There are some puppies that are just looking for a good home this weekend.

The Dexter Animal Shelter is hosting an animal adoption event beginning at 10 a.m., this Saturday, July 23, at the shelter at 601 East Grant in the city. The adoption event will continue to about 3 p.m.

Animal shelter director Jeff Jarrell says he has a number of puppies and dogs that he hopes finds new homes on Saturday.

“We’ve got a good selection of puppies – about eight puppies and 11 medium-to-big sized dogs all for adoption,” Jarrell said. The dogs are all mixed breed animals ranging from “a hound to a Chihuahua mix.”

Just so folks don’t think Jarrell is favoring dogs these days, he said he did not have any kittens or cats at the shelter at this time.

“We get cats, too. Just not any right now,” he said.

All of the dogs are available to be adopted free of charge, Jarrell said. In fact, Jarrell said adoption is free until the end of the month.

“I just want them to have good homes,” he commented.

The Dexter Animal Shelter is located at 601 East Grant. Jarrell said signs would be posted leading to the facility. “You can’t miss them – they’re pink!”
