EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — It’s Mutt Monday at KTSM!
The holidays are here, and if the season is looking a little quiet for you this year, El Paso Animal Services suggests fostering, as it’s a great way to invite a companion into your home. They say taking a pet out of the cold shelter, even if just for a short while, can be very beneficial to their lives.
Here are some ways El Paso Animal Services says fostering can help a pet:
Many shelter pets do not know how to live in a home properly, and fostering helps them learn.
A pet who’s gone on foster can increase their likelihood of being adopted, since they may become house-trained and learn boundaries.
You can choose to foster for a minimum of 4 weeks, or extend your contract as you’d like!
Most supplies are provided by us! As supplies last, we will hand them out to our fosters.
It’s completely free! All that’s needed is a valid photo ID, to be 18 years of age or older, and to live within El Paso!
Animal Services and KTSM are ready to help you find your perfect match.
