Talley is a sucker for a ball, a stick, or just a kind word and a gentle hand. This 18-month-old black Lab mix is happy, playful and eager to please. Good with other dogs, Talley is just a great all around family dog.

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the city’s Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 235-3141.
