Fur Friday: National Adoption Week brings hundreds of pets to North Texas communities

Summary by The Fort Worth Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Cassie Davidson, Fort Worth Report · July 23, 2026 · 3 min read

Editor’s note: A featured pet may be adopted by the time you inquire, but many more are always waiting to meet you through the Humane Society of North Texas. This week, there are even more opportunities to find your next fur friend as the Humane Society of North Texas joins PetSmart Charities Nation

Why this matters in The Fort Worth

The Humane Society of North Texas's participation in PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week brings a welcome opportunity for Fort Worth residents to find new companions. With adoption events at multiple PetSmart locations across the metroplex, including Montgomery Plaza and Lake Worth, it's easier than ever for families to meet pets like Otis and Colt. The initiative also highlights the crucial work of local animal welfare organizations in finding forever homes for hundreds of pets in need. As the city's population grows, so does the demand for services like those provided by the Humane Society of North Texas. By adopting from local shelters, residents not only gain a loyal companion but also help create space for another pet in need. With the organization's Fort Worth and Keller locations offering adoptions and resources, there are plenty of ways for the community to get involved and make a difference in the lives of these animals.
