Adopt a Fur Baby from Northwest Indiana’s Shelters!
In February, the month of amore, there’s no better time to add unconditional love, cuddles and kisses into your life! We aren’t talking about sparking up a romance, but adopting a four-legged companion from one of the many adoption shelters in Northwest Indiana!
The reasons to welcome a pet into your home are endless. A relaxing moment of cuddling a friendly feline can lower stress levels, even reportedly helping lower blood pressure and anxiety. A couple of hours playing outside with a pup can give you the boost of activity you need, and put a smile on your face. All you need to do is welcome them into your family!
