and second chances.
At Beaumont Pets Alive, we have already saved more than 5,600 animals, giving them the medical care, safety, and love they need before finding homes of their own. But our work is far from finished. Every day, more animals in Southeast Texas are still at risk
Your support directly fuels lifesaving action:
- Rescuing animals from euthanasia lists
- Providing critical medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services
- Creating opportunities for adoption and transport to safe placements
- Supporting programs that improve community health through the human–animal bond
This is more than animal rescue—it’s about building a healthier, more compassionate community for both people and pets.
When you give, you are not just donating. You are saving lives. You are giving hope. You are helping create a future where “No-Kill” isn’t a goal—it’s the standard across all of Southeast Texas.
