Texas dogs find refuge at Humane Society

BAGLEY DOWNS — The Humane Society for Southwest Washington helped take in animals impacted by winter storms in Texas as shelters there restore operations. On March 4, the local shelter received 19 dogs and a load of supplies donated by the community. Over nine days of collection, dog and cat food, litter, blankets, cleaning supplies and treats for the Texas animals lined the lobby of the Humane Society for Southwest Washington. The nonprofit organization Tall Tails Rescue & Transport brought the Texas-area dogs to the local Humane Society and is back on the road to distribute the donations among its other Texas partners. “Our community responded in such a generous way to help Texas shelters,” Megan Dennis, vice president and director of shelter operations, said in a news release. “We’re excited to see these dogs find new homes and are so grateful for the amazing community we have here.”
