Our Mission
Our passion for saving pets is equaled by our passion for helping people and our community.
|
Our mission to honor pets during their stay in the shelter was the inspiration for the world’s first and only Sweet Suite Shelter©.
|
The magical bond people share with their pets drives our passion for saving, honoring and connecting people with homeless pets.

About Us
This year we celebrate 35 years of saving thousands of pets and bringing joy into the lives of those who have adopted them.
Our Vision
Our vision is to end the needless euthanasia of homeless pets.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to help local communities with the economic and moral burden of stray and homeless pets through our unique pet rescue, shelter, and adoption programs.
Our History
Established in 1989, Grand Companions has grown from a small group of volunteers serving Jeff Davis county to a fully staffed organization serving the Trans-Pecos Texas region and beyond. Grand Companions was founded over three decades ago by Laura Langham, who still serves as the organizations Executive Director to this day. What started as housing a few stay animals at the local Jeff Davis vet's office, has now become a major organization with multiple adoption centers and over 30 rescue partners across west Texas.
Our Belief
Humans domesticated cats and dogs 15,000 years ago. Since then, through breeding, we have genetically engineered them for one thing - to want to be with humans, whether serving us, working for us, or being our beloved companions. Because we chose to make them dependent upon us, it is our responsibility to care for them, and they deserve to have their own person or family. Our goal is to connect homeless pets with that person or family as quickly as possible.
Our Sweet Suite Shelter ©
No pet should have to live in a shelter, but we recognize that shelter life is a necessity at this time. Our Sweet Suite Shelter© is uniquely designed to honor shelter pets by providing the best possible care during the time they must spend at the shelter. This innovative sheltering system provides a uniquely positive experience with a calm, happy, interactive environment for the pets, clients, and our staff.
