Love is in the air for our larger-than-life friends at Harris County Pets (HCP) this Valentine’s Day. From Feb. 11-14, we are offering $14 adoption fees for all dogs over 40 pounds.
Adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, annual pet license and microchip.
“Larger dogs bring many benefits to adopters and their families” said Dr. Michael White, DVM, MS, director of Harris County Veterinary Public Health, which operates the Harris County Pets Resource Center. “They make loyal companions, are generally more trainable than puppies and can be great family pets. We encourage adopters to do their research to see what type of pet might be the best fit for their family, home and lifestyle.”
Donating to our Heal A Heart program offers those who may not be able to adopt an opportunity to help our larger dogs. The program provides free life-saving treatment to our heartworm positive dogs to increase their chances for adoption. It is funded by Friends of County Pets, the 501(c)3 fundraising organization of HCP. Donations to the Heal A Heart program can be made at www.friendsofcountypets.org/heal-a-heart.
We are currently operating by appointment for all services. Please call (281) 999-3191 to make an appointment. Harris County Pets is located at 612 Canino Road in Houston.
