If just plain cat is on your wish list, here's a beauty. He is a 12-week-old domestic short hair with gray and white tiger markings. He can be rescued and adopted at Newton County Animal Shelter, located at 210 Lower River Road in Covington. The shelter usually has between 20 to 30 dogs and an equal number of cats eligible for adoption. The adoption fee for a dog or puppy is $25 and $10 for a cat or kitten. Spaying/neutering is mandatory for all animals. The shelter is open from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The phone number is 770-786-9514. Anyone who has lost a pet is urged to go to the center and bring a photo of the missing animal.

Cricket is a German Shephard-mix and about 4 months old. She's had a rocky start to life, having been dumped on the side of the road with an old inuury to her back left leg. No doubt she's wondering why her life has been so scary thus far and would like to settle down in a stable home. She'll probably weigh around 60 pounds as a healthy adult. She's up-to-date on all her shots and deworming and can be rescued and adopted at Rockdale County Animal Care and Control Shelter at 1506 Rockbridge Road in Conyers. At the Rockdale shelter adoption fees for dogs are $30 and $20 for cats. Spaying or neutering is required for adoption. The shelter is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The phone number is 770-278-8403. ----
