HOUSTON – It’s officially Clear the Shelters month, and that means it’s time to open your heart — and maybe your home — to a pet in need. For the 12th year, shelters across the Houston area are teaming up with KPRC 2 and our community partners at Energy Transfer and Houston Christian University, to help every dog, cat, bunny, and guinea pig find the loving family they deserve.
Why adoption matters
🐶Every year, thousands of pets end up in shelters through no fault of their own. When you adopt, you’re not just bringing home a companion — you’re helping save a life. And every adoption creates space for another animal to be rescued and cared for.
Not ready to adopt? Consider fostering
🏡Even a short-term foster can make a lasting difference. It gives pets a break from the shelter environment, helps them adjust to home life, and supports shelters as they work to care for more animals in need.
