Amid the Presidents' Day holiday observations, the City of Jacksonville, Florida, took to social media to remind residents of altered public service hours and highlight an opportunity to expand their family with a furry friend. The Animal Care and Protective Services (ACPS) adjusted its hours for the day, opening its doors from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, a period more abbreviated than their usual schedule.
In a post from the City of Jacksonville's official government Facebook page, they not only broadcasted the ACPS operating hours, but they also shone a spotlight on Lady, a two-year-old dog described as a "petite 30 pounds." Lady, who was introduced to the community as a stray mother accompanied by her puppies, is now looking for a new home. "Reaching out~ to remind you that ACPS is open from 12:00-4:00 today in observance of the Presidents' Day holiday," the city wrote, "And also, that 2-year-old Lady is a petite 30 pounds, a momma dog who came in as a stray with her puppies, and is available for adoption. 💕"
The post, complete with Lady's plaintive gaze, was as much an announcement as it was a call to action—urging the local populace to consider adopting from #yourcityshelter.
