"With so many people seeking to add pets to their family around this time of year, our 'Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope' event is the perfect opportunity to make a difference in your community by saving a life and creating space to give another homeless pet a chance."

"The Covid Pandemic prevented our shelter from participating in the Holiday Hope event last year, so we're excited about its return to our shelter," said Teeya Barnes, LMAS Public information Specialist. "The best present you can give a homeless pet is a forever home.  We encourage anyone considering adding a pet to their family to choose adoption instead shopping for one."
