Pet of the Week: Sarah
Brought to you by the Paris Animal Welfare Society
Meet Sarah! Sarah is a beautiful, sweet 6-month-old Labrador Retriever mix who loves to snuggle and absolutely adores children, but has a lot of puppy energy. She is very smart and loves to play, so she would do best in a family where she could get plenty of exercise and interaction. She will probably be a medium to large dog.
For more information about Sarah, visit her profile page, visit www.pawspets.org or call 859-988-9800.
The Paris Animal Welfare Society is seeking temporary foster homes for their animals. If you would like to provide a temporary home for an animal waiting for adoption, or just provide a vacation from the shelter environment, please contact PAWS at 859-988-9800.

Hear Downtown event updates weekly on 590 -
Wednesdays at 8:40am with Jack Pattie.
