The following cats and dogs are among those available for adoption through The Animal Center:

LANCASTER was picked up by an Animal Center volunteer as a âFree-To-Good-Homeâ kitten. She had been living on a farm in a shed. Lancaster is approximately 4 months old, she adapts quickly to new situations, immediately began using a litterbox without accidents, and is extremely trusting. Lancaster is a particularly sweet and happy kitten. She is spayed and current on vaccines.

LESLIE is a 1 year old cat looking for her forever home. Before coming to The Animal Center, Leslie was living in a hole of an abandoned cement foundation. Happy to be warm and fed, Leslie loves to lavish affection with cuddles and kisses. She is spayed and current on vaccines.

SPECKLES was left behind when her owner moved. She spent months living on her own until a neighbor spotted her and made the connection that she was abandoned. Speckles did not get a lot of love and attention as a kitten and therefore sheâs a little weary, but The Animal Center is certain she will thrive in a patient and loving home. Speckles loves to purr and is really glad to be inside during these cold days. She is spayed and current on vaccines.

OSCAR is a 14 week old male beagle/hound mix. Heâs friendly, neutered and up to date on vaccines.

EMMY is a 14 week old beagle/hound mix. She plays very well with other dogs and would make a perfect family pet. She is spayed and current on vaccines.

KAHLUA is a female Shepherd mix, and is approximately 14 weeks old. She has a mellow temperament but is still playful and sheâs very smart. She gets along with everyone. Kahlua is spayed and current on vaccines.

STONE is a 3 year old Border Collie mix who was pulled just minutes from being euthanized. Stone would do best in a home with older children and adults. He is playful and very obedient. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. The Animal Center asks that you consider opening your home to an older dog.

PAPRIKA is a playful, seven month old hound/lab mix who is very friendly. He gets along great with other dogs, heâs crate trained and up to date on vaccines.Â

JOSEPHINE is an 11 week old Lab/Dalmatian mix. She is spayed, very sweet, great with every she meets and current on vaccines.

TEDDY is an energetic, two year old Chi mix. He gets along great with other dogs and crate trained. He would do best in an adult home as he is not good with children.Â

Good news: Snickers has been adopted.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The Plastic Problem

Making America: The Story Of An Immigrant

Snapshot: Andy Ashla

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
