Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, August 28, 2017

Meet Scrappie Doo. Scrappie Doo is a 3 year old male shepherd mix. He weighs 69 pounds. Can you give Scrappie Doo his 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.

ADA - The host Ada girls soccer team was shut out 3-0 by Marion Harding Saturday morning.

 

The Lady Bulldogs drop to 1-2 after suffering a second consecutive shutout defeat. They trailed 1-0 at intermission.

 

Ada senior Anney Archer made 15 saves in goal.

 

"We controlled the ball the majority of the game," said Bulldog first-year head coach Doug Poling.

 

"We shot the ball 26 times, we just couldn't find the back of the net," he continued. "We changed our formation a little to try to strengthen the defense. It helped, but we still have some work to do."
