No-Kill shelter in Dickinson trying to get every dog, cat a home for the holidays

Dickinson animal shelter lowering adoption fees for the holidays

An animal shelter in Dickinson is lowering adoption fees in an effort to find homes for all the dogs and cats in the shelter. FOX 26's Randy Wallace explains.

DICKINSON, Texas - A "no-kill" shelter in Dickinson is trying to get every dog and cat a home for the holidays.

What they're saying:

"I always say the only thing wrong with a shelter dog is they don't have a home," said Nina Baker, Animal Services Director for Bayou Animal Services.

Baker wants to get every animal in the shelter a home for the holidays, even if it's a fostering or trial adoption process.

Through the month of December, all adoption fees are just $20 dollars for all dogs and cats. They are fully vetted, spayed, and neutered and come with heartworm medication, if they are heartworm positive.

It's a great time to try an animal out to see how that pet responds to other pets in the house and your routine.

Clearing the shelter would also mean being home for the holidays for shelter employees.

What you can do:

There are many great dogs and cats to pick from.
