Pet of the week
Today's Weather
Hello, my name is Timmy. I am a male
Chihuahua/dachshund-mix available for
adoption at the Humane Society of East-
ern Oregon Pet Rescue. I am a local stray,
and I need a new home. I am 3 to 4 months
old, and I am current on all my shots. I am
good with children and other dogs, and I
can be adopted for $150. I come with a
free vet exam and a three-day return poli-
cy. If I am neutered at 6 months of age, my
owner will receive a $50 refund. If you are
interested in welcoming Timmy into your
home, please stop by Pet Rescue at 1844
N.W. Geer Road, Hermiston, or call 541-
564-6222.
