The kudos have been rolling in bigtime for Karin Hill’s excellent five-part series in the Jonesboro Sun on the local animal control shelter.
You may recall that Maria and Austin and I went to the shelter a couple of weekends ago to shoot photos for the series. Austin had a couple of shots published, Maria had a couple and I had one, but Karin did some fine photographic work as well.
Gracie, the border collie who escaped death by going into labor on the operating table, went to a nursing home in Manila, Ark. yesterday. Maria fielded a query from a woman yesterday who is almost certain to adopt Cotton, the great Pyrenees, and at least one of Gracie’s pups has been adopted.
The shelter management is deliriously happy about the attention they’re getting and several readers have emailed to say how much they enjoyed the series.
Karin did a brilliant job and her series should be a serious contender at contest time.
If you live in northeast Arkansas and would like to share your home with an abandoned dog, call Sgt. Larry Rogers, the Animal Control Division supervisor with the Jonesboro Police Department, at (870) 935-3920.
Three of Gracie’s pups.
One of Gracie’s pups freaks out when a dog in a neighboring kennel wants to hold paws.

How far away is Kansas from Arkansas, cuz I want those little guys!!!
Arkansas is the next state south of Missouri and Jonesboro is in the northeast corner of the state. Just go to maps.google.com, click on DIRECTIONS, input your location and Jonesboro, AR and, voila!, distance and driving time.
beautiful photos of those dogs, as you know
