Houston Heights Pets Now Up For Adoption: Winston, Merle, Martha May & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and give back to the Houston Heights community at the same time? Maybe it's finally time to adopt a pet! During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in and around Houston Heights have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for an adorable new fur child is at K 9 Angels Rescue, where Martha May the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal shelter. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Winston, a Domestic Long Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
