📰 News we're reading
• Featured Pet of The Day- Beethoven (ozarkradionews.com) — Mountain Grove Animal Control is urgently seeking a licensed rescue to save Beethoven, a 9‑month‑old greyhound/poodle mix at risk of euthanasia due to stress-related behavior in the crowded shelter. Staff believe he'll thrive in a foster or rescue setting and can help transport him within a reasonable distance of Mountain Grove, so qualified rescues are encouraged to contact them immediately.
