Anyone who has seen Ooten or has information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately. (WTOC)

Artist Stephanie Forbes's paintings showcase the shelter's "lonely hearts" residents, a title given to pets that have been housed at the shelter for more than 30 days. Forbes says she hopes every dog on the wall of her gallery will make it into a loving home. (WJCL News Savannah)
