Feature creature

The collie seemed scared to leave her kennel-mate. The collie and her kennel-mate, a male dog with some Rottweiler in him, had been found together. They were running loose near Sprague Avenue and Evergreen Road and were brought into the shelter on Nov. 20. They had no identification, but had collars for an invisible fence.

The 5-year-old dog, which has both collie and German shepherd in her, seemed distracted when taken to a play room at the Spokane County Regional Animal Care and Protection Services shelter. Turned out, she had to let loose on the floor. While she might not be entirely housetrained, she understood the command to “sit.”

Anyone interested in adopting the collie or other animals can visit the SCRAPS shelter at 2521 N. Flora Road, call the shelter at 477-2532 or visit the Web site at www.spokanecounty.org/animal. Dogs cost $75.01 to adopt, which includes a license, neutering, vaccinations, a microchip implant and a trip to the veterinarian.
