Adoption day Saturday at Bonita Lakes Mall

If it's "puppy love" you're looking for this Valentine's Day, the Lauderdale County Humane Society encourages you to check out what they have to offer Saturday at Bonita Lakes Mall.
Because the number of abused, abandoned and unwanted pets continues to grow, the Humane Society will offer pet adoptions from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the mall's J.C. Penney Court.
Organizers expect to have as many, if not more, animals this time as they had for the adoption day in January.
Humane Society pets are most often current on shots, have been tested for heart worms and, if age permits, have been spayed or neutered.
Lee encourages anyone who may be interested in an animal to come to the mall and help out the Humane Society. She warns, however, that no one should make a rushed decision about adopting a pet.
Lee stresses that unwanted pets are not to be dropped off at the mall.
