Overview
- The organization is asking residents to place 75 dogs in short-term foster homes to protect them during the expected freeze in Central Texas.
- Potential fosters can visit the Town Lake Animal Center at 1156 W. Cesar Chavez St. from noon to 6 p.m. through Friday to pick up a dog.
- Foster care is requested through Wednesday, Jan. 28 to cover the coldest stretch of weather.
- The Town Lake facility has upgraded heating, generators and wind barriers, with blankets and jackets for dogs, though easing crowding remains a priority.
- Donations of medium to extra-large crates, baby gates, long-lasting chews and toys can be dropped off in front of Building C, and staff urge owners to knock on car hoods and limit outdoor time to prevent frostbite.
