CANYON LAKE, Texas — It's going to be cold here in our area starting Thursday and at least two local shelters are asking for some temporary fosters so their dogs aren't left out in the cold over the holidays.
Canyon Lake Animal Shelter Society (CLASS) is looking for temporary fosters immediately through the beginning of January for 10 to 15 dogs.
Their plan is to move as many dogs as they can inside where it's warmer, but they just don't have enough room for all of them.
CLASS will provide the food, toys, crate, collar, leash any medical care necessary and all the support you need. You just provide the warm home and some love!
There is absolutely no long-term commitment necessary, and you will quite possibly be saving a life in the process. If you are interested in helping out, please email the shelter at canyonlakeanimalshelter@gmail.com.
San Antonio's God’s Dogs Rescue also faces a critical need of temporary fosters to help keep their dogs warm and comfortable during this cold snap.
The shelter has a massive influx of dogs—more than 600, which is more than double their capacity of 300 dogs. That has caused limited indoor space and resulted in the use of mostly outdoor kennels.
Fosters can choose between adult dogs and puppies and will only need to house them until temperatures warm back up.
In addition, should you help out a pup, God’s Dogs Rescue will supply fosters with every essential to make sure the pup has a warm home. If you want to help out local pups and give them a warm spot during the freeze, you can apply here.
