A Head's Up: Lots of changes today in CM Animals

Kim Tucker reports five recent adoptions of animals at the Green River Animal Shelter, and fewer animals arriving. That's good news for the Shelter and for the Animals, but if you are looking for a special pet, it means you'll need to follow CM Animals more frequently to find just the right pet for your family.

The classifieds are being updated at this time for these adopted pets, with classified ad No. Listed first: #15440, Snuggles; #15439, Callie; #15451 Shaggy; #15453, one of few animals without a shelter name; and #15454, Pixie.

In the meantime, we'll be carefully removing the adopted animals, and posting the few additional ones coming to the shelter. - ED
