Finding Homes for Those 100+ Dogs

 

Months after the confiscation of scores of dogs from the eastern end of Lauderdale County, Florence-Lauderdale Animal Services still has over 100 dogs in need of a home. Even with many going to a northern rescue, the numbers are more than the shelter can reasonably handle. 

We're sure that there are many in our reading audience who would love to adopt one of these best friends for their own. After all, they've intended to, but keep forgetting. We're going to make it slightly more difficult for you to forget; we're going to be showcasing one of these dogs each day in Shoalanda Speaks and The Hidden Shoals.

Sure, some of our over 14K Facebook readers overlap the shelter's 33K, but still many don't. Also, at least 25% of those who read our blogs go directly to the sites and bypass Facebook. Let's make sure these readers know about the dogs as well.

What happens when we've showcased all the dogs? We'll start on the cats...
