BARC, Houston PetSet team up to help keep pets warm during cold snap🐾

As temperatures drop, BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions is stepping up to help pet owners ensure their furry friends are safe and warm.

In partnership with Houston PetSet, BARC is hosting a one-day event offering free dog houses and straw to City of Houston residents to help protect pets from the elements.

• Ways to keep your furry friends safe, warm in the winter

The event took place today, Jan. 6, at 3 p.m., at the BARC Wellness Center entrance located at 3200 Carr St.

Free dog houses and straw were available for Houston residents. Each vehicle was limited to one doghouse, and pets did not need to be present at pickup.

The initiative aligns with city ordinances requiring pet owners to provide adequate shelter for animals, especially during extreme weather conditions.

• It’s the law: Make sure your dogs have adequate shelter ahead of winter weather
