Mega-adoption event in Arlington hopes to find forever homes for 1,500 pets
The event held at Globe Life Field in Arlington was hosted by the Humane Society of North Texas, which invited shelters to join their mission of finding forever homes for adoptable animals.
“When you work in animal welfare, you do stay connected. The goal of any shelter in the South is to move animals because we are at a crisis capacity right now. So, we unite. We connect. We talk to each other,” Cassie Davidson with the Humane Society of North Texas. “When this was all coming together, our directors just invited as many people as we could from as many states as we could. Anybody who wanted to participate, it was open to.”Lifeline Animal Project is based in Atlanta.
“We are caring for over 1,000 animals in our community that are in need of homes. So, we love to be able to partner with other places, other organizations, to give our pets more opportunities that they don’t find right at home,” Solomon said. The problem of overcrowding has been impacting shelters for months. It is primarily due to animals not being spayed or neutered, Davidson said.
