Tex
This year’s Global Pet Adoptathon kicked off with black Labrador mix Tex capturing the hearts of Jessica and her entire family. They were elated to mark the first adoption of the weekend, and Tex’s new mom shared how much she had hoped they’d find a special four-legged friend: “I grew up with pets and understand the value of having an animal as part of your family.” As fate would have it, Tex’s adoption was especially meaningful. “I lost my boy, also a rescue, back in October,” Jessica said. “His birthday was May 31 and since he passed, the number 31 keeps appearing. Tex’s birthday is January 31 and it felt like a sign! We are just in love with him. He is so affectionate and playful.” Tex has quickly settled into his new life, and is bringing joy and smiles to his new family every day.
