Pet adoption of the week: meet Dirk

SPONSORED CONTENT — Meet Dirk, a 4-year-old Mexican Potcake. He's up-to-date on shots and neutered. He's around 70 lbs, so not a small dog. Dirk is very nervous at first but once he warms to his people, he is very sweet and gentle. He seems good with other dogs. We aren't sure yet about cats. He does have a fair bit of energy, so enjoys a good run. This dog would prefer a quiet home since he is nervous of noises and lots of commotion. Please call the Grey Bruce Animal Shelter (GBAS) at 519-372-1911 if you have a place for this handsome fellow.

Largely volunteer-based, the GBAS receives no financial assistance from any level of government and is 100% funded by adoption fees, private donations and fundraising events. The shelter is located at 457437 Concession Rd 8 S, Municipality of Meaford.

Although COVID-19 protocols have been relaxed, the GBAS is continuing to arrange animal visits by appointment. It allows volunteers/staff to spend enough time with prospective adopters as well as people surrendering animals. Face masks are optional.

For further information regarding surrenders, adoptions, donations and volunteering, please visit us at grey-bruceanimalshelter.com or Facebook at Friends of the Grey Bruce Animal Shelter or Instagram at Grey Bruce Animal Shelter.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.

Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
