Her “poochies” were her children. She was also a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved as though they were her children. To them, she was lovingly known as “Aunt Janie”.

Of the numerous animal support and rescue organizations in Harris County and beyond, many are poorly funded. The lack of financial resources prohibits these organizations from assisting the multitude of abused and homeless animals in their charge.
The Mary Jane Carvel Foundation exists to conduct fundraising on behalf, and provide financial aid to, the underfunded animal support organizations in Houston and the surrounding areas.
