The Santa Monica Animal Shelter aids dogs and cats, and sometimes Guinea pigs and other small house pets are available. Immediate needs are for animal lovers to adopt, foster, and spread the word. The Santa Monica Shelter Foundation has a list of approximately 14 dogs and several cats posted on their website. The dogs listed are either a German Shepherd mix or pit bull mix, and larger breed dogs. There was one French Bulldog mix posted. One of the dogs resembled the Target Store’s mascot. Another likened the black and white dogs that often play in pre-school sing-a-long television shows. Some may recall the lyrics, …and “Bingo was his name-o!” Canyon News reached out for more information but did not hear back before print. Those interested are asked to stop by to see all of the animals available. Hours of operation are from Tuesday through Saturday: 8 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. Dog food, puppy food, cat food, cat litter, and toys may be donated to the Santa Monica Animal Shelter located at 1640 9th St, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Monetary donations are also accepted.   By Sharon
