:“w‘animals. The most recent event was held on Saturday,

‘Beckemeyer, the Humane
"Society facility is only de—
signed to accommodate 23
animals, but they are cur-
rently hosting 27 puppies
and dogs.
‘ Not all animals which
are brought in are imme-
"diately up for adoption,
“as some haVe behavior or,
health issues which must
be managed before they
are eligible for adoption.
Although the work can be
heartbreaking and tedious
at times, her “love for
dogs” makes it all worth
it, stated Beckemeyer.
Unrelated to Animal
Control, the Humane So-
ciety hosts animals which

ly, due to over-population,
the shelter cannot ac-
cept all homeless animals
which are brought in to
the shelter.
Although many of these
dogs have had a rough
start, the animals which
are ready to be adopted
are sweet and friendly. An
adoption fee of $125 brings
a recovered dog home with
all their shots (including
rabies), ‘spay/neuter,‘ and
deworming.
If you are interested
in adopting an animal, or
viewing which ones are
available for adoption,
contact the Tangi Humane
Society at (985) 419—9900.
Or visit 46219 River Road
in Hammond on weekdays
from 104.
If you are interested in
adding a new fur animal
to you family, consider
adopting a rescue first
—they desperately need
you!

“Whack! Yes, Father.”
And those of us who survived will neVer forget our
lessons. And at least momentarily, it took our attention
off the curiously sweet-smelling girls we were allowed to
entswith local artists (and
vice versa) so you can fill
your home with origi-
nal, authentic pieces
that will make your soul \
soar.” Art is an incred-
ibly powerful tool, Bass
explained art’s ability to
“move the soul” and “cre-

And despite it all, when we had children of our own
we did not hesitate to send them to St. Paul and to like

ship. Ask Brendan Byard McMahon if you do not believe
me.
All praise to Catholic Schools Week!
