Municipal Animal Services is bringing Adopt Joy to a nearby PetSmart, creating a welcoming space to meet adoptable dogs of many breeds, ages, and activity levels. With so many pets waiting in shelters, this gathering highlights the power of compassion and connection while offering a chance to find a loyal walking buddy and loving companion. Supported by PetSmart Charities, the focus is on matching people with dogs who need homes and on celebrating the happiness adoption brings to both. Adoptions are donation based and include spay or neuter, core vaccinations, a microchip, and preventive care for fleas, ticks, and heartworms, plus additional benefits. Every contribution goes directly toward helping another shelter pet. Find a four legged friend who fits your life and bring home a little more joy.

She navigates Lucille’s new best friends, meets Herb, struggles to see the blackboard and wonders if glasses might help, dives into a competitive kickball game, and keeps her secrets safe in a Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal. Filled with upbeat songs, playful humor, and plenty of personality, it celebrates friendship, growing up, and finding confidence.
