LADASHA

9 year old black and tricolor Beagle
Hello! Ever see a Beagle with a black face before? I’m Ladasha, a mature lady who enjoy the finer things in life. 

Belly rubs? Exquisite. Sniffing things on the ground? Magnificent. Afternoon naps? Divine.

I’ve already gotten a lot of my puppy play out of my system, and now I’m ready to be an easy-going companion. That’s not to say that I’m not affectionate and friendly; I am! But jumping all over people and making a fuss is not my style – for that you should talk to my suitemate Skittle!

I get along well with most other dogs and I do great with kids. I hate to brag, but I think I’d be a perfect all-around dog. As long as you don’t mind taking long walks while I sniff the ground, I think we’ll get along just fine! Won’t you come meet me today at Animal Friends?

JASPAR

1 year, 8 month old black and tan Siberian Husky and Australian Cattle Dog
Jaspar is an energetic guy with the cutest expressions. He is friendly and affectionate with people, and he enjoys other dogs and loves to play.

Not much is known of Jaspar’s past, but it doesn’t appear that he has had the joy of spending time training or taking obedience classes. He does know the basic commands of sit and shake but hopefully this will only be the start of a lifetime of learning and fun for Jaspar and his new companion. 

Due to his adolescence and high exercise requirements, it is recommended that Jaspar be adopted by an active family with good experience. He enjoys riding in the car and would be a great companion on day trips to the park for a nice stroll or jog. 

Jaspar looks forward to finding his forever home, where he can be an important member of the family. If you think Jaspar is the one…..stop by Animal Friends to meet him, he will be waiting.

CHUCK

2 year old black Labrador retriever mix
Looking for a big love bug that you can cuddle with? Well, Chuck is your guy!

He has spent time in a foster home and his foster dad said that he is a very sweet boy! He is very quiet and affectionate and loved placing his head in his foster dad’s lap and getting lots of pats. He was extremely well mannered in the house and is progressing well with basic commands such as “sit” and “stay.” 

And guess what!!!   Chuck is housebroken! He loves going for walks and playing with his toys. He needs to be in a home where he is the only pet and would benefit from some additional training. Chuck does need a home with no other animals…Also, he would probably benefit from a home with older children because of his size. 

Chuck is back in the shelter waiting for his forever family to find him, so come on down to Animal Friends and start the adoption process!

easy slow-roasted beef tenderloin

When was the last time you had a Sunday Family Dinner? Try this great recipe and gather everyone around the dinner table this weekend!
ingredients
•1  2 to 2-1/2-pound  beef tenderloin
•2  tablespoons  cooking oil
•1  to 2 cloves  garlic, minced
•1  teaspoon  cracked black pepper
•1/4  teaspoon  salt or 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt*
•4  sprigs  fresh rosemary
•4  sprigs  fresh oregano
•4  sprigs  fresh thyme
•1  recipe  Mushroom Tumble and/or Horseradish Cream
• Snipped fresh thyme
directions
1. Preheat oven to 250F. Drizzle meat with oil. Rub garlic evenly over the surface of the tenderloin. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Set aside.
2. Place rosemary, oregano, and thyme sprigs in the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Add a roasting rack. Place tenderloin on rack.
3. Roast tenderloin, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425F. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 135F. Remove from oven. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 10 minutes.
4. Serve roast with Mushroom Tumble and/or Horseradish Cream. Garnish with snipped fresh thyme. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
5. *Note: Sea salt is derived from evaporated sea water. It has a bright, pure, clean flavor. Kosher salt is used in the preparation of meat according to Jewish dietary law. Kosher salt comes in flakes, not granules. Because it dissolves easily, its taste isn’t as strong as regular salt.
6. Mushroom Tumble: In very large bowl place 6 cups assorted mushrooms, such as chanterelle, portobello, shiitake, and oyster (halve or slice any large mushrooms and remove any tough stems). Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce; toss to combine. In a 12-inch skillet cook mushrooms over medium heat until about 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper.
7. Horseradish Cream: In a small bowl stir together one 8-ounce carton dairy sour cream, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 3 days. If refrigerated, let stand for 30 minutes before serving. Makes 1 cup.
