The shelter posted photos of some of the animals and explained each one of them needs a loving home to save their life. Volunteers said they are already at four times the shelter's capacity and are asking for the public to adopt the animals so they can avoid having the pups euthanized.

The public can also foster a puppy. Fostered animals need a small window of time out of the shelter before they can be transported to other states where adoptive families are waiting for them.

Anyone in the area interested in fostering a pet from the shelter should email .

Anyone interested in adopting one of the puppies or any other animal at the shelter can visit the shelter at 612 Canino Road in Houston during adoption hours: Monday through Friday 1 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
