The Almanac, in partnership with Animal Friends and sponsored by Maitri Medicinals, is enormously proud to coordinate an adoptable pet of the week program to help publicize local shelter animals to find their forever homes! Every week, we will feature a dog, cat, or rabbit that could be your new best friend! If you are interested in any of the animals, please contact the Animal Friends Adoption Team by emailing AdoptionInfo@ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org or calling 412-847-7002 to set up an appointment.
