CINCINNATI, OH (October 15, 2025) — This holiday season, Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue is bringing festive cheer and lifesaving impact to communities across the Midwest and Northeast with three Home for the Holidays adoption events in Ohio, New Jersey, and New York.
These family-friendly celebrations will feature more than 100 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens at each event, all hoping to find the ultimate holiday gift — a forever family.
