Loving Arms Pet Placement goes to great lengths to restore the health<br />

of dogs and cats who come into our rescue. Our vet bills are high. With<br />

the additional mouths to feed, our fosters’ food bills are more than usual.<br />

One way to donate to Loving Arms - without using your own money<br />

-is to register our rescue with your Kroger card. To donate “painlessly”<br />

to Loving Arms Pet Placement, go to www.krogercommunityrewards.<br />

com, enter CT571, click on Loving Arms Pet Placement to attach our<br />

rescue to your Kroger card. Each time you scan your card, Kroger<br />

donates money to LAPP.<br />

We also have a Wish List on our website at<br />

www.lovingarmspetplacement.com.<br />

There are pets still in need of temporary shelter. Would your family like to<br />

help a dog or cat in need? Loving Arms Pet Placement is a foster-based<br />

rescue for dogs and cats and is always in need of foster families.<br />

While fostering can be challenging, knowing that you helped an<br />

animal when it most needed shelter and security and then helped<br />

it find its forever home will give you endless joy. Tell Loving Arms Pet<br />

Placement in what capacity you can help. Can your home accommodate<br />

only small animals or can you foster big dogs? Can you handle<br />

puppies and kittens or only mature animals? Can you take more than<br />

one animal at once? LAPP has a form for those interested in fostering<br />

to fill out on our website.<br />

Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www.lovingarmspetplacement.com<br />

or visit us at PetSmart on Highway 6 and FM 529<br />

each Saturday from 11 AM until 5 PM. We are also at Petco (FM1960<br />

at Eldridge) on Saturdays from 11 AM until 4 PM.<br />

Loving Arms Pet Placement is a non-profit 501(c)(3)<br />

organization created to address the problems of<br />

stray and abandoned cats and dogs in Houston and<br />

Harris County. Our organization is comprised of dedicated<br />

volunteers who foster animals in their homes<br />

as an alternative to taking the animal to a shelter.<br />
