There are so many ways you can make a difference for our furry friends:
- Open your heart and adopt 🐶
- Donate much-needed supplies 🐱
- Volunteer to help at local shelters 🐾
- Offer a temporary home through fostering 🏠
- Microchip & register your pets 📋
- Advocate for pet population control 🐾
Let’s make this 10th anniversary our biggest success yet! Show your support for the SPCA East Texas and local shelters by adopting, donating, and spreading the word.
