PET OF THE WEEK
The Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter has animals available for adop
tion. This week’s featured pet is “Pancho,” who is about 2 1/2 years old
and was brought into the shelter after the snowstorm. “It’s obvious that
Pancho just loves people,” said a shelter staff member. “This terrier mix
begs for attention — and we do mean begs. Pancho will stand on his hind
legs, jumping to get your attention and approval.” For more information,
contact the Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter at 706-795-2868. The cost
to adopt Pancho is $75, which covers his current shots and neutering.
