Hey everyone! For those of you who don’t recognize me, my name’s Blake, and I’m the Advertising Director and Coeditor for Enid Monthly. It’s finally October, and that means fall is here! In my opinion, fall is the best time of year. The temperatures start dropping, the trees start changing colors, and, best of all, sweaters and hoodies can finally be brought out. With all of the enjoyable things fall brings, it also brings harder times for the animals here in Enid who are left out on the streets. And that’s what makes this month’s cover story so appurtenant. The shelters are filling up, and there’s still more animals coming in. Keep these fur babies in mind when you retire to the comfort of your home at the end of the day, and, if possible, please lend a helping hand! Adopt, foster, donate, or share the posts trying to give them a second chance. Anything and everything helps!
