The number of animals that need homes that are at the Washington County Animal Shelter has gone up in the past week. 4 dogs found homes, but 2 new dogs were brought in, including a mix breed puppy and a boxer – lab mix, and there are still 3 of the lab mix puppies available, so the number of dogs is at 9. Last week there was 1 cat available, but now there is still 1 cat, but also 4 kittens, so there are 14 animals at the shelter that need homes this week. Dog adoption fee is $30, which includes an A.V.I.D. Identification Chip.  In addition, new owners will receive a certificate for $50 off spaying or neutering.  Pictures are available online at www.petfinder.com and type in 62263 at the first space in the upper left.  The shelter also is a place to drop off aluminum cans for recycling. They then use the money from this to help pay for expenses of housing the cats and dogs.  It is located at 17,990 Richview Road in Nashville.  For more information, call 327-4800, extension 355.
