In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most exciting upcoming events for animal lovers—the latest Doggie Dash! Get ready to lace up your sneakers, gather your furry friends, and register for a day full of fun, community, and support for pets in need. Laura also introduces some very special feline friends who are currently looking for loving homes. Meet Cheddar Bay Biscuit, a charming 5-year-old gentleman from the Salem campus who came in as an injured stray but hasn’t let that dull his sweet personality. With his adorable little chirp and affectionate nature, he’s ready to steal someone’s heart. We’ll also spotlight Parmesan and Romano, a bonded pair of 10-year-old sisters at the Portland campus. After their previous person moved into a care facility, these two found themselves searching for a new home together. They may be a bit shy at first, but with a little patience, they’re sure to blossom into the perfect lap companions. Tune in to hear their stories, learn how you can help, and maybe even find your next furry family member!
