On Thursday, Feb. 6, Circle Road received its honorary designation as Pet Circle Road to celebrate and recognize the vital work of Pet Circle Regional Animal Center. Following the unveiling, attendees took pictures with Chance, the new Pet Circle Waco mascot, met some of the adorable adoptable animals, and explored the facility during the open house.
Special shout out to Health Camp, our Pet Circle Road neighbor, who sponsored ten adoptions for the community.

 Love continues to be in the air this February at Pet Circle Regional Animal Center. Adoptions are just $24, then half-price on weekends ($12)! We visited some sweethearts for Valentine's Day and they're all available for adoption or foster. Pet Circle is over capacity and we need help to find these sweet pups loving homes! Fosters and volunteers are desperately needed too! (Photo of: Moonie)
