Meet 8-year-old German Shepherd Mix Wilma. She is on the euthanasia list tomorrow, Thursday 10/8 @ 1 PM CT. Sweet, friendly girl with a wagging tail who loves walks and attention. She just needs a loving home! Available for adoption in the US/Canada or local foster. BARC Houston, ID #A2098250.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, OR RESCUE

OUT OF STATE OR CANADIAN ADOPTION IS POSSIBLE - cost is typically around $600 USD (give or take). The fee includes transport, boarding, full medical, spay/neuter, and a health certificate.

We are a volunteer network dedicated to helping at-risk dogs. We are not affiliated with BARC. We connect at-risk animals at the BARC shelter with the adopters, fosters, and rescue organizations needed to save their lives. We can help coordinate out-of-state adoption through approved 501(c)3 rescues. Please send the OP a Chat invite or send moderator mail to r/findfostersfordogs (it's under the see-more tab for the group) for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

8 year old, Friendly, HW- Wilma is on the euthanasia list Thursday, 10/8. There will be no extensions per BARC.

Wilma must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or she will lose her life. We need pledges and a local foster for a rescue to help.

Please do not honor pledges until the post has been updated with rescue information and a freedom picture. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
