At Harris County Pets, BARC and other shelters across the city "moving" is a common reason that people surrender their pets. The cost of pet deposits, breed restrictions and the availability of affordable housing play a role. For some families, moving means they are moving in with relatives due to a financial hardship. Give grace to people who are giving up their pets when they move. And help them rehome their pets by offering to foster for rescue. Give help, not hate.
