Furry Friends: Spike and Millie

This dragon isn’t fire breathing but its name is Spike.

Spike – the folks at Humane Animal Welfare Society have not been able to determine if Spike is a boy or a girl – was brought to the animal shelter on July 23 because Spike’s owners were unable to afford Spike.

The bearded dragon is fed a special diet of mealworms, veggies, crickets and calcium supplements.

Meanwhile, Millie is a 4-year-old St. Bernard mix who was brought to Humane Animal Welfare Society on June 27 as a stray.

Millie is small for a St. Bernard, weigh about 67 pounds. She can’t live with other dogs or cats and is good for families with children above age 10. The behaviorists at the animal shelter are working on teaching the dog some manners.

To start the adoption process with H.A.W.S., you need to fill out an application. The application is available online or at the shelter on Northview Road. Pre-requisites of adoption are: be at least 18 years old, provide verifiable identification, provide proof of home ownership or landlord's permission and consent of adults at residence.
