Houston Heights Pets Up For Adoption: Bevo, Oso, Gaia & More

Want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in Texas — many of whom are located not too far from you. In the search for a new family pet, consider starting at a local animal shelter like Friends For Life Animal Shelter And Sanctuary, where Pantum the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, you might like Bevo, a Chow Chow up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
