Bringing home a furry friend is always an exciting adventure full of love, snuggles + a chewed up shoe or two.
It’s National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, so we’ve done some digging to highlight local animal shelters looking for some purrfect parents to bring any four-legged friend to their furever home.
