(Tyler, Texas) My two dogs (Cooper and Gypsy) make life better, and now is the perfect time to add a furry family member to your life too. Whether I've had a hard day at work or just want to relax, my two amazing dogs make life so much better by showing unconditional love. No matter what chaos is going on in the world, they just want to love you and try to get a few treats. I’m convinced we don’t deserve dogs (and I guess cats too).

If you've been debating about possibly getting a dog or a cat anytime soon, this might be the perfect time to find a new furry family member because Tyler Animal Services in Tyler, Texas has free adoptions through the month of June with a donation.

There are so many dogs and cats waiting in shelters across East Texas, they want to love a family, so please if you are thinking about adding a furry family member, always adopt don’t shop.
