Pet of the Week

Scooter

O, the woes of summer's end. Not only have clouds rolled in and homework looms on the horizon, but the animal shelter is filled with pets abandoned by people leaving town. Woe are our poor furry friends who have no say in the matter. Such is Scooter. He's a handsome 10-year-old black-and-white cat, neutered, calm and collected, but still loves to play with other cats. He needs to be updated on his shots, but more than anything he needs some humans to end this great summer by welcoming him into their home.

If you'd like to adopt a pet, call or stop by the Animal Shelter on the Bypass across from the post office. The shelter is open seven days a week, 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. Call 235-3141, e-mail pow@homeranimals.com, or visit the shelter's Web site at www.homeranimals.com.
