Heart of Texas SPCA: Disaster Response and Recovery Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

Replacement canopies that cover the outdoor kennels.

The grant allowed us to replace a few of the canopies and fans damaged by the heavy rains and winds we had. Because we are an outdoor facility, these canopies are necessary to protect our dogs from the elements.

Tom and Jerry were rescued off a busy street on Mother’s Day by a good Samaritan. At only 10 weeks old and only about 5 lbs. each, they would not have lasted long on their own. They appear to be Chihuahua/terrier mixes. How such young, tiny babies could end up on a busy street in the middle of the city, who knows? But they are safe with us now and are looking to find a forever home that will keep them safe. Meet Tom and Jerry: https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/32151846/

Bessie: Left at our gate with her eight puppies, this sweet girl is the best. She is about 8 years old or so, looks to have had lots of puppies in her lifetime and just wants a quiet place to call home. She seems to be house trained and crate trained, well-behaved with a loyal demeanor, she loves to play, also loves to snuggle, and never stops wagging her tail. Bessie has the sweetest personality and would make the best new family member — we hope she can find that soon, because she deserves it. Meet Bessie: https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/31899945/
