Aurora is a 10-year-old female. This sweet gal came from a rough, overcrowded situation. She’s shy at first, but warms up quickly and is a real treasure to have around. She needs consistency and patience (don’t we all?), and in return will give you years of love and companionship.

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-7 p.m. Tuesday, noon-5 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Closed Mondays. For more information, call 235-3141.
