WEEK Alpine Humane Society Pet of the Week is Cedar. Cedar is agile, alert, and ready for adventure. He’s handsome, intelligent, and friendly, and with his high-speed good looks, some might even call him “tacticool.” Cedar is the whole package, brave, adventurous, sweet, and affectionate, equally at home on the trail or getting belly rubs on the rug. This two-year-old is very athletic and is looking for an owner to walk, hike, run or bike with him. He will need a daily commitment to exercise and attention.
