While warming centers opened their doors for Houston residents with the start of the freezing weather last Thursday, some also catered to the furry friend populations in the area.
According to the Houston Health Department’s registration data, 56 animals sheltered at these centers, with 47 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, and the rest dispersed between the other three centers. “I was actually one of the first people who went and volunteered time there,” said Lisa Tyman, Marketing and Special Events Specialist with Houston PetSet. “We just checked in with pet owners, made sure they had everything they needed, and if they had questions about safety or care of pets, we were able to answer them and provide resources.”
The Humane Society added 50 additional crates, as well as leftover blankets and toys they had from donations at their shelter.Photo by Angelina Saucedo Inclement weather is weather that is defined as temperatures under 32 degrees, and with the weather in the teens last week, it was illegal to keep pets outside, said Saucedo.
Outside of providing donated materials to BARC’s shelters at the George R. Brown Convention center, the Humane Society helped the members of their Pet Pantry Program.
