Desperately seeking new homes

This is the weekend where you could change a life. You could visit your local shelter or call your local rescue group and save an animal. Lady Bug, the dog pictured, is available at the HSSC, 2331 15th Street in Sarasota or call 955-4131.

All the area shelters are full of animals. Cats and dogs, puppies and kittens and even a rabbit or two are all waiting for someone to love them. There are big dogs and small ones, purebreds and mutts. There are black cats and tortis, orange tabbys and calicos. They all need homes.

Want a dog to sit by your chair while you watch television? How about a new kitten or two. Are you an outside person who needs a running companion? Do you live by yourself and simply want a cat to sit on your lap and purr?

Please visit an area shelter or rescue group today or tomorrow. There are hundreds of animals in this area who are desperately seeking a home. Save a life today, opt to adopt a homeless pet.
