Texas continues to face a heartbreaking crisis as thousands of dogs roam the streets or are in overcrowded shelters. Please adopt or foster one of these babies. 

The stray population in the Lone Star State continues to rise because pets are not being spayed or neutered, are being abandoned, or are caught in a natural disaster and displaced.

Because of this, many shelters struggle with limited resources which unfortunately has led to high euthanasia rates. Here's how you can help.

Adopt Or Foster From Urgent List

Because of the influx of animals that All Kind Animal receives regularly, many pets are put on this list based on several criteria including medical conditions, declining in the kennel, or just simply space. It's a sad realization that these animals will not end up in a loving home.

Each week, we feature several pets that are on the Urgent List at All Kind Animal Initiative. Some of these babies have been on the list for several weeks while some are making an appearance for the first time. Each has one thing in common, and that is the desire to be loved and cared for by you.

This Week's Urgent List

Take a look at this week's Urgent Pet list and if you feel compelled to help one of these animals by adopting or fostering, please reach out to All Kind Animal Initiative either on their website or Facebook page.

You can also visit The PARC to see these loving animals up close and personal.
