SUGARPLUM is a short haired calico and is about 3 years old. She loves people but loathes other cats. She would be wonderful company in a home with no other cats.

As long as we’ve had our 4-year-old mutt (we got her at the pound when she was 5 months old), she always cries when my wife and I come home from work or from a 10-minute outing. She greets us like we’ve been gone for days. Why does she do this?

This litter of kittens is one of many that will be available for adoption this weekend from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at PetSmart at Shops at 5. NOAH, which also offers evening hours, will have more than 25 kittens waiting for their new forever homes.

Mello and Mo, both 6-month-old kittens, are shy but like to be held. Riley is a 4-year-old border collie/black lab mix. Lisa is a 2-year-old greyhound mix in need of a good home. All are looking for good homes.

Police say they will investigate the mauling death of a small Shih Tzu puppy left at a doggie day care.

The Stoughton family that owned the dog contacted police after the lapdog was killed by three much larger dogs in a fenced yard at a doggie day care at a private house.

This section highlights shelters in the area, who have animals up for adoption. This week the focus is on dogs. And remember to help control the pet population, have your pet spayed or neutered. Thank you.
