Dottie is a 3 year old spayed female bulldog mix. She weighs 78 pounds. She's a total lovebug, looking for her 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.

The Ohio Northern University 12-hour Relay for Life in the Sports Center on Friday night/Saturday morning generally raises about $17,000 for cancer.

Many organizations help with the event that honors survivors, remembers those who passed on, and provides money for cancer research and education.
ONU's annual Relay for Life begins with a walk honoring cancer survivors. The survivors were encouraged on with applause as they circled the track at the beginning of the night/morning event which included events every hour from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m.

It was changing of the guard Saturday at the Ada Flea Market when Gus Guthrie (right) handed off the keys to the new owner, Dan McCrory of Rawson.
Gus, who opened the flea market 5 years ago, is retiring from the business but will continue to pastor St. Paul's United Church of Christ. On Friday, Dan retired from Ball Metal in Findlay after 38 years. He began ownership of the store the next day.
He and his wife, Cindy, said they will enjoy operating a store with ever-changing merchandise and repurposing the goods sold there, all at bargain prices.
