Animal Fostering: Helping One Animal At A Time

HARRIS COUNTY, TX — The widespread of animals all through Houston is causing shelters to become overcrowded as they are abandoned by their owners.

With shelters overflowing with animals, the shelters are looking for Good Samaritan’s who are willing to adopt/foster the homeless pets.

If the animals don’t find a home by a designated date they are unfortunately euthanized.

Taking in an animal can prevent this from happening.

For those who want commitment in a loyal buddy, adopting is the perfect choice for you. Others who would like to help can also Foster. Fostering a cat or dog is considered one of the best options for those who are not quite ready for a commitment but would still like to lend a hand.

Fostering consists of nurturing and caring for them temporarily until they can be dispatched to a permanent home with a family who’ll love them forever.

When fostering an animal the time being could last up to 2-4 weeks. Depending on how long the relocating process takes.

There are multiple sites that announce animals who are in danger of being put down.

https://m.facebook.com/network... is a page that specializes in creating announcements for homeless pets that are looking for someone to give them a chance.
