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!
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.
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.
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.
If you’re interested in bringing a new pet into your home or even pondering ways to help out, this is the perfect opportunity! The Clear the Shelters campaign is all about getting animals out of shelters and into loving families. Visit the Texas Humane Heroes website, where you can check out all the adoptable dogs and cats available right now.
But that’s not all! If you’ve got some time and energy to spare, volunteering at the shelter is another fantastic way to make a difference. Whether it’s socializing the animals, helping with fundraising events, or just spreading the word about their mission, every little bit helps in the quest to save more pets.
