Hamilton, Ozzie and Mickey

One of our KIX Critters of the week is Hamilton!

He is a 5-year-old mixed breed who came in as a stray, and he’s ready to start a new chapter in his life with someone special.

This shy guy may need some time to warm up, but with patience and love, he’ll reward you with loyalty and affection. Hamilton is a true outdoors enthusiast! He loves spending time outside, where he begins to come out of his shell and show his playful side. He’s looking for a patient and understanding person who can help him build trust and confidence.

Good news for dog lovers – Hamilton does well with other dogs! If you already have a dog, we’ll arrange a meet and greet to make sure they’re a perfect match.

Hamilton's adoption fee is 50% off the normal price!!

Hamilton and his buddy Ripley!

The List for Thursday, March 6th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Page Six reports that Ben Affleck is allegedly open to rekindling things with Jennifer Garner—because apparently, he’s trying to complete the Jennifer Infinity Gauntlet.   But Garner is reportedly not interested, which makes sense—why go back to your ex when you’ve upgraded to a man who doesn’t look like he lost a fight with Dunkin’ Donuts?

Eric Church's bar, Chief's, now has a drink named after Morgan Wallen called "The Chair".  It’s a $19 Vodka drink, that features a small folding chair hanging over the rim. Chief's is where Morgan was arrested last year for throwing a chair off a six-story balcony.

Deadline Hollywood says a Randy Travis biopic is in the works. Clay Walker will play Travis in his 40s and 50s in the upcoming film. The movie, titled "Forever And Ever, Amen," will showcase Travis' legendary music career.  Travis and his wife Mary are executive producers.

-----

RadarOnline reports that celebrities are terrified they might go blind from using Ozempic—because apparently, nothing says “Hollywood” like risking your eyesight just to fit into a size zero.  Doctors say the drug has been linked to vision loss, which means some stars might finally have an excuse for their terrible movie choices.

An insider reveals, “She’s tried to get Mike to eat more salads and meat-alternative foods, but he’s a die-hard meat lover.  Mike is stubbornly refusing to change, and she’s none too happy about it because the smell of Mike’s steak searing in the pan makes her nauseated!”   File this under “Things you should have known BEFORE you got married”.

-----

Carly Pearce has one deal-breaker when it comes to choosing a man to date.  She says, "Being cocky.  I don't want all that.  I need a confident, sweet guy."
