Nala is currently available for adoption at PAWS & More.

While PAWS & More Animal Shelter would like to see their cages empty this season, they also wouldn’t mind seeing their stockings full this Saturday.

Shelter Director Amber Talbot says the public is invited to see the shelter decked out and visit the animals wishing Mr. Claus will find their forever home, “The cats and dogs will often have holiday attire on as well and it’s a great opportunity to come visit PAWS & More. If you’ve never visited, we have stockings hung and it’s also a toy drive or a supply drive as well. We’ll be collecting donations and again, our main goal is always promoting adoption.”

Nearing the end of 2021, the shelter has helped four rabbits, 181 dogs, and 525 cats this year, many of whom were in desperate need. You can find the shelter’s supply and toy wish list, or a link to donate by visiting their website, and Talbot encourages anyone who may not be spending the holidays with family or friends to come share some company with the shelter’s animals. The holiday open house will last from noon-4 p.m. Saturday. For more information on how to volunteer, or to find animals currently waiting for adoption, visit here.
