As of Nov. 23, Wallee had an unfortunate anniversary at Adams County Pet Rescue - he’d been at the shelter for a year. His caretakers at ACPR say he has a playful disposition and is full of joy. He loves people and other dogs and enjoys walks and playing with his toys. Wallee will need a yard with a tall fence as he’s prone to climbing over them and should not be in a home with cats. Like all of the pets available for adoption at ACPR, Wallee is up to date on all of his shots and has been neutered and has a microchip. For more information on Wallee and his fellow furry friends at ACPR, visit www.adamscountypetrescue.com or call the shelter at 509-488-5514. The shelter is also welcoming donations to help support the four-legged members of the Columbia Basin community.

About 104 homes are planned at the former Atlas sawmill site
Teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers who keep Coeur d’Alene running will soon have more places to buy a home in the community where they work. About 104 homes are being planned to be built at Atlas Waterfront, on roughly 10 acres that are part of a swath of land that was once home to the Atlas sawmill and is being redeveloped. Ignite CDA, the city of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, is leading this effort.
