Bonfim Festival (Festa do Bonfim)

There is a church in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, known as Our Lord of the Happy Ending (bonfim). Today during the Bonfim Festival, hundreds of Brazilian women dress in the traditional white dresses of colonial Bahia and form a procession to the church. The bahianas balance jars of water, scented with blossoms, on their heads. The washing of the steps at Bonfim Basilica on the second Thursday after Epiphany is the highlight of the festival. More...

Quote of the Day
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
But when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?

(1865-1936)

PET OF THE WEEK

Oogie is one of a kind, three legged wonderboy ! He had an injury to his front leg that unfortunately resulted in amputation, but he has not let it faze him in the slightest. He is a ball of endless energy and has never met a stranger. He runs upstairs, does zoomies around the yard, and can outrun every one of his furry foster brothers and sisters. He loves children but does jump and likes to play intensely so would be better with older children and teens. He needs lots of exercise, so he needs to be in an physically active household. He has gotten along well with smaller dogs in his foster home, but we recommend him as an only dog because his energy level can be overwhelming and irritating to other dogs. He should not be in a household with cats or other small animals. Oogie is accustomed to stairs, a fenced yard, and lots of activity. He loves to ride but will not jump in a vehicle on his own. Did you enjoy Tigger's adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood? With Oogie, it’s just like having your very own Tigger, and that is a wonderful thing!
 
     This week the Shelter took in 58 new animals!  10 were able to find their forever homes through adoption, and 1 dog was returned to her owner.  33 animals were sent to our rescue partners.
 
We are constantly in need of pet foster parents.  Fostering a pet can be short- or long-term.  When you foster an animal, you are providing it a loving home and a chance to socialize with humans and perhaps other pets.  You, in return, receive the reward of the unconditional love of a pet.  It’s a worthwhile experience.  Please contact the Monroe County Animal Shelter at 423-442-1015.
