Adopt a New Family Member from your Local Animal Shelter
Goodness what a HOT SUMMER we've had here in Oklahoma. You know as hot as it's been, most of us can go inside and turn on our air conditioner to get out of the heat. However, in our great state of Oklahoma and many other places throughout the United States, there are many pets who are in need of a home. These dogs and cats are outside, roaming these hot, desert like streets who would love you and your family.
Whether you live in the Oklahoma City metro area or any other area, I encourage you to stop by your local animal shelter to adopt a new member into your family and into your heart. I have three cats, who were all strays that I've adopted over the years. While we still lived in New York we adopted "Kitty" from the local animal shelter in the Hudson Valley. He even flew on the plane with us when we moved back to Oklahoma. He's been the best member of our family, never complains, always stops to say hello and lets you know how much he appreciates his home. I love him so much.
If you have a big heart and want to be loved unconditionally, visit your local animal shelter and adopt a dog or a cat. You're life will be filled with lots of love.
