Animal shelters and rescue organizations in the United States are faced with difficult choices every day as they grapple with overcrowding caused by an influx of stray, abandoned, and surrendered dogs.
These compassionate shelters are tirelessly working to ensure that these animals find their forever homes, including the local animal shelter which has two upcoming adoption events planned.
Jess Smith from the Caldwell County Animal Shelter says she is excited to announce some upcoming adoption events – the first of which will be held Monday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Taco Johns. She indicates a certain percentage of your purchase will go to the local animal shelter and a few of the dogs available for adoption will be there.
Furthermore, Smith says they will be having two dog shows during Harvest Fest at Princeton City Hall on October 28th.

For the cat lovers in the community, Phelps wants you to understand they would love to help cats in the community too, but right now they do not even have enough room at the animal shelter for dogs.
