Our Pets of the Week, both new to the shel- ter, are Moses and Festus.
Both are gentle little boy dogs, about three years old, wishing they had someone to call their human Mom on this Mothers Day.
Moses is a terrier mix and Festus is prob- ably a Chihuahua mix.
Moses was found in the Church/Indianola area snd Festus was picked up in the 1600 block of Harrison.
Also at the shelter, hoping you will come by to meet them are Juno, Thor and Rusty.
The next big adoption event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 18, at the Clovis Tractor Supply Company.
"That's on Herndon Avenue just west of Fowler Avenue," said volunteer coordinator Kim Reed

page and leave your email address to find out about the adoption process or to make an ap- pointment to meet the dogs who are ready to be your new best friend.
Let Kim know if you're able to provide a temporary foster home for any of the shelter dogs or if you would like to be a volunteer at the shelter.
"We need more adoptions and foster homes and we need them as soon as possible," said Kim.
"We have new dogs coming in every week and we have to have some place to put them."
Also let Kim know if you can donate treats, bowls, collars, harnesses or leashes.
"We would really like to have more 'step in' harnesses because when some of the dogs first get to the shelter they're a little skittish about having a harness put on them," said Kim.
