HOUSTON -- Dozens of animals were adopted Thursday during News2Houston's daylong Petathon.
News2Houston teamed with the Houston Humane Society to match loving animals with new homes. An adoption hot line was opened Thursday while animals were featured on News2Houston.Humane Society officials said 49 animals were adopted Thursday, which is twice the number of adoptions than on its busiest day.Hundreds of people also visited the adoption center looking for potential pets. Some callers phoned in donations so the Humane Society can upgrade its facilities. More than $30,000 was raised.Every animal at the Houston Humane Society, 14700 Almeda Road, needs a home, but officials want prospective adoptive families to know that it is a lifelong commitment."We want to make sure that it's a permanent family -- that that's somewhere that animal is going to go and have the life that it deserves," said Stacey Wilbanks, with the Humane Society.There is a fee of $65 to adopt a pet."It's not a huge price, but it's enough for us to continue helping the animals and at the same time realize that they are making a little bit of an investment, but when they get that, (it's tenfold)," Wilbanks said.The fee covers the following services.
