COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – October is Adopt-a-Dog Month, and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) is reminding everyone just how much joy a furry friend can bring into your life.
There are so many lovable pups still waiting for their forever homes – and the shelter has some fun reasons why adopting one might be the best decision you’ll make all year.
- They’re the best personal trainers. You’ll never skip another walk when there’s a wagging tail waiting by the door.
- They double as therapists. One cuddle from a shelter dog can melt away even the worst stress.
- They make great security guards. From strangers to suspicious paper bags, nothing gets past a dog.
- They’re comedians, too. Late-night zoomies, stolen socks, and endless goofy moments – life with a dog is never boring.
But the best reason of all? When you adopt a shelter dog, you’re giving them a second chance at a happy life – and making space for another animal in need…
