Why are foster homes needed?

Harris County Animal Control
Foster homes are needed to provide animals with the essential care they need until they are adoptable. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to give these animals the necessary treatment and training to turn them into pets. This is why we are in need of assistance from the public. With community involvement in programs like the “Runt Rescue” Team we can raise the adoption numbers and give these deserving pets a chance for survival.
