Ada Icon Dog of the Week

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, April 3, 2017

Dottie is a 3 year old spayed female bulldog mix. She weighs 78 pounds. She's a total lovebug, looking for her forever home!

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.

Spring!

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Friday, March 31, 2017

By Monty Siekerman

On a day when March showers, hopefully, bring May flowers, several youngsters made a "greenhouse," planted bean seeds in the "structure," and did a lot of coloring.

The spring activity at the Ada Public Library on Thursday involved coloring the edges of a "greenhouse," adding some seeds inside a plastic bag, and placing cotton balls inside the bag for moisture to help the seeds sprout. Soon, the children will have their own bean starts to plant at home.

Here, Sophie (left) and Phoebe McKinley enjoy the activity.
