Head Start Recruiting Now
Local Head Start programs are
now recruiting 3 and 4 year olds for the
2019-20 school year. A large percent-
age of students will be selected in June.
Staff suggests that parents apply now to
have their family included in the first
selection.
Heads Start offers a compre-
hensive preschool experience free of
charge to qualifying families. A de-
velopmentally appropriate classroom
curriculum taught by certified teachers
offers all children the opportunity to be
kindergarten ready.
The program offers parents op-
portunities to learn and grow along with
their children; receive guidance to com-
plete medical, dental and nutritional as-
sessments; get on the job training in the
early childhood field, and learn about
local opportunities for the whole family.
Children receive USDA ap-
proved lunch plus breakfast and/or
afternoon snack on each day of class.
(Head Start and USDA are both equal
opportunity providers.)

Purr-fect Pals Featured Dog
Freddie came to the shelter as part of a
recent transport. He is about a year old
and is such a love bug. He is a bigger
kid, weighing in around 10 lbs. He is
very friendly, likes to get pets, and does
not seem to mind the other cats. We do
not have a history on him so we are
unsure how he is going to do with dogs
in the home. Freddie will not be suitable
for a home with young kids as he has a tendency to get over stimulated at
times. He is very fun and loves to play with his toys.
His adoption fee is $125 which includes all his vaccinations, his
neuter, microchip, leukemia test, FIV test, and heart worm test.

Bella is about 45 lbs and is just a little over 6 years old. She came to
the shelter as an owner surrender after she got herself into some
trouble with some chickens. This girl is amazing; she loves other
dogs, kids, and she doesn't even mind cats. She is going to do best
in a home where she won’t be left alone, and one with other dogs,
as she likes to hang out with them and becomes distressed when
isolated. She is wonderful on her leash and is very happy going for
walks and getting loves.
If you are interested in meeting Bella please don't hesitate
to call 503-397-4353 or email animalwelfare@columbiahumane.org
to make arrangements. All adoptions start by having an approved application on file which can be
sent to you by email upon your request or can be found on our website. Bella's adoption fee is $250.
She is spayed, current on her vaccines, microchipped, and treated for fleas and worms.
