2008-08-01 The Friday Flyer Article: Adopt-a-Pet: Sammy and Crackers
AFV always welcomes donations of bagged dog and cat food, blankets, towels and other pet supplies as well as those wishing to volunteer their time. Those able to temporarily shelter pets through the fostering program are also needed; fostering helps to free up space in the shelter, allowing extra time for animals to find a loving home.
This weeks pets include Sammy, a cute and friendly buff-colored male terrier mix that is already neutered and ready to go to a new home, and Crackers, a Nanday Conure with predominantly green coloring, with shades of blue throughout the body and a black head. Crackers is not hand-tame, so the ideal family would need to have experience with birds. To adopt either of these pets, contact Animal Friends of the Valleys at 674-0618 and ask for intake number 35900 for Sammy and 35754 for Crackers.
