BARC Offers Tips for Keeping Pets Safe This Fourth of July Weekend 

As many Houstonians prepare to kick off their Independence Day celebrations this weekend, BARC, the City of Houston’s Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, is sharing tips for how to keep pets safe. Many pets become lost on July 4th due to the stress induced by the loud celebration. Use these helpful tips to keep your furry friends safe at home this year.

Keep pets indoors

Even in fenced yards, pets may become so spooked that they could escape and become lost. It is best to keep all pets indoors during firework displays.

Create a comforting space

Set up a comfortable room or crate in your house just for them. Noise from a radio or TV can help diffuse the sound of fireworks. Provide your pets with plenty of toys and treats to keep them entertained and busy.

Escape-proof your home

Fireworks can cause some pets to panic even when indoors. To prevent escapes, ensure all windows and doors are closed and secured. If your pet escapes, please visit the BARC website or visit in person any time from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. any day of the week at our entrance at 3200 Carr Street, Houston, TX 77026.

Update pet identification

Identification is important in the event of separation. Make sure ID tags on collars are up to date and verify that microchips are current.

Never share party food and drinks with pets

Many human foods can be dangerous or even deadly for dogs, cats, and other types of pets. Remember to dispose of any leftover food waste in appropriate, secure garbage bins, both inside and outside of the home. Also, be sure to keep all alcohol out of reach of pets.

Keep your pets cool and hydrated

Sufficient shade and cool water is important for your pet to have while outdoors. Pets cannot regulate heat like humans and must be monitored carefully in hot weather. Their paws are also susceptible to heat, so be sure to keep pets off hot asphalt, concrete, or sand.

Beware of insect repellent

Never apply insect repellent products to your pet that are not labeled specifically for use on animals.

Pet Adoption Special at BARC this Weekend:

BARC is offering $4 pet adoption fees for all pets from Friday, July 1, through Sunday, July 3. To meet our adoptable pets, stop by BARC’s Adoption Center at 3300 Carr St. from 12 – 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday or visit http://www.houstontx.gov/barc/adopt_a_pet.html to see our adoptable pets. For more information on BARC’s full services, visit www.houstonbarc.com.

Please note that BARC will be closed for all services on Monday, July 4.

Spring man sentenced to 45 years in prison for killing neighbor in her front yard

Spring man sentenced to 45 years in prison for killing neighbor in her front yard

A 48-year-old Spring man was sentenced to 45 years in prison Thursday after being convicted of murder for shooting his neighbor in broad daylight as she stood with her dog in her front yard, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced.

“Hector Campos is a violent and vengeful man who killed his neighbor simply because they did not get along,” Ogg said. “Ana Weed, a loving wife, mother and grandmother, is dead and her family is devastated because an angry man with a gun could not control himself.”

Hector Arturo Campos was convicted earlier this week for gunning down his neighbor, 53-year-old Ana Weed, in her front yard on Jan. 24, 2017, in the 3400 block of Mourning Dove in Spring.

Weed’s family members testified they had a feud with Campos that began when Campos’ then-wife took the couple’s infant daughter on a trip to Mexico in June 2016. Campos had arranged the trip, then changed his mind and tried to cancel it. Because of that, Weed drove Campos’ then-wife and the baby to the airport, which apparently angered Campos, who eventually filed for divorce.

 Months later, Campos was cleaning a truck in his driveway when he confronted Weed in her front yard about where his estranged ex-wife and daughter were. The two began arguing. Weed’s small dog got away and started barking at Campos, who tried to kick the dog. Weed, who had been wrapping a gift for her grandson and had a roll of clear packing tape in her hand, tried to retrieve the dog. At that point, Campos produced a handgun and shot her one time.

Campos later told police that Weed pushed him and then made a motion as though she was going to wrap a length of tape around his neck to choke him, so he shot her.

Jurors rejected Campos’ claim of self-defense, and sudden passion, convicting him of murder and sentencing him to 45 years in prison.

“You took away the life of an incredible and valuable person,” Weed’s sister, Carmen Guillen, said during her victim impact statement. “We will cherish her memory and she will never be forgotten. She lives on through her son and grandchildren.”

Assistant District Attorney Christopher Condon, who prosecuted the case with Ryan Trask, said the jury came back with the right verdict and a just sentence.

“He showed no mercy to Ana Weed,” Condon said. “For this family, every possible joyful occasion will be marred by sorrow, so we’re thankful for the jury’s hard work in bringing them justice.”

“My artwork explores the chaos of city life that is affected by the complexity of the architectural environments we live in. I created characters and placed them in the artificial environment that mimics city life. These characters are interacting with the Escher-like, optical illusion and maze-like structures they are living in. Some seemed to be lost, while others are trying to escape the environment they are in.”
