A Good Week to Make New Friends

The Georgetown Animal Shelter is offering their Valentine’s Special through February 17 (Sunday).   Instead of the usual $75 adoption fees for pets,  this week, in honor of Valentine’s Day, it’s only $14 for adult dogs or cats, including spaying and neutering, microchipping and all the appropriate vaccinations.   In hopes of giving them some publicity, I stopped by Sunday afternoon and found volunteer Joan Shaffer hard at work with the cats and dogs (Joan’s the opening shot).   Joan also played fetch with Princess, a two-year-old Pit Bull.  Eight-year-old twin sisters Brianna and Jacqui Spencer got to romp around a play yard with Dusty, a lively two-year-old pooch.   I’m hoping mom and dad follow through and make Dusty a part of their home.   As of Sunday, the shelter housed 27 cats, 23 dogs and one bunny rabbit named Thumper.   These babies need good homes, folks.   Give the Pit Bulls a chance, too.   They get a horrible rap.   Visit their site at the link above for more information.
