🚨 Bella is At-Risk: Deadline is Friday, August 7th, at 5 PM. 🚨
The Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area is in a space crisis, and we once again need our community’s help to save four dogs who are ready for loving homes today.
Our kennels have been full for months. We have moved dogs into foster homes, hosted waived-fee adoption events, shared them across social media, local newspapers, television, and radio, and introduced them to the community through Doggy Day Out and local events.
Our staff and volunteers are working hard every day to care for the overwhelming number of pets entering our shelter, but we cannot solve this crisis alone. Every regular kennel is occupied, and pop-up cages now line our hallways, breakroom, and staff offices.
But we are part of a large and compassionate community with thousands of homes and more than 200,000 people who have the power to change the outcome for these four dogs and every pet who enters HSNBA. If just 20 more families opened their homes to foster, it would make a tremendous difference in our overcrowding crisis. We need more people to step up and open their homes to pets in need today.
Bella is one of those four dogs who needs your help now. Bella is the definition of well-mannered. She approaches everything with calm, steady confidence, walks beautifully on a leash, knows her basic commands, and keeps her kennel tidy, giving us the impression she may already be house trained. She even loves a little pampering and will patiently sit through baths and brushing.
In true Husky fashion, Bella has plenty to say, especially when squeaky toys are involved! She also loves head scratches and belly rubs. Bella does wonderfully in playgroups with dogs who match her energy and play style, and she is incredibly respectful of their space. She knows when it is time to play and when it is time to relax alongside her canine friends.
Bella is heartworm positive and needs a calm foster or adoptive home where she can safely begin treatment. HSNBA will cover the full cost of her care and support her family every step of the way. All Bella needs is a loving place to rest, recover, and enjoy the comfort she deserves.
By 5 PM on FRIDAY, August 7th, Bella needs one of the following:
- Adoption into a committed home
- Rescue placement
- Long-term foster placement
