If being in isolation the past few months has given you serious fur baby fever at some point, this one’s for you. In honor of World Animal Day yesterday, we’ve decided to shed some light on local furballs looking for their fur-ever homes.

Why adopt a four-legged companion?

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

We’ve done some digging + worked with local shelters to highlight some of the lovable fur babies (cats and dogs) that need homes in the Midlands.
