The always-popular sale of the Ada Bulldog Cards by students of the Ada School Music Department is in progress. This year’s version of the discount card offers free food and other money-saving offers for Ada, Kenton, Bluffton and Lima area restaurants and businesses.
The 2017-2018 Bulldog cards are good immediately, can be used repeatedly, and do not expire until 8/31/2018. Bulldog cards can be purchased individually for $10 each. The cost is able to be recouped after just a few uses.
The Bulldog Card is a major annual fundraiser of the Ada Music Boosters.
Meet Sammy. Sammy is a 4 year old neutered male shepherd mix. He weighs 47 pounds. No kids, please. Can you give Sammy 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.
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 first six months of this year found a duplex, a home, and a church addition, plus assorted fences, decks, and storage sheds built in Ada. ONU demolished a house on Ballard and Karlton Plaugher removed a house trailer on Lincoln.
Pictured here: work continues on a $200,000 duplex on Autumn Drive by Myler Construction. Two similar duplexes have been built by Myler in the past year or so, as shown in the background of the photo.
Zoning permits were granted to Clint Mathewson for a $250,000 single family home at 1136 Beech St. and a $245,000 addition to Grace Gospel Church, 321 N. Gilbert St.
