BEAUMONT, Texas — As the arctic blast works its way through southeast Texas, Beaumont Animal Care is seeking help.
The facility is pleading with the community to lend a helping hand, or in this case a warm home.
Adoption and Foster Marketing Coordinator for BAC, Vivianna Lopez, says that the facility is receiving anywhere from five to 25 animals a day.
With the oncoming freeze, Lopez says that they are looking for fosters who can keep some of our larger breed animals, to keep them warm this holiday weekend.
She believes that these actions by the community could save a life.
One father and son duo, came to the facility after seeing a Facebook post about BAC being at capacity.
Drew Fillips, says that once he seen the plea he decided to cease the opportunity to get a dog for his mother, who he takes care of.
"We are always looking at ways to help out in the community, so it all worked out," says Fillips.
Over the last two days, BAC has received an outpour of support from the community.
26 dogs have now found foster homes, but they still have dogs who would love a warm home for the holidays.
If you'd like to stop by the shelter and see our other available dogs for fostering, BAC is located at 1884 Pine Street, Beaumont, TX 77703.
Their hours will be from 10AM-11:30PM on Thursday, December 22, 2022 and then reopening from 1:30PM-5PM and then Friday from 10AM-5PM.
And for those of you that are unable to house your pets indoors, BAC is offering free bales of hay for you to keep your pets warm during the blast.
