Meet Prince. Prince is a male Pomeranian mix. He is 7 years old. Prince is a special needs dog. He has a dislocated hip that was never fixed so he cannot put his back leg down. He also had to be shaved due to the condition of his coat.. He is playful and very sweet. He gets around like there is nothing wrong with him. Can you give Prince a 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.

The annual membership drive for the Ada Music Boosters is in progress. A flyer was mailed to Ada households in June. The Boosters encourage you to return it with a contribution towards this year’s fund-raising drive.
With the help of the Ada community, the Music Boosters are able to enhance music education and the performance-based programming for the Ada Schools.
The Music Boosters purchase choir robes, band uniforms, instruments, Varsity Singer costumes, props and music which support Ada’s state and regional award-winning winter guard, marching band and show choir.
