we’re working together to save lives.
This year was a very successful year for our new Adoption
Ambassador Program! We’ve more than tripled the number
of adoptions from foster from 2017.
The Adoption Ambassador Program began in July of
2017 and has proven to help animals that struggle with
being adopted out of shelters. The Adoption Ambassador
program benefits both the adopters and the animals, by
helping the adopters learn more about their future pets
before adopting them and helping the animals put their
best foot forward.

Foster Spotlight: Carl
When Carl came to the SPCA of Texas he was underweight, had severe
periodontal disease and was drinking and urinating excessively. Tests showed
he had several severe abnormalities, including diabetes. Because he would
require medical care for the rest of his life, he was placed in Fospice, a foster
hospice program.
Despite his age and physical problems, Carl was a social, playful and happy
cat. He ate like a champ, played with toys, enjoyed naps and most of all he
just wanted to be loved on. Fortunately, we found Carl’s foster mom Liz. She
stepped up and monitored Carl’s blood glucose every day and kept detailed
records of his condition. Carl gained weight and he is now living like a king!
Without Carl’s mom, Liz, none of this would have been possible. We are
grateful for all of our foster parents who welcome animals from the SPCA
of Texas into their homes. They provide animals with a comfortable, loving
home while opening up space for more animals at our shelters.
The more animals fostered, the more lives saved!
