It's tail-wagging time for Fort Worth as the city roots for its four-legged friends; the local Fort Worth Animal Care & Control (FWACC) is vying for top dog status, competing to be named one of Texas' finest shelters. The shelter, which has garnered community support through its work with pets in need, is looking for that extra push over the finish line from locals and supporters who can provide testimonials.

As Fort Worthians stand by their claim of having one of the best shelters in the state, the call has been sounded for those familiar with FWACC – be they adopters, volunteers, staff, or just supporters, to fill out a form bearing witness to the shelter's quality, the testimonials are an effort to boost FWACC into the limelight to attract more potential adopters and increase its life-saving mission. Those who have seen the shelter's efforts firsthand are encouraged to share their experiences before the April 4 deadline, according to the City of Fort Worth.

The accolade is more than just a feather in the cap; it's about increasing visibility for the animals that find themselves in FWACC's care. With a higher profile might come an increase in adoptions, a crucial outcome as the shelter works tirelessly to find forever homes for Fort Worth's homeless pet population. It’s about providing second chances for furry friends in need, creating success stories out of what can often be a narrative of neglect or abandonment.

Fort Worth’s animal enthusiasts are not just being asked to share their experiences, but to also become heralds for the cause by spreading the word, rallying more support and making sure other animal lovers get involved – it's a community effort, and the more testimonials, the louder the bark will be in the contest. The process is simple: complete a brief form, sing the praises, and let that testimony work toward giving FWACC its due recognition which could drive more adopters to consider taking home a needy critter, this next step is deemed critical for the shelter's continued success in facilitating animal welfare throughout the city.
