JOIN OUR COMFORT CREW!!

For many shelter pets, July 3rd and July 4th are some of the scariest nights of the year.

While we celebrate with fireworks, many of our dogs and cats are frightened by the loud noises that often accompany the holiday. We're looking for compassionate volunteers to simply spend time with them, helping them feel safe, comforted, and less alone.

We'll have radios playing calming music, toys and enrichment activities available, and plenty of treats for pets and people alike! Bring a book, a blanket, your favorite playlist, or just yourself. Your calm presence can make all the difference.

📅 Friday, July 3
⏰ 8:00 PM – 2:00 AM

📅 Saturday, July 4
⏰ 8:00 PM – 2:00 AM

Come be part of our Comfort Crew and help make these frightening nights a little easier for the animals in our care.

Meet BooBoo! 🐾

BooBoo is a 5-year-old Chihuahua mix who is searching for her very own forever home. She can be a little shy at first and may need some time to warm up, but once she trusts you, you'll never be able to pry her out of your heart.

This sweet girl is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her people. She would do wonderfully with a family and gets along well with other small dogs like herself.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with lots of love to give, come meet BooBoo anytime we're open. She can't wait to find her perfect match! ❤️

We had 10 dogs scheduled to leave on a Wings of Rescue transport flight on June 27th, headed toward their second chance at life and loving forever homes.

Unfortunately, due to the New World Screwworm outbreak, Pennsylvania and New York have now closed their borders to dogs coming from Texas. As a result, two of our precious pups, Mr. Rocky and Mr. Butterball Boyd, have lost their spots on the transport.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that Maine remains open so that the other 8 dogs can still make their journey to the loving homes waiting for them.

This news is especially heartbreaking for Butterball. He has been with us for so long, and our staff and volunteers were overjoyed knowing that his long wait was finally coming to an end. Mr. Rocky was also looking forward to his fresh start, and now both boys find themselves waiting once again.

While we hope transport opportunities will open back up soon, we would love nothing more than to see these handsome gentlemen find homes right here in East Texas. If you have room in your heart and home for a loyal companion, please consider adopting or fostering Mr. Rocky or Mr. Butterball Boyd.

Sometimes the journey to a forever home takes a detour. Let's show these boys that their happy ending is still out there. ❤️🐾

For adoption or foster information, please contact Pets Fur People or visit our website.
