HOUSTON – Meet Dr. Kabir Rezvankhoo. He’s the ICU medical director at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital.
Recently, on his way home from work, he found two stray dogs and brought them home.
He didn’t have any pets at the time, but he said he knew he just couldn’t turn his back on these two dogs.
Turns out, both strays were pregnant and now he’s got 13 puppies - for a grand total of 15 dogs.
He’s sharing his story on “Houston Life” in hopes of finding forever homes for all of the dogs involved.
“We’re doing our best you know, but I would love for them to find a home with a loving caregiver,” Rezvankhoo said.
Our friends at the Houston Humane Society have jumped in to help him.
Macey Staes with the Houston Humane Society offered this advice to anyone in a similar situation.
“If you see a stray dog on the side of the street, and you want to help it - have a plan already. If you cannot foster, calling 3-1-1, letting somebody know, posting a picture on the Facebook group is going to be your best option, because right now there is nowhere that you can take in a stray animal,” Staes explained.
Rezvankhoo says so many people are supporting him, including his own wife and kids - and even his neighbors have jumped in to help him care for the pups while he’s at work.
He does plan on fostering the pups until they are ready to be adopted.
