Sylvester is an 11-year-old male.

This sweet, calm boy is in perfect health, and needs a fresh start. He has lived inside and outside, and is an excellent mouser, but mostly just wants to be close to his people for ear scratches and loving words. As much as the staff love having him here, they’re ready to say “Happy Trails!” to this guy.

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.
