š¾ They may not understand what North Texas Giving Day isā
but they understand what it means to be hungry, frightened, abandoned, and alone.
Every animal who enters the Tri-City Animal Shelter arrives with a story. Some have known love and lost it. Some have wiggled through a fence, found their way to the shelter, and later been happily reunited with their families.
Others are still waiting to discover the comfort of a gentle touch, a warm bed, and a family of their own.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift gives them more than food and shelter. It provides medical care, comfort, second chances, and hope.
It helps frightened animals learn to trust again and gives homeless pets the opportunity to find the fur-ever families they deserve. Whether they find their forever home here in the Tri-City area or are transported to another state, loving families are waiting to welcome them with open arms and open hearts.
They cannot ask for your helpābut we can ask for them.
Please give to Friends of Tri-City Animal Shelter this North Texas Giving Day. Your giftāno matter the sizeācan be the reason a scared shelter animalās story ends with the words:
āAnd then, I found my family.ā ā¤ļøš¾
