Last Chance: A New Pet for Easter

Here is a short list of pets hoping for adoption at the Carroll County Humane Society.

Axle is a 7-week-old male Bully breed mix.  He is all packed up in an Easter basket, ready to be an Easter gift to his new family.

Baby Girl is a 5-year-old female Lab/Pointer Mix.  She has a very shiny coat and is a beautiful ‘brown-eyed girl’.

Chance is a 5-year-old male Lab mix.  He is full of personality and hopes a new family comes to adopt him for Easter.

Buddy is a 3-year-old neutered male cat.  He loves being with people and is looking for a new best friend.

Sparky is an 8-month old neutered male cat who is described as ‘super, awesome, wonderful and handsome’.  He has a special quality with his paw that he is happy to share to anyone who comes to meet him in person.

Tank is a 11-month-old neutered male cat.  He has very pretty colors and loves to do his daily stretches.  He is hoping to find a new owner who he can stretch with every day.

Wink is a 4-month-old Bearded Dragon.  He needs at least a 40 gallon tank in order to be nice and comfortable and would love to be adopted by a family who knows a lot about Bearded Dragons.  Adoption fee: $40.00.

Mickey is a 7-month-old male rabbit.  He and his 7-month-old sister Minnie both have black fur, black eyes and are hoping to ‘hop into’ a new family in time for Easter.  Adoption fee: $10.00 each.

Cats are spayed by the Westminster Veterinary Hospital.

This is a terrible way to promote pet adoption! I would NEVER consider getting a new pet as a gift for any type of holiday or celebration. Pets are a huge responsibility and require thoughtful planning and consideration. They don't stay cute puppies and kittens forever, they grow up to be dogs and cats and they are a lot of work! I am all about pet adoption, but PLEASE do not get a pet for your child for Easter and expect them to take care of it. At some point, the novelty will wear off and YOU will be caring for it. Often, these pets end up back at the shelter. It's truly sad...

Congratulations graduates! May you be as successful in the next part of your journey as you were atRead More St. John School.

I don't live in your district and I am not a member of your party. I have watched you during yourRead More meetings with the commissioners and you handle things very well. You have a balance of private and public sector experience which is a necessary background to have to guide the county. It will be nice to have a competent person with your qualifications to run against someone who is totally unqualified but never had any opposition in the last election. Now she will have to attend the voter forums and explin her views and positions. Let the chips fall where they may. The emperor will have no clothes.

Wow, this is great news. Hopefully, 1 down and 4 to go!! Make sure Frazier shows up at theRead More political forums this time. She chose to miss every one last time, so she did not have to answer questions on her positions and her horrible record the first time around in 1998-2002. She will try to do that again to get re-elected.

If Frazier runs for reelection in 2014, I hope someone will have the nerve to ask her pointblank, onRead More camera, about her relationship to Roscoe Bartlett. Folks who've been around Carroll County for a while know the answer: there is no relation. She just tacked that on when she decided to run the first time. It may be her maiden name - or not - but she has never bothered to answer the question. She just let folks assume there is a connection, and lots of folks fell for it.
