🐾 Foster Monday 🐾

Our shelter is full of amazing dogs looking for temporary foster homes! From playful puppies to loving middle-aged companions and sweet senior dogs, we have a furry friend that would love a cozy place to stay while they wait for their forever family.

Fostering helps reduce stress, provides valuable socialization, and gives us a chance to learn more about each dog's personality. Plus, you'll be making a huge difference in a dog's life!

❤️ Puppies need guidance and love.
🐾 Adult dogs need a comfortable place to relax.
💙 Senior dogs deserve a soft bed and extra TLC.

Interested in fostering? Stop by or call Giddings Animal Shelter at 979-540-3919 to learn more. We provide support and can help match you with the perfect foster companion.
Open your home. Save a life. Foster today! 🏡🐕🐾

🐾 Informational Friday: New World Screwworm Awareness 🪰

The New World Screwworm is a serious pest that can affect pets, livestock, wildlife, and other warm-blooded animals. Unlike common maggots that feed on dead tissue, screwworm larvae feed on living tissue, causing painful and potentially life-threatening wounds if left untreated.

⚠️ Signs to Watch For:
• Open wounds that won't heal
• Excessive licking, scratching, or irritation
• Foul-smelling wounds
• Swelling or discharge around a wound
• Visible maggots in a wound
• Loss of appetite, lethargy, or discomfort

🩺 How to Help Protect Your Pets:
• Check your pets regularly for cuts, scrapes, and skin injuries.
• Keep wounds clean and seek veterinary care promptly.
• Watch for signs of infection or unusual wound healing.
• Maintain regular grooming, especially during fly season.
• Report suspected cases to a veterinarian immediately.

❗ We are not licensed veterinarians. If you suspect your pet may have a screwworm infestation or any wound-related concern, contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
