Rowlett shelter at 'code red'; city highlights adoptable dog and low-cost adoptions
Summary
Council member Reeves warned the animal shelter is at 'code red' with kennels full, urged fosters and noted a $25 adoption fee (includes spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations); staff encouraged residents to consider weekend fostering.
Council member Reeves used his council update to spotlight an adoptable dog named Jack and to warn the public that the animal shelter is at 'code red' because kennels are full. Reeves described Jack as a "lovable 5 year old who adores people" and said that adoptions are currently $25 and include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations to encourage placements.
Reeves also asked residents to consider short-term weekend fostering, saying a couple of days can help animals recharge and increase adoption prospects, and provided the shelter contact (4402 Industrial Street and phone (972) 412-6219). The council’s update emphasized immediate adoption and foster needs while the shelter remains over capacity.
