Benefits of Adoption - Why Adopt?
When you adopt from HHS you are:
- Opening up your home to a homeless pet that is ready to give a lifetime of unconditional love and affection!
- Helping counter the pet overpopulation crisis that leaves millions of animals without homes and proper care each year.
- Helping to support the thousands of animals cared for by HHS each year.
- Choosing NOT to support the cruel and inhumane practices of puppy mills and other breeders whose first consideration is money, not the well-being of the animals they continue to help overpopulate.
- Supporting the dedication and hard work of our RAIDER Investigation Team, made up of Harris County Precinct 6 Officers that work nonstop to rescue animals from cruel and neglectful situations. Click here to find out more about our RAIDER program.
