Supplies Need for Facility - Everman, TX

March is Pet Responsibility Month and there are multiple dog shows all over the Metroplex of Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas.

But Everman Animal Shelter's puppy population is growing and so are its needs.

The agency is in need of black wire crates for pups so they can go to adoption events and the more they have, the more dogs can attend.

"The good news, for the puppies, is that they are usually the first to be adopted," says staff. "Puppy season has not even gotten into full swing and we are getting them in almost every day."

The shelter is located at 3961 Bluebell Street in Everman and the phone number is 817-561-5495.
