CLASP (Cowtown Loves Animal Shelter Pets) members from across Fort Worth will be attending the City Council meeting this Tuesday night to show their support for the construction of an adoption center at the Fort Worth animal shelter.

The original plans for the city Animal Shelter included an adoption center, but the adoption center was dropped due to cost overruns. Since then, the adoption center has never been re-addressed or even reconsidered.

As you may know, I adopted a dog from the animal shelter. He’s turned out to be a wonderful companion, and I can’t imagine my life without him. Shelter dogs and cats don’t choose to be there. They wind up there because of careless pet owners who either lose track of them or don’t have their pets spayed or neutered and allow them to be born in the first place. Every animal that winds up in the shelter deserves the best opportunity to find a new family that will take good care of them, and an adoption center is be the best way to meet that goal.

Please, come out to City Council chambers on Tuesday night at 7PM and show your support for this worthy cause.
