Several Houston-area shelters are operating at critical capacities and are in urgent needs of homes for their furry charges.
This weekend, animal shelters and welfare organizations are waiving or reducing adoption fees as part of an area-wide initiative to help alleviate strained shelters. The adoption event runs April 30 through May 1 and coincides with the National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day on Saturday.
