This weekend is national Adopt a Shelter Pet Day with discounted adoption prices from overloaded facilities.
Fort Bend County Animal Services has had many multiple-animal intakes; this mother was found with her puppies and brought into their shelter.Deyra Galvan, senior coordinator of community engagement for the animal welfare organization said Fort Bend County Animal Services will be one of the 15 Greater-Houston area animal shelters that are teaming up with them to facilitate adoptions, promote fostering and reach out to potential volunteers.
Vasquez said their shelter is accepting fosters, both short-term and long-term as a part of their foster-to-adopt program, where potential adopters are able to keep an animal, they may want for a longer period of time. All animals that are up for adoption on Saturday and Sunday at their facilities are spayed or neutered, microchipped, have all their vaccinations and are tested for heart worms prior to their adoption.
“I don’t think people realize that in Houston, which is the fourth largest city, we have shelters that have two staff members for the whole shelter,” Galvan said. “That happens here, that is why we chose to partner with shelters and rescue centers of all sizes and kinds so that we can help improve operations and save more pets.”
He expects a relatively large turn out as events at their shelter tend to draw people who are considering adopting. The only requirement of those that are coming in to adopt or foster is to bring a form of identification in order to fill out the paperwork.
