We are committed to making Fort Worth a great place to live, work and play for all of its residents by providin

g care and finding forever homes for the homeless pets in the community. We strive to create awareness about and improve people's perception about shelter pets. We also want to prevent unwanted and abandoned pets by educating the public about the benefits of spaying and neutering pets and about responsible pet ownership. Our ambassador dog Henry, the black lab you'll see featured in some of our photos, is an alumnus of our shelter. He and his feline sister Scout serve as spokepets for their furry friends in our care, and they help us get the word out through community event appearances.

Huge thanks to the amazing Fort Worth team for spending the day volunteering at our North Animal Campus! 🐾

They helped prepare adoption packets, filled foster food bags 🛍️, tackled laundry 🧺, and even prepped syringes for our medical team 💉. Your kindness truly makes a difference in the lives of shelter animals.

Attention pet lovers! 🚨
Dozens of animals have been added to our shelter’s Placement List, and they need to be adopted or fostered immediately. These animals are critically ill, some needing medical care, while others are mothers with newborn litters. But many are on this list simply because they've been waiting for a home for too long.

Our shelter refuses to turn away any animals, but we are overwhelmed. We’re doing everything we can to help them, but we can’t do it alone. This is where we're asking the COMMUNITY to step in. 🐾

Here are just a few of the animals who need help. If you're able to foster, adopt, or even share this post, you could help give these animals a happier life.

❄️ Freezing temps are here! Keep your pets safe this week with these 5 tips:

Shorten outdoor time – Limit walks and playtime to prevent frostbite or hypothermia. 🐕🌿

Protect paws – Use booties or check for ice and debris after walks. Apply paw balm for extra protection! 🧦

Cozy resting spots – Provide warm, dry beds indoors or insulated shelter outdoors. 🏡

Keep hydrated – Make sure their water bowl doesn’t freeze and check it regularly. 💧

Healthy diet – Increase portions slightly to meet energy needs in the cold. 🦴

Stay warm and safe, furry friends! 🐕❄️

We’re looking for temporary foster families to give them a cozy spot for about two weeks. 🏠 Think of it as their pre-road trip vacation! 🌴

📣🐩PUP-DATE!

We've got mail 📩 and it's great news from Noodle the Poodle! He left on back in August and is thriving with his family in the Pacific Northwest! He goes by Nile now and although he's not fond of the rain, he loves outdoor adventures, including trips to the coast. His new family says Nile is spoiled rotten and sleeps in the bed with his hoomans. 😇💤

It warms our heart to hear that he's healthy, happy, learning new tricks, and getting more comfortable with grooming. 💘💅

A big thank you to Nile's foster family in Fort Worth for giving him the loving start he needed!

It's Foster Friday! 🎉💕 These sweet pups are one step closer to finding loving families.

So, how can you be part of their journey? It's simple! To qualify for transport, these little cuties just need to spend at least 2 weeks in a home. 🚌 Fostering is a wonderful way to experience the joy of a pet, without the LONG-term commitment. We'll provide you with everything you need—food and toys! 🐾

And, after just two weeks of cuddles and playtime, these pups will be ready to board a transport bus on their way to their forever homes. HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!

Help us be the change we want to see in Fort Worth. 💕 Sign up to foster with us at FWACC today!

**sensitive photo warning**

This is Jay, the sweet Great Pyrenees who came to FWACC before Thanksgiving after an injury to his foot.

Our staff quickly connected with the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society, which helped find a loving foster home for Jay. He received LOTS of care 💞 and attention through his amputation and recovery.

Fast-forward to TODAY ⏭, Jay is now thriving and full of love! This gentle giant is finally ready for his forever home and is up for adoption.

If you're looking for a loyal, sweet companion, Jay is your guy! 🐶

⚠️ Beware of SCAM calls regarding lost pets! 🐶🚨

FWACC recently became aware of a potential targeting pet owners. A family received a call from someone claiming to be from our Silcox Animal Center, stating their missing dog needed expensive surgery and demanding **upfront payment**.

The caller refused to provide important details, such as the pet's microchip number, raising suspicions.
Remember, the city will NEVER ask for payment upfront for surgery on an owned animal—if you receive a similar call, please report it immediately! 📞

How critical is ? 🤔🏡

Very.
Every time you foster just ONE animal, you're saving up to 3 lives! 🐾❤️

Opening up your home just *temporarily makes a huge DIFFERENCE in the life of shelter animals:

✅Helps reduce overcrowding.
✅Provides individual care & attention.
✅Socializes a sweet pup/kitty.
🚌Makes a pet ELIGIBLE for transport to a rescue. (By fostering for just 2 weeks!)

It's easy to feel concerned about the overcrowding in city animal shelters, but by an animal, you can make a meaningful difference and help save lives.

Meet Papa & Bella: 🐕🏡

At almost 8 years old, Papa and Bella have been through a lot, but they still have so much love to give! After the loss of their previous owner, they're on the hunt for a new family who will cherish them. ❤️

FUN FACTS:

- Papa is a social butterfly 🦋☺️, friendly with all dogs, while Bella prefers male dogs.
- Both are incredibly gentle and kid-friendly, making them great for families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
- They're not fans of cats, but their adaptability makes them easygoing companions.

🔹 Adopting senior pets offers warmth and companionship to a home.
🔹 Papa & Bella offer the unique charm of experienced pets who are already housebroken and crate trained!
🔹 These adorable pups have been in foster care at FWACC since May 2023!

Help us spread the word to help find these adorable senior pets a new forever family!
