Local animal rescue hosts adoption event in Shallotte

SHALLOTTE, NC (WWAY) –Some furry friends found their forever homes this past weekend at an event hosted by Empowering Pawz, a local animal rescue shelter.

“Pooches and Pours” took place at The Pour House in Shallotte, giving rescue dogs a chance to meet potential families.

The event showcased dogs in need of foster or permanent homes. Fourteen dogs attended, and by the end of the day, six puppies had found their new families. Two other dogs are still awaiting adoption.

Kara Cosby, the owner of Empowering Pawz, emphasized how crucial these events are for these rescues. “It gives exposure to some of the dogs that maybe haven’t had as much interest. Events like this get them out and show people just how great these dogs really are,” she said.

Empowering Pawz hopes to host “Pooches and Pours” monthly, as they continue their mission to connect dogs with loving foster and adoptive families.
