Lufkin rescue provides free pet care for East Texans

Wendy’s Misfits Animal Rescue hosted a community event in a Lufkin parking lot on Saturday, providing free surgeries, vaccines, and medical care to approximately 100 pets. Supported by the Jason Heigl Grant and DeHart Veterinary, the initiative aimed to assist pet owners struggling with rising costs due to inflation. Organizers highlighted the importance of community support in addressing animal overpopulation and ensuring pets receive necessary care despite economic challenges.
