As the Project Pawsible renovation continues at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, the organization is calling on the community to adopt or foster animals to help ease pressure on the shelter. Dogs are currently among the greatest placement needs because most are housed on-site.
The construction project is improving animal living spaces and enriching their environment, as well as enhancing adoption areas and creating more comfortable and visible spaces for the overall care and well-being of shelter pets. Because the project is ongoing, there is no set deadline for the community response; every adoption or foster placement helps create needed flexibility while the renovation continues.
Adoptions are available at the humane society’s Palm City location, both Stuart thrift stores Stuart, and partnering locations, including The Kitty Cup in Port St. Lucie.
Families looking for the most urgent adoption opportunities are encouraged to consider the humane society’s Promote-a-Pet program, featuring shelter animals that are experiencing fear, anxiety, or stress in the shelter environment and fare better in foster homes while they wait for permanent families. Adopting one of these pets opens a foster home for another animal in need. Adoption fees also are waived for the humane society’s Pets of the Month, a rotating group of featured animals selected to help them find homes more quickly.
Adoptable pets and real-time availability may be viewed at hstc1.org/adopt. Promote-a-Pet animals may be viewed at hstc1.org/PromoteAPet and Pets of the Month are listed at hstc1.org/PetsOfTheMonth. Short- and long-term fostering opportunities also are available. Learn more at hstc1.org/foster.
