HOUSTO, TX — With Houston-area animal shelters reporting capacity issues and a downward trend in pet adoptions, fostering animals has become more important than ever, according to animal advocates.
Dakota Johnson from Rosenberg is helping to fight the problem. According to her mother, the 3-year-old is somewhat of a dog whisperer.
The Johnsons began fostering at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic with a rescue group that covers medical expenses and other costs for the animals. Foster families give their time and space.
Of the twelve dogs the Johnsons have fostered, all of them have been adopted. They hope their current foster dog, Maui, will soon be headed to a forever home.
