Before and after: TRANSFORMATION AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY- Before and after photos show this delightful male, neutered , white poodle that the Humane Society calls " Precious" has gone through a total transformation. He was found very dirty, and in desperate need of a trim. Precious already knows how to walk on a leash, and is very lovable and would make an excellent indoor/outdoor pet. We also have kittens and adult cats to choose from, come by and check out all of the animals that are up for adoption at the Humane Society. We still have our Low-Income Spay/Neuter Program, call for an appointment at 863-2616. [Courtesy Photo]
