HOUSTON (KIAH) – Today is National Pet Day and here at CW39 Houston, we take our furry friends seriously. We have our paws in the community and are on top of pet events happening to help you celebrate the cause.
If you don’t have a pet, Houston SPCA is asking the public to consider donating or fostering some of there most vulnerable kittens and puppies. The organization has more than 20 animals currently in their neonatal nursery who are in preparations to be adopted. The little cuties are being well sought after, staying warm and gently hand feed by staff.
The adoption center is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can find and sort through available pets on their website here.
There is also an issue of overpopulation here in Houston and there are resources to help keep animals safe and off the streets. Aldine fire and rescue along with best friends animal society has resources to prevent animal homelessness and over population.
According to these agencies, here are a few tips to help the effort:
