Today strong laws protect children, and there are shelters for endangered women, but can we really say we know what's going on with people and their pets? As much as we love them, there are still a lot of animal abuse cases happening out there. The Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) is doing its best to ensure animals" legal, moral and ethical consideration and protection - just as we do with humans - starting from the beginning: adoption. Earlier this month, the HSNT opened up the Waggin" Tails Adoption Center in Benbrook.
Waggin" Tails is dedicated to finding good homes for animals in need. It is an adoption center meant to be a temporary house so that animals can feel more at home before finding a forever home. The center provides for animals that are abandoned, injured and mistreated.
When the animals we want to adopt are happier and healthier, we as adoptees are able to bond and connect easier with them instead of randomly selecting one. It's all about location, and no one wants to pick an animal based on its mobility in a small, overcrowded cage. Not only is the environment better, but potential parents for animals must undergo a screening before adoption can be finalized. They take great pride in making sure each animal finds the best home. The animals are given their first round of initial treatment against parasites, immunized against diseases and microchipped before going home.
Through the website, you can review the animals that are available and then follow on to the adoption process list of requirements. HSNT also provides foster homes for animals before being fully adopted. If you're interested in fostering a pet, there is also a link available to find more information. Although the center is now open, it is still in the process of getting up to speed. If you would like to help donate to the shelter, there are still plenty of things that need work.
