## Resource

This “Pet of the Week” spotlight from Lawrence Humane Society has helped 34 out of 46 featured dogs find forever homes — a heartwarming win, but it underscores a troubling national trend: dog adoptions are dropping, straining shelters. The show shines a light on pups with unique needs — like Kiba, the bulldog with housing hurdles, or Lulu, once feral but now thriving — proving that love and patience can transform lives. Behind the scenes, staff face tough calls: when quality of life fades and all else fails, euthanasia becomes the last, most humane option. Nine dogs remain waiting — including silly Bob, well-behaved Axel, and Phineas, who’s been at the shelter for 120 days. If you’re ready to open your heart and home, reach out to the adoption team. These pups are counting on you. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
