Lifeline/DeKalb Shelter July adoption event

If you have been considering adopting a dog or cat, no better time than now!

via Lifeline Animal Project...

For the entire month of July all dogs may be adopted for only $30 and cats for only $17.76!  Adopters will receive a dog or cat that has been spayed or neutered, has had all vaccines and is microchipped – a $200 value.  As an additional bonus during the first two weeks of July, adopters will also receive a free adoption package with veterinarian, grooming and training coupons, while supplies last.

Adoption counselors will be on hand to ensure the animals are being placed in good homes.

According to DCAS Shelter Director Susan Feingold, when you adopt, you’ll not only be gaining a loving family member, but you’ll be receiving many health benefits too. “To celebrate our first anniversary, we’re offering terrific adoption rates,” she says. “And if you adopt a pet, you’ll be giving yourself the gift of better health.  According to The American Heart Association, people who own pets have a reduced risk for heart disease, visit the doctor less and live longer than people who don’t.”

To view animals available for adoption, or for the shelter’s address and phone number, please visit the shelter or visit www.dekalbanimalservices.com/adopt.

Around the neighborhood

At the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve:

The pond is pretty dry but so lush and green!

Below are two trees that sustained fire damage after lighting struck the tool shed last year.  You can see the scorched bark still. The tree to the left is now dead and has been left standing (for the benefit of wildlife) but the top was removed was removed for safety purposes. Notice the mushrooms growing on it (a sign of dead wood, as was noted on a recent item on tree care). Compare that to the new growth on the tree to the right, which had some limbs removed due to fire damage.

Elsewhere, a fall webworm colony on a branch overhanging the creek. You can see some little wrigglers inside (around 11 o'clock on the silk tent). The adults are small, white, nocturnal moths.
