Pet.RobinMeet Robin, a blond Labrador that was transferred from a local shelter to Operation Kindness for a better chance at finding a loving home. He will not need a great deal of grooming; a good brushing two to three times weekly will do. Robin is a very friendly boy. He would love to have a home with a yard. If you’re ready for a dog — and a smart one at that — come meet Robin and give him the loving home he deserves.

Robin 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.
