Pet Adoption In The Houston Heights Area: See New Local Dogs, Cats & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Perhaps it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in the Houston Heights area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
Across Texas, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for your new family pet, consider looking around at a local shelter like Friends For Life Animal Shelter And Sanctuary, where Olive the cat is waiting patiently. 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.
If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Annie, a Mixed Breed up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
