Shreveport drives 83 adoptions as regional shelter surge continues
Five pet adoption and rescue stories highlight ongoing efforts to connect animals with homes and support rescue networks. Dolly, a shy one-year-old cat at Berkshire Humane Society, needs a quiet, cat-free home and will be fully vaccinated and spayed before adoption; her name honors Dolly Parton after a staffer’s passing. Sassafras, a 3-month-old puppy at Caddo Parish Animal Services, is fully vaccinated, spayed, and at an ideal age for training, as adoptions at the shelter rise. Leia and Teddi, two dogs in Albuquerque, are up for adoption through Cross My Paws and will be featured at a local market to attract families. Salty Dawg Pet Salon + Bakery launches Groom for Good to support local rescues with a rescue wall, meet-and-greets, and grooming services for dogs in shelters, plus adoption-kit grooming coupons for newly adopted dogs. Sara, a 6-month-old Terrier mix in Tyler, is seeking a foster or adoptive home after being found abandoned with an embedded harness, and is current on vaccines and spayed.
