Why this matters in The Laredo
Foxy's story is a stark reminder of the ongoing challenge faced by the Laredo Animal Protective Society in finding forever homes for its long-term residents. With LAPS operating at almost full capacity for dogs, the need for adopters to step forward is pressing. As Foxy approaches her 11th birthday, her situation underscores the importance of community support for local animal shelters. The fact that she has been waiting for a new home for two years suggests that older dogs may be overlooked in favor of younger animals. By considering adoption, Laredo residents can not only give Foxy and other dogs a second chance but also help alleviate the burden on LAPS, allowing the organization to continue providing essential services to the community. With the shelter's limited hours of operation, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, prospective adopters should plan their visit accordingly to meet Foxy and other dogs in need of a loving home.
