The Animal Foundation is joining shelters across the country October 3 -5 for Mars Global Adoption Weekend. Every animal in their care will have their adoption fee waived, thanks to the generous support of Mars, Adopt A Pet Shelter Plus, and PEDIGREE Foundation. That means adoption fees will be waived for all dogs, cats, and small animals.
There will be the usual adoption process to get through. A $10 pet license fee might apply. Check their website to see who is available and get there early if you think you have found a match. Doors open at 11. You can join the wait list starting at 8. Check the website to see how that works.
Pets will be vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. Find more info and check available pets at "Get Tickets" or at https://animalfoundation.com/.

One Book, One Henderson is an annual event aiming to get everyone talking about the same book. Books are available at libraries and online. This year’s selection, The Fox Wife, is by Yangsze Choo. It begins in 1908 Manchuria and explores a world of mortals and spirits, humans and beasts, and their dazzling intersections. Epic in scope and full of singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depths of maternal love, and ancient folktales that might very well be true.
On October 1 the author will be at the Henderson Multigenerational Center (250 S. Green Valley Parkway) for a book signing. You can get a copy there.
It's free, but go to "Get Tickets" and you can find out more, hear music related to the book's setting, see art inspired by The Fox Wife, participate in a book club discussion, and find links to the ebook and audiobook.
