Description

The adoptions.html shortcode opens external links using target="_blank" but does not include a rel attribute. Opening external links with target="_blank" without rel="noopener" can expose the originating page through window.opener.

Proposed change

Update the link to include rel="noopener"
This is a small security hardening change and should not affect the user-facing behavior of the links
