Summary by The Lubbock Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Haleigh Hinojosa, EverythingLubbock Local · July 20, 2026 · 1 min read

KLBK's Pet of Day segments air Monday through Thursday during our noon newscast.

Why this matters in The Lubbock

The daily spotlight on a local pet in need of a home is a welcome addition to the noon newscast. For Lubbock residents who tune in to KLBK, the Pet of the Day segment offers a chance to connect with the community and potentially find a new companion. As the City of Homes, Lubbock prides itself on its strong sense of community, and initiatives like this help foster that spirit. By airing these segments Monday through Thursday, KLBK provides a consistent platform for local pets to find forever homes. This effort also underscores the city's commitment to animal welfare, which is reflected in the work of local animal shelters and rescue groups. As Cooper, the current Pet of the Day, waits for a new home, Lubbock residents have the opportunity to make a difference in the life of a deserving animal.
