ON THE COVER<br />
MARLEY is a sweet 9-year old senior who is looking for her<br />
new forever family. She has excellent house manners, is crate– and<br />
housetrained, sleeps quietly all night and is also very smart! Although<br />
Marley is getting older, she still gets frisky, with tug & fetch being her<br />
favorite games. She’s a great companion and really loves belly rubs<br />
& snuggles on the couch. Marley is in the care of Asheville Humane<br />
Society and currently being fostered. Contact them at 828-761-2001.<br />

no personality surprises ...<br />

Won’t you consider<br />
adopting a senior pet?<br />
Critter Magazine is an animal adoption publication dedicated to<br />
improving the quality of life for animals through education, support of spay/<br />
neuter efforts and encouraging responsible pet ownership, as well as helping<br />
to find loving homes for animals in need. Although the majority of the animals<br />
profiled are dogs and cats, we will feature any animal that is in need<br />
of adoption. We publish each month and distribute throughout Asheville,<br />
Buncombe, Madison, Haywood, Henderson, Transylvania and Yancey<br />
counties. Advertising and editorial deadline is the 15 th of the month for the<br />
following month’s issue. We welcome letters to the editor, comments and<br />
suggestions, as well as informative articles and stories which are relevant to<br />
our goals.<br />
Subscriptions are available for $24 per year.<br />
Critter Magazine cannot screen either potential adopters or animals for health or<br />
temperament. We urge all parties to act responsibly in these matters. All animals<br />
adopted through Critter Magazine must be spayed or neutered prior to adoption.<br />
