— A local animal rescue that has helped hundreds of dogs and cats find homes is searching for a new place to hold adoption events as the PetSense store in Opelousas prepares to close. Street Dogs Animal Rescue has partnered with PetSense since February, using the store as its primary adoption site. Now, with the store scheduled to close, Hepler said the rescue is losing one of its most valuable resources. "I don't know what the future of our animal rescue is going to look like without a retail location like this," Hepler said. Until the store closes, Street Dogs Animal Rescue plans to continue hosting adoption events every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., encouraging the public to visit, meet adoptable pets and help them find forever homes.
