November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and we're celebrating by offering 50% off adoption fees for animals ages 7 or older, like our Pet of the Week Cisco.

Cisco is a 10 year old Chihuahua mix with years of experience accompanying his favorite person on their daily adventures. This older gent is an explorer at heart - he loves car rides and walks - and will never leave your side once you've earned his trust.

Cisco takes his time warming up to new people, but he rewards your patience with lots of snuggles! He isn't the biggest fan of children under 12, larger dogs, or cats. He would do well as an only dog or with another dog of similar size - after a meet and greet at the shelter.

Cisco thanks Purina for providing delicious food for all felines and canines at the shelter as they wait for their forever homes.

Sad

A man who took in an orphaned squirrel and made it a social media star is mourning after New York state's decision to seize and euthanize the animal named Peanut, as well as a rescued raccoon called Fred.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation took the animals from Mark Longo’s home and animal sanctuary on Wednesday. The agency said it had gotten complaints that wildlife was being kept illegally and potentially unsafely.

The DEC and the Chemung County Health Department said that the squirrel and raccoon were euthanized so they could be tested for rabies after Peanut bit someone involved in the investigation. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/mUBDRj
