See The Latest Adoptable Pets In The Houston Heights Area
Looking to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in and around Houston Heights have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets 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 — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for a lovable new fur child is at Friends For Life Animal Shelter And Sanctuary, where Starlight the cat is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 in permanent homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet River, a Domestic Short 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.
