A new era has begun for the animals who find themselves stranded at Animal Services. Beginning June 2007, a new adoption program was instituted by the El Paso Shelter And Rescue Coalition (EPSHARE), which subsequently formed New Hope Alliance. So many of the animals who arrive as strays at Animal Services would make such wonderful pets, they just need someone to give them a chance – will it be you?
DECISIONS REGARDING YOUR PET’S HEALTH SHOULD BE BASED ON LOVE, NOT FINANCES! To help new adopters, New Hope Alliance - Adopt A Pound Pet Program gives every new adopter one month of pet health insurance for free. But it shouldn’t stop with the adoption…and what about your current pets?
