WINTERPORT - On Tuesday, Gov. John Baldacci will sign a proclamation declaring November Adopt a Shelter Pet Month.

It's a known fact that if you give a gift of love, they're not going to take that gift back. During the holidays, someone wants to give a pet for a gift, more than likely they won't allow that. People think that these are impulse adoptions, but they're really not.

Heartfelt joy speaks for Ronald and Cheryl Busby of Hernando as the deaf couple bond with Brownie, their new beagle mix and the happy, tail-wagging end to a sad story.

Summer is a great time of year to adopt a new pet. Most schedules are a little more flexible in the summer, children are out of school and the weather isn't bad. All of the shelters are overflowing with kittens. Some are offering two-for-one on kittens, which is a good deal, because they will come with all their vaccinations and spayed/neutered.
Rex is a 7-year-old male purebred Yellow Labrador Retriever. Although Rex knows some basic obedience, he is a strong dog that needs someone to continue his obedience. Rex is a friendly dog that will do best with regular exercise, a chance to retrieve tennis balls, and a place inside where he can have regular interaction with his people. Rex can be found in kennel 312 (#529089). My name is [Duncan], and I'm one of the cats rescued from Twin Falls a few months ago. At 2 years old. I'm fortunate to get a second chance. Now that I'm healthy, I have a beautiful red coat and an easy-going personality. I'm sure I'd make a wonderful addition to your home.
