The student-led FYI organization is part of Fort Worth Sister Cities International. It promotes global awareness among Fort Worth-area students during social events and informational meetings throughout the school year. Sadly, most of these animals are healthy, good-natured and perfectly adoptable. From October 1999 to August 2000, the Fort Worth Animal Care and Control Center took in more than 18,000 animals. There's not a better way to save a life and find your new best friend at the same time than by adopting a pet from an animal shelter.
Shelters always have a wide variety of dogs and cats to choose from.
There, you will be sure to find both mixed and pure breed dogs and cats of different ages, sizes and dispositions to match your personality and lifestyle. Adopt a Shelter Pet month is also a time when Fort Worth Animal Care and Control advocates responsible pet ownership. Although providing adequate food, shelter and water is extremely important, being a responsible pet owner also means adopting an animal for the right reasons. The decision to adopt a pet must be thoroughly considered. Citizens are encouraged to use the hotline to assist city staff in providing quality services at reasonable costs.
