OPA Teams up with the ASPCA to ‘Find Your Fido!'

It’s here! We’re stoked to be partnering with the ASPCA® for the big #FindYourFido campaign. Find Your Fido is a fun and engaging strategy to promote dog adoptions through October, Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Fido, pictured above, is the face of the campaign and represents every dog who is waiting to find a loving home in shelters and rescues across the country.

We’ve got lots of exciting things lined up, and we’ll be asking you to help us create a buzz across social media to highlight the awesomeness of adopting shelter and rescue pups! AND, if you’re looking to adopt, we can help YOU ‘Find YOUR Fido’!

Best Friends Animal Society’s Strut Your Mutt is an annual charity event in which animal lovers all over the nation get together to raise money for homeless animals. Each rescue group spends approximately 4 months fundraising, with the event culminating in fun dog walks in major cities across the country. Houston’s dog walking event took place the morning of October 14, 2017 at Stude Park. The event wasn’t your average dog walk. It was all about saving the lives of homeless pets across our nation. There were exhibitors, field day activities, kid crafts, food vendors, raffles with great prizes and much, much more! Help us end the month on a high note by reaching our fundraising goal!

OPA Impacts Lives of over 2,600 Homeless Pets in 2016

Because of your support, Operation Pets Alive bettered the lives for over 2,600 homeless pets in 2016. Take a look at our breakdowns. OPA rescued a total of 1,765 dogs and 899 cats from our County Shelters and our Community for a total of 2,664 pets. During 2016 OPA transferred 1,062 dogs and 236 cats to partnering shelters and rescues in the Northeast and in Colorado via our ‘Pups On Trucks’ and ‘Flight For Life’  Programs ~ areas of the country where there is a greater demand for adoptable pets and a 99.9% save rate amongst those transferred. OPA had a great year for local adoptions with 548 dogs and 459 cats finding forever homes within our Community!

An awesome job by volunteers, fosters, partners and our supporters! Donations make the difference in how many lives we can save, and OPA is so grateful to all those who gave to better the lives of homeless dogs and cats in our Community.
