Ready For A New Pet? Big Lubbock Event Happening This Week - KFYO
Lubbock Animal Services is aiming to clear out every kennel this Wednesday, August 22, for its eighth annual Clear the Shelters event.
This initiative offers locals a direct chance to bring a new furry family member home, perhaps a dog for walks in Tech Terrace or a cat to curl up with in Raintree. It significantly reduces the population within the facility, easing pressure on our dedicated shelter staff and resources. Every successful adoption creates vital space for another animal in need of care, directly benefiting the overall welfare of animals in Lubbock. Finding a home for every single animal in the shelter would be a monumental achievement for our city.
