Pasadena Area Animal Shelters Placing Pets In New Homes This Weekend

PASADENA, TX — If you're looking for a new pet to add to your family, then don't spend a lot of money at a breeder.

Consider instead finding your new friend at any one of the participating animal shelters in Pasadena and the surrounding area.

Animal shelters throughout the area are participating in the annual Clear the Shelters event on Saturday to find forever homes for dogs and cats nationwide.

In the Houston area alone, the number of stray cats and dogs is impossible to count with many of those animals lost or abandoned in rural areas of Harris County.

As a result, animal shelters in the Houston area will host pet adoption events in the Houston area.

Pet adoption centers in Houston participating in the Clear the Shelters event are:

• City of Pasadena@5150 Burke Road
• City of Deer Park @4213 Luella Ave
• Bayou Animal Services@3120 Deats Rd in Dickinson
• League City Pets Alive@821 N. Kansas Ave
• City of Friendwood Animal Control@3000 W. Parkwood Ave
• Alvin Animal Adoption Center@ 55 W. Hwy 6
• City of Baytown@705N. Robert Lanier Dr.
• La Porte Animal Control@1090 Spencer Hwy
• The Houston Humane Society @ 14700 Almeda Road, Houston
• BARC 3300 Carr St. Houston
• Houston SPCA @ 900 Portway Dr. Houston

Times for the Saturday event will vary per location.

If you’re interested in giving a forever home to a cat or dog, you can go to any of these locations or find another one near you on the Clear the Shelters webpage and use the interactive map.
