Among animal shelters, spring is known as ‘kitten and puppy season’, because this is the time of year when large amounts of cats and dogs give birth. Panora P.E.T.S’ Linda Shelley says now is a great time to adopt an animal. “It is spring, so the puppies and kittens will start flooding us. If you’re interested in a dog, cat, kitten or puppy, start checking our website. We get all kinds. We get purebreds. We get mixed. We get a little bit of everything.”
