Mom and Pup
🎵Reunited, and it feels so good🎵
A few weeks ago, this Harris County resident visited @HarrisCountyPets to adopt a new pet. Earlier in the year, her previous pet from HCP had passed away after several happy years together. After a few months, she felt ready to welcome another furry family member into her home. 🐶
They found an adorable puppy that they fell in love with and took home. A few weeks later, they saw a video we posted about the often-overlooked pets at the shelter. She recognized one of the dogs in the video as the mother of her adopted puppy. She said she knew immediately she couldn't leave her new pup's momma behind. She came back to the shelter the next day and adopted her. 🏠
Every pet deserves a chance at a happy life, and when we get to witness locals stopping by the shelter to adopt, it makes a positive difference to those furry friends and our community. So please, stop by the shelter and be a hero today!

Mosquito Surge & Protecting Our Dogs
Hey, pet owners!
After the recent weather disaster, there is a high probability of a significant increase in mosquito activity. 🦟 Not only are they a nuisance, but can pose serious health risks to our furry friends.
Here are some tips to keep your dogs safe:
• Use Pet-Safe Mosquito Repellent: Look for repellents specifically formulated for pets to keep mosquitoes at bay without harming your dog.
• Remove Standing Water: Regularly check and empty any containers, buckets, or areas where water might collect. This helps reduce mosquito breeding grounds.
• Limit Outdoor Time: Try to keep your dogs indoors during peak mosquito hours, usually dawn and dusk.
• Screened Areas: Use screened porches or tents to create a mosquito-free zone for your pets to enjoy the outdoors safely.
• Check for Heartworm Prevention: Mosquitoes can transmit heartworm disease to dogs. Ensure your pet is on a veterinarian-recommended heartworm prevention medication.
Let's keep our beloved pets safe and healthy. 🐾
This is a reminder that cooling centers are open now if you and your pet need relief from the heat! Those operated by the county precincts are allowing crated pets.
Stay safe, and take care! 💪❤️
#PetSafety #MosquitoAlert #WeatherDisaster
Stay Cool Stay Safe
As thousands of pet owners experience warmer temperatures without electricity, this can pose a safety risk to your pets.
Here's how to keep them safe:
• Ensure unlimited access to fresh water and shade.
• Keep your pet free of parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
• Learn to recognize signs of heat stress from your vet.
• Never leave a pet in the car, even with windows cracked. Cars can overheat quickly.
• If it's hot for you, it's even hotter for your pet.
• Walk, hike, or run during cooler hours.
• Avoid hot surfaces that can burn paws.
There are several cooling and water distribution centers in Harris County. To find a location near you, visit bit.ly/3K7WNuF.
