PAWS Pet Kennel Expansion
The Samaritan Inn is excited to announce that the expansion of PAWS, our pet kennel service, is officially underway! This expansion will allow us to support more dogs, add housing for cats, and enhance the overall space for our residents’ pets.
In addition to being the largest comprehensive homeless shelter that houses single men as well as women and children, The Samaritan Inn is one of the only homeless programs in Texas that provides on-site pet kennels for residents to utilize on our 15-acre campus. According to a study conducted by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, 22% of individuals experiencing homelessness indicated they avoided seeking services at local shelters because “they don’t accept my pet.”
