An unexpected visitor at the Humane Society of North Texas could change the holiday season for dozens of pets seeking forever homes.
A Surprise Collaboration
Late last week, an influencer known for her pet‑centric content knocked on the doors of the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT). The visit sparked a partnership that will bring the organization’s annual “Doggy in the Window” holiday adoption event into the social‑media spotlight.
Reporter Insight
NBC 5’s Tahera Rahman reports that the influencer’s enthusiasm helped HSNT plan a coordinated online campaign. Rahman said the collaboration aims to showcase the animals in the adoption trailer and encourage visitors to bring their families to the event.
What the Event Is
HSNT will host its “Doggy in the Window Holiday Adoption Event” from Thursday, December 11 through Sunday, December 14. The venue is the Neiman Marcus store at the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth, located at 5200 Monahans Avenue. The event will feature an adoption trailer filled with dogs and cats ready for new homes.
Social‑Media Strategy
The partnership with the influencer will leverage Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to highlight the animals, share adoption success stories, and provide live updates during the event days. By posting short videos and behind‑the‑scenes clips, the nonprofit hopes to reach a wider audience and drive more foot traffic to the Neiman Marcus location.
Adoption Trailer Details
The adoption trailer is a central element of the event. It will display a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, each accompanied by a brief description of the pet’s personality and health status. Visitors can interact with the animals, ask questions, and meet the staff who will guide the adoption process.
Event Schedule
The daily schedule is as follows:
- Thursday – Saturday (Dec. 11‑13): 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Sunday (Dec. 14): 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
These hours allow families to visit during school breaks and after‑school hours, making it convenient for a broad range of potential adopters.
How to Participate
Anyone interested in adopting can visit the Neiman Marcus store during the event hours. Prospective adopters will fill out an application, meet the animal, and complete a short interview with HSNT staff. The nonprofit will provide resources on pet care, vaccination schedules, and post‑adoption support.
Community Impact
HSNT’s annual event has been a staple of the Fort Worth community for years, helping to reduce shelter overcrowding and give pets a second chance. By adding a social‑media component, the organization expects to increase awareness and attract a new demographic of adopters who may not have otherwise visited a shelter.
