Heading out for thanksgiving? 🦃🍁
Don’t forget your fur babies! We love these pet travel safety tips from Harris County Pets 🧡

🦃 This Thursday is Thanksgiving! While many of us are packing bags and hitting the road, don’t forget to prep your pets for safe holiday travel. At Harris County Pets, we want every furry family member to travel smart and stay safe.

🔖 Make sure their ID tag and microchip info are up to date.
🧳 Pack their food, water, meds, and comfort items.
🚗 Secure them safely in the car and plan for regular potty and stretch breaks.
🐾 Keep them close while you’re on the move — and never leave them alone in a parked vehicle.
✈️ If you’re flying, double-check airline requirements early and use a comfortable, ventilated, approved crate.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pets safe this holiday season. 💛

Check those hoods for our feline friends!

As temperatures drop, outdoor cats seek warmth in car engines, wheel wells, and under vehicles. Before starting your car, take these simple steps to keep them safe:

✅ Use Your Remote Alarm – A quick click can startle hiding cats and encourage them to leave.
📢 Honk Your Horn – A loud noise can help wake up any sleeping kitties.
👊 Tap or Bang on Your Hood – Knocking can alert hidden cats and give them time to escape.
🔦 Check Under & Around Your Car – Look near the tires and under the vehicle for any curled-up cats.
🐾 Gently Open the Hood – If you suspect a cat is inside, open the hood slowly and allow them time to leave.

Taking a few extra moments can help save a life. Share this reminder to spread the word! 🐾❤️

The shelter is in need of your help! If you can foster or are interested in a new friend reach out to the shelter!

🚨 EMERGENCY: OUR SHELTER IS AT CRITICAL CAPACITY! 🚨

Right now, nearly 500 dogs are being housed at our shelter. We are out of space, and needing fosters. 🏡 We’re are looking for fosters who can commit for any amount of time. If you live in Harris or a surrounding county, YOU can be the difference for these pets.

💙 Fostering is FREE and saves a life! We will provide all essentials—food, crates, medical care, and supplies. All you need to provide is a safe space and love. These dogs are stressed, scared, and desperate for a break from the shelter.

Can you help? Even fostering ONE dog will make a difference!

Unsure which pets are available to foster? Our foster team can provide you a list of all foster candidate dogs!
