CENTRAL TEXAS ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY

From floodwaters in Central Texas to forever homes — Katy and Karter’s journey is one of resilience, hope, and love.

These two were among more than 100 pets that the Humane Society of North Texas welcomed into our adoption program after devastating floods struck Central Texas. From sitting in a shelter with an uncertain future, to being flown by Wings of Rescue to North Texas, to finding one another again at an HSNT adoption event at PetSmart — their story came full circle when they were adopted together.

Their adopters shared:

“We’re adapting to having them in our laps all day and our bed at night. This is new territory for us, but we’re really enjoying their cuddly and affectionate natures. We’ve been lucky with all our dogs over the years, but these two have slid right into our routines. With doggie door training only taking a couple of days, there have been very few accidents. They are both so happy to be here!

Katy was a little reserved at first, but she came around within the first week—offering kisses and cuddles as soon as she felt safe. We love how bonded they are to each other and have had zero issues with separation anxiety. Overall, it has blessed us immensely, filling the holes left by losing our previous pets so close to each other.”

From surviving the flood to being flooded with love, Katy and Karter remind us that every act of rescue changes two lives — theirs and yours. 

Adopt. Foster. Support.

Because every pet deserves a home.
