The Hill Country Humane Society is participating in the national Empty the Shelters adoption event this July to combat overcrowding as the shelter reaches capacity.
From July 1-26, and in partnership with the BISSELL Pet Foundation, HCHS will offer $40 adoptions on all puppies, kittens, and cats, with all other adoptions free of charge.
All furry friends will receive age-appropriate vaccinations, rabies shots, microchipping, deworming, and will be spayed or neutered free of charge.
HCHS, located at 9150 RR 1431 West in Buchanan Dam, is open for adoptions daily from noon to 5 p.m. A list of adoptable cats and dogs can be found online.
“We have had more than 100 pets enter the shelter in the past month, and we need our community to respond now,” Executive Director of Hill Country Humane Society Paighton Corley said. “BISSELL stepping in early gives us a critical opportunity to get pets into homes before we run out of space.”
HCHS is also searching for foster homes during the coming months to allow susceptible pets more space and a quiet environment as the shelter’s capacity increases.
“Fostering does not have to be forever to matter, even a short-term foster can make a life-saving difference,” Corley said. “A few days, a weekend, or a couple of weeks can give a pet a break and help us keep moving animals safely through our care.”
