This Is a Call for Innovators and Entrepreneurs to Help Us End Pet Homelessness
Mar 11, 2022 An estimated one million pets will be dying in shelters this year because they haven’t been adopted—or weren’t kept out of the shelter with safety net programs to support people and pets.

#AmplifyLifesaving for Pets Like Elton
Mar 01, 2022 Elton was born in Bastrop, Texas, and was brought to their shelter when he was just a baby.

Parvo is a canine life-threatening virus that rapidly infects the dividing cells in a dog’s body, most severely in the intestinal tract. The virus is highly contagious and resistant and can survive in the ground for up to a year. Many...
