came into the shelter originally he had ear bites badly on both of his
ears. Their best guess is that Kong was tied up outside without much
interaction with people or other animals. He was adopted out once and
after a couple years he is back. His previous owner was hospitalized and
Kong would not let anyone into the home to care for him, leading to his
return to the shelter.
He will not be adopted to a home that already has pets or small
children. He is very selective on who he likes but is a big teddy bear
when he does. When Kong is in a crate he does very good about not going
to the bathroom in it. Kong is looking for a family that will be patient
with him while he is learning the ropes of obedience, good behaviors,
and walking correctly on a leash. He has come a long way already with
fast learning but is still working on being the best dog he can be. His
adoption fee of $125 includes his neuter, vaccinations, treatment for
intestinal parasites, a heartworm test, and a microchip. If you are
interested in making Kong a member of your family please give our
shelter a call to discuss this special boy or stop at the front desk
while visiting the shelter. More info
Thanks for a great 2025!! I'll be back in 2026

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
