Pet of the week

They all say Sugar is sweet! Sugar is a wonderful Yellow Lab/Australian Shepherd mix 2-year-old spayed female. She would make a great family dog or companion for an older person. Sugar does however need a securely fenced yard as she likes to explore and she gets along great with other dogs. She would benefit from some obedience classes. The shelter is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and closed every other Friday for intensive cleaning of the kennels. The shelter will be closed this Friday. For more information call the Cortez Animal Shelter at 970-565-4910.
