“These adoption specials come at a crucial time when our facility is nearly full. BARC is starting the day with limited open kennels for dog intake, and both adoption buildings are nearly full,” said BARC Shelter Director Greg Damianoff. “Every divider in our south adoption building is down, and our treatment wards are completely full with dogs receiving medical treatment. Difficult decisions must be made as we continue to intake 70-100 animals daily. If you’ve ever considered signing up to help as a foster or have wanted to adopt a shelter pet, now is the perfect time.”
To further assist adoptable pets, BARC urges Houstonians to assist the shelter in growing its local foster/rescue network and encourages potential adopters to look first at shelter pets. If you or anyone in your network is interested in partnering with the shelter to share information about adoptable pets or sponsor an event or program, please visit https://www.houstontx.gov/barc/get_involved.html.
