Animal Shelter in Need of Support By Nelda Briones Los Fresnos News

The Humane Society of Harlingen is always in need of support and recently they had reached shelter capacity. They are asking the community to consider adopting or fostering a pet. Sometimes adoption fees could be waived and fostering a pet comes at no cost. If you foster a pet all items needed to care for them are included. It really helps out the shelter even if you just foster. From a very young foster pets that need constant care to older pets that may need a loving temporary home. Some shelter pets get very stressed from
the noisy shelter environment and need that extra loving care that they might not receive otherwise. The Humane Society will be having some upcoming events and hope some pets could be adopted. On Saturday October 30th the shelter will be at the City of Harlingen’s Halloween in the park, which is a free city sponsored event that takes place from 5-8 p.m. The shelter will be there with some pups that will be available for adoption and will be giving out treats for your pets. The shelter was also invited by Harlingen Fan Convention to be in attendance to their Premier on November 6 &
7. They will have a puppy room set up for both days of the event. You will be able to adopt a pet for Free. Also, if you bring in a bag of food for either cats or dogs you will get 15% off your tickets. The Humane Society has events going on all year long to help pets get adopted. They also need items all year long to keep the shelter running. Some of the items on their wish list are: PET CARE SUPPLIES: Kitten/Puppy Bottles, Kitten/Puppy Formula, Kitten/Puppy Wet Food, Adult Dog Wet Food, Adult Cat Wet Food (Pate), Kitten/Puppy Dry Food, Adult Dog Dry Food, Adult Cat Wet Food, Bowls,
