ON THE COVER<br />
CAPTAIN CHEWIE was found by Henderson County Animal Control in a<br />
ditch in poor condition. He was thin, had no hair, painful, bleeding skin and his<br />
extremely injured eye needed to be removed quickly. Without immediate care,<br />
it was doubtful he would survive. Western Carolina Regional Animal Hospital<br />
stepped up and removed his eye and began caring for his injury and skin—<br />
in-house and pro bono. They could see that this poor boy was very loving<br />
despite his condition—and they kept him for a month. Chewie is now at Blue<br />
Ridge Humane Society and seeking his forever home. If you’re interested in<br />
adopting this super sweetheart, submit an application at blueridgehumane.org.<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. While COVID continues to be active, thereby limiting the number<br />
of locations we can distribute, we have made the decision to publish monthly<br />
online only at www.crittermagazine.com. Advertising and editorial deadline is<br />
the 15 th of the month for the following month’s issue. We welcome letters to<br />
the editor, comments and suggestions, as well as informative articles and<br />
stories which are relevant to our goals.<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 />
Critter Magazine is a publication of Critter Communications, LLC.<br />
