Sheba is a big girl, with a great big loving heart. This 3-year-old, long-haired black girl loves to be brushed, petted and just loved. There — is that so much to ask? 

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the city’s Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 235-3141.
