🐾 Introducing your new best friend

Every year, nearly one million cats and dogs are euthanized across the country due to overcrowded adoption centers. Those who adopt can save more than one animal’s life by freeing up shelter space for stray, abused, lost + surrendered animals.

Bringing home a furry friend is always an exciting adventure full of love, snuggles, and a chewed up shoe or two.

We’ve done some digging to highlight local animal shelters that need some purrfect parents to bring a fur baby into their furever home.
