Shelters seek homes for playful cat, energetic dog Local animal rescue agencies are looking for people to adopt a 5-year-old Russian Blue cat and a 2-year-old American Staffordshire terrier mix.

He also likes other dogs of all sizes, but rather than live at the league’s main shelter at 25 N. 40th St., Phoenix, he would be much happier in someone’s home, she added.

Upon capture, he triumphantly carries his toy to a little hidey-hole to relish in his victory,” she added. All this makes Miles “an absolute joy to watch,” she said.

Library reopens Cale Pittullo-Hamilton, 5, of Ahwatukee checks books out of 6-year-old Anna Wolcott's Little Free Library after she reopened for business last Saturday. The library was stolen July 4, only a week after Anna had set it up in front of her Ahwatukee home, but was found about six weeks later and returned to the little girl. There were refreshments at the reopening and she received boxes of donated books.
