POWMeet Lawrence, a fun-loving 10-week-old Border Collie mix. He came to Operation Kindness from another shelter in search of a
home to call his own. He’s a polite guy who waits calmly when you approach his room, and he’s very generous with his toys. He ‘s still a baby with lots of energy, so he’ll need training and regular exercise, and he’ll be a big boy when fully grown. His short black and white coat won’t need much grooming. If your family is ready for a new puppy, come see if Lawrence is the right one for you.

Lawrence and other pets are available for adoption from Operation Kindness, 3201 Earhart Drive, Carrollton. The no-kill shelter is open six days: Monday, 3-8 p.m.; closed Tuesday; Wednesday, 3-8 p.m.; Thursday, noon-8 p.m.; Friday, noon- 5 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. The cost is $110 for cats, $135 for kittens, $150 for dogs over 1 year, and $175 for puppies. The cost includes the spay/neuter surgery, microchipping, vaccinations, heartworm test for dogs, leukemia and FIV test for cats, and more. Those who adopt two pets at the same time receive a $20 discount.
