This is "Zeke." He is a 12 week old Plott Hound that was found starving. He spent 3 days at the vet with IV's and has gained a couple of pounds.He weighs 11 pounds but will be a larger dog. He is very playful and needs a home that will give him time to heal... (he is a special needs right now until he has gained back his weight.)
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.

Every year some street signs need replacing due to weathering, accidents, or theft.
Here are several that will be put up soon by village employees.
The street named High is the stolen most often, for some reason. The new signs are larger and more reflective. Ada has more than the usual number of visitors due to the university, festivals, and sports events at two stadiums. (Monty Siekerman photo)
