Pandemic Relief for pets
BARC, the City of Houston's Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, is excited to offer a series of community events this December to provide pet food, supplies, and health care for Houston pet parents that have been impacted by COVID-19. In partnership with Best Friends Animal Society, Rescued Pets Movement (RPM), Houston Pet Set, and Emancipet, BARC will provide over $550,000 in COVID-related, community pet support throughout the holidays.
“During this time of need it is important not to forget about our four-legged friends, said Mayor Turner. “We are happy that we can provide services and supplies for Houston pet parents that have been impacted by COVID-19. We will continue to work with local animal rescue and wellness partners to keep families and their pets together during this difficult time.”
All events are open to all City of Houston residents affected by the pandemic. To support social distancing, all spay/neuter and wellness events are by appointment only.
