November is the time of the year when trees begin to turn in East Texas. This dogwood on Logansport is a perfect example of November’s glory.

When I heard we were moving, I thought I would be going along with my family. Unfortunately, they broke the news to me that I wasn't allowed live at their new home so here I am, a year old, neutered male cat named Cheddar at the Nacogdoches Animal Shelter. It makes me sad, like my friend Jessi, a spayed lab shepherd mix who is about three-years-old and is missing a home too. We are both housebroken and up to date on shots. Jessi even has a microchip already and she really loves to be around children and babies. We are both great companions for families, if only someone would come see how great we really are and take us to our new homes! Visit us at the Nacogdoches Animal Shelter located at 3211 SW Stallings Drive, hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. For more information, call 936-560-5011 or visit www.nacogdoches.petfinder.com.
