Houston non-profit in need of public’s help to build new play yard
What they’re saying:
Now, the public can help the non-profit replace a play yard for the dogs that has been there since 2019.
Houston Pets Alive Executive Director Shannon Parker showed us boards that were protruding and rusted plates.

“The new one will be fully closed, and we can use it all year,” said Parker.
Right now, with no top, the amount of time dogs can stay in the yard is limited in Houston’s heat.
A new play yard will give the dogs more time with other dogs and volunteers, making them more adoptable.
