We have no adoptions to report this week and our pet of the week is still Cricket. Cricket is a six-year-old, tabby and white female who is an indoor/outdoor cat. She is currently on a special diet due to her plumpness, which will need to be continued until she returns to her optimum weight. However, she is playful and can be affectionate when it suits her. Come meet her and see if you were meant to be.

Do you have a pet that loves fleece toys? If so come join us on Saturday, Nov. 29 from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. to learn how to make a no-sew, knotted fleece toy. The fee is $20 and all materials are supplied. Pre-registration is required before Nov. 26. For more information, contact Karen Ogden at Positive Rewards Dog Training at 508-693-3708.

There will be no nail clinic in November. Check back for the December date.

We are also looking for jewelry donations for our next annual Garden Party. We will accept any type of jewelry in any condition. Donations should be dropped off at the Shelter during business hours.

Looking for a gift for the person/people who have everything? It’s the perfect gift for any occasion. And we now have Venmo and PayPal available for your convenience.
