Adirondack Save-A-Stray Pets for Adoption

Dachshund mix puppies - The mother was surrendered when the puppies were three days old. She is a registered red long hair dachshund. She weighs about 9 lbs. (The father was a wire haired Terrier.) She had eight puppies. These are the males. The females and Mom have already been adopted with Mom going to the foster who took care of them. They were born July 23 and have had 3 vaccinations and wormed three times. For more information please call the shelter at 518-654-6220.
Amelia - This little cutie is a little lab mix who was brought in with 7 siblings. She was the last of her litter to find a forever home. She is up to date on shots, wormed and vet checked. For more information on Amelia please call the shelter at 518-654-6220.
Tubbs and Ash. Another sad story and way too long to get into. We can only say that these guys were thrown out of their home into the cold. I can't imagine the fear that they felt after being inside on their favorite chair to one day face the harsh reality that they could not be indoor kitties anymore. ASAS could not leave them outside. We are filling up very fast and need adoption of our older kitties or else we will not be able to take in and give safe haven to more babies left out in the cold. Please come and adopt. These guys are up to date on vaccines and spayed and neutered. For further information on how you can rescue a kitty you can call the shelter at (518) 654-6220. photo 1 Amelia Tubbs Ash

Stillwater Commitment, Continuity – By S. McBride

The Village of Stillwater is arguably one of the most historic towns in the nation, given its vital location along routes of travel, trade, settlement and defense as the United States was born and grew.  A whole lot of historic happenings took place here as both nation and village have grown and evolved from Colonial Days into today’s electronic age.

   As with growth and change everywhere, too often we lose the links to the past, the connection to the people and events that have made us who and what we are.  How many times have we seen the destruction and replacement of those sites and buildings that tie us to those who’ve gone before, losing that vital connection to our past?
