Leander’s Pawsitively Exciting News: A Shelter Initiative for Our Furry Friends!
Hey there, Leander! If you’ve been on the lookout for a new furry family member, you’re in for a treat! The Texas Humane Heroes, a fantastic no-kill nonprofit right here in our city, is gearing up to become the ultimate haven for dogs and cats. That’s right — this is the time to get involved, whether you’re thinking of adopting or just want to lend a helping hand!
Why Now? Clear The Shelters Campaign is Here!
The organization recently showcased a super adorable puppy as part of the Clear The Shelters campaign, which has become a much-anticipated event for animal lovers everywhere. With this campaign running until Tuesday, September 10, the Texas Humane Heroes is encouraging everyone to consider adopting a pet and giving a loving home to an animal in need.
The Mission of Texas Humane Heroes
So, what exactly does the Texas Humane Heroes do? According to intake and foster manager Kate Nesbitt, the shelter works closely with high-kill shelters across the state to rescue as many pets as possible. “We usually pull from [shelters] that are high kill just to make sure that they can make space so more animals can go in,” Nesbitt explained. This proactive approach helps to combat the devastating issue of pet overpopulation and provides a second chance for many adorable animals.
More Paws to Save!
Nesbitt mentioned that this time of year typically sees an uptick in foot traffic at their shelter, and it’s no surprise given all the excitement surrounding pet adoption. “We have pulled quite a few more animals into our shelter in the hopes that we can help clear the shelters across the nation,” she said, conveying the shelter’s heartwarming commitment to rescue.
It’s worth noting that while the Texas Humane Heroes is not an open-intake facility, they do everything possible to welcome any animal that needs help. “We absolutely love to save animals,” Nesbitt said passionately. They are genuinely dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our furry friends.
