More than 50 adoptable Houston-area rescue dogs and puppies will
be
transported to find new homes in Minnesota
HOUSTON, July 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston PetSet, a local
nonprofit organization working to end Houston's homeless animal crisis, is
coordinating with The Babinski Foundation, a shelter and nonprofit
located in Pequot Lakes, MN on the
evening of Wednesday, July 17 to
deliver much needed supplies to local animal shelters in desperate
need of essentials. In addition, the foundation will take more than
50 rescue dogs back to their shelter in MN to provide relief to
rescue groups who are bearing the brunt of the animal homelessness
crisis in Houston.
In the aftermath of Beryl, area shelters are struggling to meet
the needs of the thousands of additional pets under their care.
Many facilities sustained extensive damage and lost vital supplies
to the storm. As thousands of pet owners and foster families are
still without power, they are forced to bring their pets back into
the care of shelters and rescue groups who have been operating
without additional kennel space for months.
The rescue unit from MN will deliver essential supplies: dog and
cat food, cat litter, water, medication and bedding to local
shelters in need, with distribution coordinated by Houston PetSet.
Media and local leaders are invited to attend.
Donations are welcome and will go directly to the shelters and
animals impacted by the storm. They can be made at
