Cumulus Media announces that its 10 stations in Mobile, AL, and Pensacola, FL, joined forces with the Mobile County Animal Shelter and sponsors Rich’s Car Wash, Netherland Air Conditioning, Makeda Nichols State Farm, Tameron Subaru, and Corsentino Chiropractic to find forever homes for the area’s homeless pets through the first-ever Gulf Coast Pet Adoption Festival.
The successful community initiative was held on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the Mobile County Animal Shelter in Mobile, and connected 28 dogs with new families who adopted them that day. In addition, more than 50 applications were received by day’s end from people wanting to adopt animals coming into the shelter in the coming days and weeks.
A combined total of 38 pets found homes as a result of this initiative.
In the weeks leading up to the festival, Cumulus Mobile stations brought animals available for adoption into the studios and featured them on-air and on Facebook Live. The result: Every pet that was showcased on-air was adopted within days. Moving forward, Cumulus Mobile stations will continue to feature homeless animals on-air every week, with the goal of finding every pet a loving home.
The Mobile/Pensacola region of the country is particularly vulnerable to storms and hurricanes, which increases the problem of abandoned or stranded pets. There is an even greater need in Pensacola, where there are more than 275 homeless animals that currently need a home. The stage is set to solve this problem on May 3, 2025, when Cumulus Media joins its sponsors and Escambia County Animal Welfare for the second Gulf Coast Pet Adoption Festival in Pensacola.
Don Boyd, Regional Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Mobile/Pensacola, said: “This all started when I began seeing post after post on social media about pets in Gulf Coast shelters needing homes. The number of homeless dogs in our area is staggering, and I knew we had to do something. I shared the vision with our team, and Regional Promotions Director, Cami Marlowe immediately got to work reaching out to local shelters. We quickly learned that the Mobile County Animal Shelter was in urgent need of support. After touring the facility and meeting these amazing dogs, our entire staff was all-in.”
