Editor’s note: A featured pet may be adopted by the time you inquire, but many more are always waiting to meet you through the Humane Society of North Texas.
July is in full swing, filled with backyard barbecues, family vacations and long evenings spent outdoors. While many people think of the holidays as the perfect time to adopt, summer offers its own advantages. Longer days provide extra time for training, play and helping a new companion settle into a routine.
At the Humane Society of North Texas, adoption is about changing lives, one match at a time. Learn more about adoptions at HSNT’s Fort Worth and Keller locations, or at off-site adoption events held six days a week at HSNT.org.
This week’s featured pets are proof that summer can be even warmer and fuzzier with new friends.
Sandy, a 2-month-old mixed-breed puppy, believes every day is the best day. Friendly, cheerful and always ready to explore, she has a contagious enthusiasm for everything she does. From discovering a new patch of grass to greeting every person like an old friend, Sandy finds joy in life’s simplest moments. She is eager to learn, ready for adventure, and looking for a family who will help her grow into the incredible companion she’s meant to be.
Quesadilla, a nearly 3-month-old domestic shorthair kitten, is equal parts curiosity and confidence. Nothing escapes his attention for long. Whether he’s investigating a new toy, chasing imaginary opponents or climbing to the highest perch he can find, Quesadilla approaches every day like an unfolding adventure. His playful spirit is matched by a warm, affectionate personality that makes everyone who meets him fall in love.
Sandy and Quesadilla are just two of the many pets waiting to begin their next chapter. Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten to keep you laughing or a puppy to grow alongside your family, there’s never been a better time to stop by and meet your new best friend.
