Editor’s note: The featured pets may be adopted by the time you reach out, but there are always many more waiting to meet you through the Humane Society of North Texas.
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.
It’s the first week of February, and whether you’re cheering for the big game or celebrating Valentine’s Day early, there’s no better time to bring a little extra love and a lap buddy into your life. At the Humane Society of North Texas, we’ve got two adorable pets ready to make every play, every cuddle and every quiet moment feel like a touchdown.
Looking for a loyal, loving companion who will happily be your favorite couch-side spectator? Meet Teddy, a 1-year-old dachshund mix with all the charm you could want in a game-day buddy. Teddy loves nothing more than curling up beside you, especially during halftime snacks or slow Sunday mornings. His affectionate nature and pint-sized personality make him a perfect partner for snuggles, strolls and affectionate moments big and small.
If your ideal companion purrs through every quarter and lights up your heart like a winning score, Torch might just be your perfect match. This 2-month-old tabby kitten is curious, playful and already a natural at turning every moment into fun. Torch loves chasing toys, curling into laps and bringing little bursts of kitten energy that make even ordinary days feel special. Whether you’re watching the Puppy Bowl, the playoffs or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Torch is ready to be your favorite fan.
This season, make your home feel complete with a pet who’s as devoted to you as you are to game-day traditions and Valentine’s Day celebrations. Whether you’re cheering from the couch, unwinding after a long week, or looking for someone to share your heart with, Teddy and Torch could be the perfect addition to your team.
