Local Pets Available For Adoption

LACEY – The Associated Humane Society shelter at the Popcorn Park Zoo has pets available for adoption.

Suzie is an incredibly friendly girl of just over 5 years old that wants more than anything to be back in a good home. When you think about the trauma that a pet must go through, having lived all their life in a home then going to an unfamiliar place, it’s amazing how resilient they really are.

Suzie has been in a home since kittenhood and she grew up with a big, loving family. Sadly, the landlord said she had to go. Suzie is so resilient and is not going to let this get her down! She reaches out a paw at everyone that comes her way to get attention and be petted. She’s super sweet, loving, and playful too. She loves to bat around toys or just have your attention. When a neighboring kitten tried to play with her, Suzie didn’t know what to make of her, so she may do best with a cat that doesn’t

Now Is A Good Time To Plan Your Spring Garden

STAFFORD – Autumn is ideal to plan, purchase, and plant the bulbs that will blossom in your garden next spring. Take timely tips from Rutgers Master Gardener of Ocean County Deborah McCabe at 10:30 a.m. August 14, in the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch.

Deborah will explain design, layout, and bulb choices, will offer recommendations for planting, growing, and maintenance, and will demonstrate container bulb planting.

A five-year member of the Master Gardeners of Ocean County, Deborah chairs the Master Gardeners Stafford Library Outreach and also volunteers at the township’s Mill Creek Community Garden. She traces her interest in gardening to her father, who planted, planted, planted – initially as a farmer, and later as a grounds caretaker. Rutgers Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who present horticulture programs developed by the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Cooperative Extension.

Bring your garden questions and plant or insect samples to Master Gardeners for diagnosis and recommendations in the OCL Stafford Branch, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday of each month, through September.
