Orb and Moony came to Adams County Pet Rescue with some other pups a while ago. Staff at the shelter were surprised that the house-trained pets were only six months old. Both are pretty sweet. Orb can get spooked easily, but has gotten better in time and no longer nips when startled. The pair were surrendered because the family they were with had too many dogs per their landlord.
For more information, or to adopt Orb and Moony, – or any of the other residents at ACPR – contact Adams County Pet Rescue in Othello at 509-488-5514 or download an adoption application from our website at adamscountypetrescue.com. The shelter is located at 1961 W. Bench Road in Othello.

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.
