This Thanksgiving, give a pet more than just a seat at the table—give them a home to rest, recover, and feel loved.

While you're carving turkey, this sweet soul is carving out a fresh start. We know life can get busy, especially around the holidays, but just imagine the gratitude of a pet who gets to enjoy the warmth of a home, a cozy bed, and your endless affection. No one would be more thankful.

No strings attached—just paws, snuggles, and all the love you can give. It's the perfect way to make sure your Thanksgiving is filled with good food... and even better company.

Ready to give a foster pet a taste of the good life? Let's make their holiday a little brighter—and yours, too.

Somebody take this SWEET BUTTERBALL home for the holidays! 💛

Betty Boop has been with us for over a year, and she’s ready to find her forever home—or at least a temporary home during the holidays! This sweet girl has a heart full of love and a personality that lights up any room. Her favorite activities include cuddling, giving kisses, and enjoying belly rubs. She has a special way of melting hearts with her gentle nature and soulful eyes.

But Betty needs YOUR help! At her current weight, she could really use some extra TLC to shed a few pounds. With a dedicated foster family, Betty Boop can go on daily walks, play interactive games, and explore a whole new world outside the shelter. A loving foster home will not only help her lose the weight she needs but will also provide the comfort, affection, and attention she deserves.

For more information about fostering Betty Boop visit here,

Holiday Season Tips For Pets + Wildlife

This season is all about giving, and there are so many ways we can show kindness to the animals who rely on us. Whether you’re cuddling with your pet or appreciating the beauty of wildlife, let’s remember to share our abundance with the world around us. 🐾

Here are a couple of ways you can help our animal friends this Giving season:

Avoid Holiday Foods for Pets: While plain, cooked turkey is fine in small amounts, skip the skin, bones, and seasoning—poultry bones can be dangerous to pets!

Protecting Wildlife Homes: As we decorate, let’s also remember wildlife needs safe spaces. Consider leaving some natural habitat intact in your backyard to help animals thrive. Be mindful when cutting down Christmas trees for your home, as these can house wildlife.

Let’s spread kindness to all animals this season!

Benito’s Second Chance at Life ❤️‍🩹

When Benito was brought to the Houston Humane Society, his story broke our hearts. He was found tied up and abandoned outside our shelter, in shocking condition. His ribs were visible, and he had lost 85% of his fur, with only small patches of hair remaining on his legs and head.

Our veterinary team sprang into action to save him. Benito was diagnosed with a severe skin infection. He received antibiotics and regular medical baths by the medical staff to soothe his inflamed skin and encourage his fur to grow back. These baths not only treated his physical condition but brought him visible relief. Each time he was wrapped in a towel afterward, Benito would roll around playfully, as if to say, “Thank you for helping me feel better!” ❤️

With consistent care, Benito’s health improved dramatically. His fur began to grow back, and his once dull, tired eyes were now bright with hope. The shy, reserved dog we first met transformed into a strong, playful, and loving companion.

None of this would have been possible without the care and dedication of our veterinary team—and the donations that make this lifesaving work possible. Your generosity ensures pets like Benito receive the medication, treatments, and supplies they need to heal and thrive. ⭐

200 Days of Waiting, Forever Loved at Last! ❤️

Moses came to us as part of a heartbreaking animal cruelty case in Cleveland, rescued alongside other dogs through the incredible efforts of Sam Houston - Precinct 3 Constables Office-San Jacinto County . He endured months of uncertainty, spending over 200 days at the shelter waiting for his chance at a new beginning.

As time went on, Moses began showing signs of stress from shelter life. To help him relax and meet new people, our adoption counselors started taking him to events, hoping someone would see beyond his past and fall in love with the sweet, loyal dog he truly is.

At one of these events, Moses met a kind woman who felt an instant connection with him. She admired his gentle spirit but hesitated, unsure if the timing was right. As she walked away, her heart wouldn’t let her leave him behind. Following her gut, she turned around and made a decision that changed both of their lives forever.

Moses finally got what he had been waiting for—a loving home and a family who sees him as the incredible dog he is. His new mom tells us that Moses has brought so much joy and love into her life, and not only did she change his life, but he has also changed hers in ways she never imagined.

Help us create more Happy Tails like Moses’ by adopting, fostering, or supporting our mission. You can donate to our Giving Tuesday campaign here:

Every animal deserves their moment to shine—just like Moses.
