These Dogs May Be Euthanized if Fort Worth Shelter Can't Find Foster Homes

The Fort Worth Animal Care and Control is still looking for 100 foster families for dogs this holiday season.

The goal is to find fosters for the medium and large dogs because they can't use outdoor runs at the animal shelter to house the animals during the cold snap coming this week.

"We still need more than 100 more pets to leave our building," Fort Worth Animal Control posted on social media. Friday, the shelter posted it needed a two-week commitment to "help us avoid tough decisions regarding euthanasia."

Fosters are needed at the Chuck and Brenda Silcox Animal Care & Control Center.

If you're interested in ensuring a medium or large dog has a happy, healthy and warm home for the holidays, email FWACCFOSTER@fortworthtexas.gov with the subject "Home for the Pawlidays" to be matched.

You can also visit in person, the Chuck and Brenda Silcox Animal Care & Control Center is located at 4900 Martin Street in Fort Worth.
