Jet is a 2 year old male black lab mix. He weighs 74 pounds, He is very sweet and is good with other dogs.

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.

Sign says it all

The sign says it all: High Water.  Here's the view of County Road 65 east of Ada on Friday afternoon. Depending on where the water gauges were located, the Ada area received 5 to 6 inches of rain on Thursday and Friday. You'd think that amount would be enough to last all summer, but the area could be crying for rain a month from now due to Ohio's fickle weather. (Ken Collins photo)
