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.

PET OF THE WEEK

"Gizmo is the featured Pet of the Week at the Monroe County Animal Shelter. Gizmo is an 8 year old Terrier mix that was surrendered to the shelter due to the death of his owner. He was brought to us by Animal Control after the family called. He had not had much social interaction with humans before coming to us, but since turned into a a snugly cutie pie that loves to be with kids and families. He gets along well with other dogs, just a delight and needs a forever family to love him.

All animals adopted from the animal shelter are spayed or neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations and are micro-chipped with registration. Cats are tested for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus, plus dogs are tested for heart worms. 

The shelter stats this week are: Intake-46, Adoptions-11, which  included a really good mix...1SCP (Second Chance Pals) dog and 3 SCP cats. Transfers-13 and 1 return to owner.
