Adopt This Pet: Khloe, a Chihuahua-terrier mix

Despite a tough beginning, Khloe is more than ready for a special family to adopt her.

Khloe is a darling Chihuahua-terrier mix who is about 3 years old.  Motley Zoo Animal Rescue of Redmond rescued her after she was surrendered to a local veterinarian due to medical expenses. She had been shot by someone with a BB gun and was going to require surgery. Her leg was actually broken due to the shot. Soon her cast will be off and she will be ready to run around again.

Khloe is great with other dogs, although she likes those equal to her size best. She also enjoys children (8 years and older, please) and in addition to being crate trained, she is housebroken. She should be fine with cats, although she has not been tested with them yet. Usually, when a dog is being introduced to a cat, it is a slow and patient process.

Khloe is very sweet and affectionate. Her foster mom describes her as “very friendly to people.” She was surrendered with puppies (can you imagine?) so she was preoccupied with them when she first arrived.  Some days she is a bit subdued due to her leg, but Khloe is getting playful and her personality is coming out as she starts to feel better.

As with all foster dogs in Motley Zoo’s care, she will be spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and flea treated. Please see www.motleyzoo.org for further information on Khloe as well as pictures of all the dogs and cats in foster care. Once you fill out an adoption form and are approved as an adopter, Motley Zoo will arrange a time for you to meet Khloe or another pet you might be interested in. All of Motley Zoo’s animals are cared for by volunteers in private foster homes. All adoption fees go toward the veterinarian care and transport of the animals. Each dog receives a harness and leash as well as 30 days of free pet insurance.

We too, love having our Farmers' Market return! Opening day was a bit weather-challenged. ThankRead More you merchants for enduring the wet and cold for our new extended hours! What a wonderful sight will return to the plaza when the sunshine calls back all the families with happy, giggling children. Market day is a date of dinner out (side) & shopping (vegetables, fruits and now HedgeHog Toffee) with my husband. Doesn't get much better than that! SEE YOUR THERE! Susan Gerend

Agreed Mark, Much as this solution seems crazy, some things are worth paying for (law and order, aRead More decent safety net, good schools and yes roads). I do blame the tax hawks though. Washington already has a relatively regressive tax structure. The "choke the government" solution seems carried way too far.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportationRead More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored. However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served. It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.

It gets worse folks. I was part of a selected focus group a few weeks ago of people who live alongRead More I-405 conducted by a well-known marketing research firm and paid for by WSDOT. They are considering options that would charge commuters to use a new lane on I-405 & charge for the existing carpool lane too (even if you have two people in the car!)
