Shops at Wiregrass Goes to the Dogs—and Cats

Rescue groups from all over Florida had animals up for adoption at the My Furry Valentine event Saturday. (And I kissed a pig.)

It was a blustery, chilly afternoon at The Shops at Wiregrass Saturday. Volunteers had to hold down their tents more than a few times. But the biting chill didn't keep the crowds away. Plenty of people turned out for the mall's My Furry Valentine event, which featured dogs and cats available for adoption through various rescue groups and animal shelters. A success? Well, yes. Pasco County Animal Services volunteer Dale Spindle of Wesley Chapel said three of the four dogs they brought to the event were adopted. The one dog who was not adopted (as of 3 p.m. Saturday), was Izzy. Though Izzy is deaf, she is playful and affectionate, Spindle said.  And she is. My children and I fell in love with her immediately. She's too big for our small home…
