October events target long waits for large shelter dogs

Several initiatives are encouraging people to adopt dogs and support animal rescues. Knine Rescue is bringing adoptable puppies and adult dogs to a taproom event, where a Paw-O-Ween photo session will donate half its proceeds to the nonprofit. Other features spotlight animals seeking homes, including Remi, a 7-year-old dog at the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando whose adoption fee is being covered, and pets available through regional shelters and rescue groups. Animal Hearted Apparel is promoting its Rescue collection and donating 25% of each order to nonprofit shelters and rescue organizations; the article notes that dogs, particularly large dogs, can face long waits for adoption.
