Supporting Animal Shelters in the Aftermath of Texas Floods: How You Can Help

Last weekend, a heavy rain downpour in Houston, Texas, and East Texas led to devastating flood conditions, leaving hundreds of people stranded and three people dead. Rescue efforts have now ended, and residents are returning home. However, as Texas shifts from response to recovery, animal shelters are in need of help.

BARC, a shelter in critical capacity due to the floods, is urgently seeking fosters, adopters, and donations to support the influx of animals. The Houston Humane Society, which hosted a disaster relief drive providing free pet supplies and meals to affected families, also offers flood disaster relief tips. The Houston SPCA, known for its disaster response efforts, brought supplies to shelters for evacuees with pets and is in need of financial support to continue their life-saving services.

As the community comes together to recover from the recent floods, supporting these organizations can make a significant impact on helping animals in need.
