Houston Humane Society

Since Jenny and her family started fostering with Houston Humane Society in 2022, more than 180 pets have spent time in their home while waiting to be adopted.

Their journey began while volunteering at the shelter, when they came across a flyer for the foster program. After recently losing their beloved German shepherd, they were looking for a way to bring joy back into their home while helping animals in need.

Jenny says, "The foster coordinator was really helpful to match us up with what would work for our family, puppies. The kids were so happy as they have never seen such small puppies before."

They also foster kittens, who can sometimes be a little "spicy." But Jenny says seeing them "become cuddly and purring is very rewarding."

Eventually, each foster pet moves on to a new home. For Jenny, she “cries some happy tears and saves the next animal in need.”

Families like Jenny’s help create space, comfort, and a fresh start for so many animals.

Yolanda never had a pet, until she met Princesa. 💙🐾

After seeing a post about a dog in need, Yolanda opened her heart and home, giving Princesa a second chance. Like so many pet guardians, she wanted to do everything right, but access to veterinary care can be a challenge.

Through our Pets for Life program, Princesa received the care she needed to stay healthy, including vaccinations, flea prevention, and essential supplies, all at no cost to Yolanda.

Today, Princesa is thriving in a home filled with love.

But there are more families still waiting for that same support.

If you’re able, consider making a gift to help provide care and resources for pets in our community.

Text HumaneHero to 41444 and give $15 monthly to help families access veterinary care, pet food, and the support they need all year long.
