PET OF THE WEEK

Body
WEEK Alpine Humane Society Pet of the Week is Binx. Binx says, “I’m an elite predator. I know my way around hunting my toys, and my sneak attacks are flawless. I gladly will show my sister and brother my strength as I wrestle them.” “Don’t get me wrong though - a cuddle with a small head rub is the purrrfect way to wind down after a workout. If you are a hunter, too, maybe we can compare our skills. Please come by the Shelter to meet me today!” Don’t miss Alpine Humane Society’s Burger Basket Fundraiser on September 15 at Skelton’s Runway.
