A new adoption initiative will throw homeless dogs a bone this month. Commercial Properties Realty Trust, kennel service Petz Plaza and other partners recently started Yelp BR, an effort to find permanent homes for adoptable dogs, with a kickoff event on Halloween at three sites in Baton Rouge. People can check out Spot, Fido and Buster from 8 a.m. to noon at Main and Fifth streets, across from the Red Stick Farmer’s Market; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Perkins Road and Acadian Thruway, in the Acme Oyster House parking lot; and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Coursey and Sherwood Forest boulevards, at Lake Sherwood Shopping Center. The dogs, who stay temporarily at the East Baton Rouge Parish Animal Control & Rescue Center, will be checked by veterinarians, assessed for behavior, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and de-wormed, and each pup will have a microchip implanted. A second adoption day is scheduled Dec. 5. For more information, visit YelpBR.com, or friend the group on Facebook.
