Those who are considering getting a pet for Christmas would do well to first check out the Logan County Animal Shelter.
As of this past weekend, 11 dogs were available for adoption. So, to encourage those who are looking for a new member of the family, for the entire month of November, the Logan County Animal Shelter (LCAS) will be offering canine adoptions for a flat $45 charge. This rolls in standard costs, any veterinary care received at the Shelter and a dog license into one greatly discounted fee as regular canine adoptions generally cost about three times that amount. Bring home a pet for the holidays.
In other good news, Denali, who was the longest tenured resident of the LCAS at 133 days, and who was featured as a Pet of the Week in one of our first editions, found her forever home this past week.
Which brings us to Howie, who is the latest Pet of the Week at the LCAS.
Howie was taken in as a stray. In the words of the LCAS staff, Howie is just under a year old and is full of energy and potential. He is playful, loves people and isn't afraid to tell you what he's thinking, even if you can't understand him.
He has already mastered the sit command and works very well for food, so training should go pretty smoothly. Howie is that perfect mix of energy and calm. He will be up for a play session or hike then ready to curl up with you for the evening.
We aren't sure what life was like for him before coming to the LCAS, but we know he is a little timid when he meets new people. Once he spends a few minutes with you or you give him a treat, you will become his best friend.
If you think Howie might be the pup for you, fill out an application and come visit him.
