Hundreds of pets have lost their homes as a result of the April 17 fertilizer plant explosion in West Texas. Operation Kindness in Carrollton, the largest no-kill shelter in North Texas, is working with the Humane Society of Central Texas?in Waco, to find them forever homes.
The best way to help is by fostering or adopting some of the beautiful dogs and cats at Operation Kindness like Bobby Ewing (a?lab/Great Pyrenees mix)?or Felicia (a domestic shorthair mix) which will open up space for the pets that are being moved from West to the Waco City Shelter and from the Waco City Shelter to Carrollton. Operation Kindness cares for an average of 300 animals at the shelter daily, with more than 100 in foster homes.
If you?re thinking of adopting, Operation Kindness is offering $25 off fees through April 30 for those who sign a pledge against cruelty to animals as our?Joy Tipping has reported; ?in addition to going to the shelter itself at 3201 Earhart Drive, Carrollton (972-418-PAWS), there?s also a Saturday adoption event from 11 am. to 3 p.m. at FETCH! at Ebby Halliday Realtors, 5999 Northwest Holiday at Preston Road, Dallas.
If your home is too full but there?s still room in your heart, money or gift cards are appreciate for Operation Kindness or to the Humane Society of Central Texas (call 254-754-1454 and?be careful to make sure your donations are going to the right place and not to fraudulent sites masquerading as charities).
Here are some of the beauties looking for their forever homes:
Oliver & Olivia (Olivia is in the pink collar) are from the Waco shelter. Olivia is 1 year old and weighs 5.7 lbs. Oliver is 2 years old and weighs 4.3 pounds. They are Chihuahua/Affenpinscher mix.
Bobby Ewing is a year-old lab/Great Pyrenees mix who was found as a stray in January. He is just over a year old and weighs 60 pounds. He is good with kids and has lots of energy. He would love a good home with a big yard. (He promises not to drill for oil in the yard, too).
Felicia is a two-and-a-half year old domestic, shorthair mix with beautiful markings and hypnotic eyes who was abandoned at?Operation?Kindness?with a kitty friend. They were left outside the shelter in a box all night, so they were frightened and nervous when they arrived, but they?ve come a long way since then.??She is a quiet, sweet lap cat who would be ideal for single adults and couples without children.
Buck, Rosie, Benjamin, Sammy and UB?are 2-month-old?Chihuahua mix puppies. They?just came back to the shelter from foster care and are ready for their forever homes.
Orco is a 10-month-old domestic, shorthair mix with a loving and affectionate disposition. ?Orco was found as a stray and taken in by a kind citizen. Arrangements were made and he was brought to?Operation?Kindness?for a fresh start. Orco is a fun, playful kitten who loves everyone: kids, adults, other cats ? he?s even good with dogs.
