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.

About 40 youngsters auditioned on Sunday afternoon at the Freed Center for the ever-pupular ONU Holiday Spectacular.
Children 5 to 12 years old vied for about 20 children's parts.
When asked, "What is an audition," one tyke popped up and said, "You sing, you dance, and you smile." She hit the nail on the head.
The show will be presented at the Freed Center three times in November and at the Lima Civic Center three times in December.
A word to the wise: if you plan to see the Spectacular in Ada, buy your tickets early. All performances at the Freed Center sell out quickly each year.
