Pet of the Week

Deacon

German short-hair pointers are exceptional hunting dogs with sharp eyes and a keen sense of smell. They're extremely obedient and very eager to please. Deacon is 7 and his son Preacher is 3. These purebred pointers get along well with kids, are friendly and have been trained to hunt. Unfortunately they've become homeless in the last few months, so what they're hunting for is a new home. They're also great at hunting for the perfect Christmas gift, so whoever adopts these dogs can count on some very successful expeditions.

If you would like to adopt a pet, call or stop by the Homer Animal Shelter on the Homer 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 bearpaw@alaska.net, or visit the shelter on the Internet at www.homeranimals.com
