Do you love the sound of little paws racing across your floors? Does the sight of a wagging tail warm you through and through9 Or are your nerves soothed by the sound of a purring cat9 If so, you may be just the person the local animal shelters are in search of this month.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCAt will be celebrating October as Adopt-aShelter-Dog Month. Each year millions of dogs enter our nation’s shelters, yet of the approximately 59 million owned dogs in this country, less than 20 percent are shelter adoptees.

“Nothing adds more warmth to a home or offers a better greeting after a hard day’s work like a wagging tail and a pair of big brown eyes,” says Dr. Larry Hawk, ASPCA President & CEO. “Drawing people to the shelters then guiding them through the process of preparing their home for a new dog are our goals this month.” If you have room in your home, and in your heart, contact your local shelter today and visit their pets in need.

The mountains sang this past weekend as Sperryville hosted its annual music festival. Many thanks to all who contributed tirelessly to fill the village with song and dance while the weather cooperated perfectly!

Congratulations to Mr.
