Pet of the week
Today's Weather
Hi, my name is Missy. I am a female
cat available for adoption at the Humane
Society of Eastern Oregon Pet Rescue in
Hermiston.
I was surrendered by my owner, and
I need a new home. I’ve already had my
shots. I am 1 to 2 years old and can be
adopted for $30. I come with a free vet
check and a three-day return policy. If I
am spayed within 60 days of adoption, my
owner will receive a $20 refund.
If you are interested in welcoming Mis-
sy to your family, please stop by the hu-
mane society at 1844 N.W. Geer Road,
Hermiston, or call 541-564-6222.

line.

“100 Years, What a Ride” and must have

produced digitally at smaller and larger
