Ready for adoption — the late edition

My apologies. It was a real week in the newsroom. I got the featured pet information from Keri at the Dutchess County SPCA on Tuesday as usual, but was too busy to post it by Thursday. And then I had car problems that had to be dealt with on Friday.

So — better late than never — here is the DCSPCA Pet of the Week. Ready for adoption. What are you waiting for?

This week's featured pet:
Diamond — Coonhound
"Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but this shining dog likes men, too! This purebred Bluetick Coonhound female will do anything from hiking to napping, with an emphasis on napping."

The Dutchess County SPCA is located at 636 Violet Avenue, Hyde Park, NY 12538. The shelter is open Sunday, Monday, Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Closed Wednesdays. Call 845-452-SPCA (7722).

Shelter pets rule.
