Today, March 23, is National Puppy Day! Our furry friends helped us cope with our many challenges over the last year and deserve some recognition. Take your buddy for a walk, give them a treat, and have a snuggle. If you’ve always wanted a pet, consider adopting from the Oregon Humane Society. For those of you looking to pamper you pet, here are a few stores that cater to our canine companions.
