Q. What is your favorite part about working for Texas Humane Heroes? A. My favorite part is seeing all the dogs and cats get adopted and find homes. Seeing new families come and look at all the dogs and cats we have and falling in love with an animal and taking it home.
Q. What do you hope people learn from volunteering? A. I hope they learn the amount of work that goes into running a shelter and taking care of animals and that they continue to expand their love for dogs and cats while they’re here.
Q. What’s something you want people to understand about pet homelessness or the organization? A. The organization is always looking for volunteers and donations to operate. We don’t get any public funding. The more people that can volunteer is wonderful. People need to understand they need to have animals spayed and neutered to control pet homelessness. …[Adopting an animal] is a time-consuming process. We’ve had instances where individuals have adopted and returned dogs because they didn’t spend the time they needed to with them, and the dogs became aggressive and dangerous.
