Drusilla, FEMALE DOG
Sweet Drusilla is a shy, laidback German Shepherd mix who
came to the shelter as a stray. This 2-year-old doesn’t like the shelter and is
still adjusting to the loud sounds and smells. Drusillay may be shy, but she
has no problem approaching you if you offer her treats. She also seems to
enjoy affection, knows basic commands and may be housetrained. Can you give
this girl a forever home and put a smile on her face? Drusilla’s adoption
fee is waived thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. She’s spayed, microchipped
and vaccinated! To meet Drusilla, visit Animal House located at 3516
Newburg rd. Tuesday-Sunday from 12-6pm. Questions? Call 473-PETS!

Marvin, MALE CAT
Marvin has been at the shelter for more than 100 days and
really needs a home! Unfortunately, his owner became ill and could no
longer care for him. This 4-year-old loves to observe the activity around him,
but is quite independent most of the time. He needs a home without any other
cats or dogs so he’ll get all of the attention! Marvin is currently
enjoying a change of scenery and is hoping someone will see him at the Petco on
Shelbyville rd. and adopt him. His adoption fee is waived thanks to the Pay It
Forward Program. Marvin is already neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
To meet him, please stop by Petco. For more info about Marvin, email Louisville
Metro Animal Services at animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov,
or call 473-PETS.

Do you love your veggies? New Roots would love to hear from
you!
The Fresh Stop Markets (FSM) are run by leaders in a
grassroots food justice movement that operates from the belief that fresh food
is a basic human right. FSMs are volunteer, community-driven farm-fresh food
markets that pop up bi-weekly at local churches and community centers in
neighborhoods that do not have grocery stores or farmers’ markets. Shareholders
(“customers”) agree to cooperate and pay ahead of time, on an income-based
sliding scale, for ten varieties of seasonal, local, organic produce that can
then be picked up at a given time and day, at one of the 17 different Kentucky
and southern Indiana Markets. This cooperation and financial commitment ensures
that farmers don’t face the same degree of risk as with traditional farmers’
markets. The sliding scale means food is affordable and everyone is included.
WIC participants pay $6, those at or below 185 percent
federal poverty guidelines pay $12, others pay $25, and those who would like to
invest in the community pay $40. SNAP IS ACCEPTED. Everyone
gets the same food! At every Market a chef hosts a cooking demonstration,
offering samples and recipes for the very same vegetables and fruits that
shareholders bring home. There is a diverse, family reunion atmosphere. Food
justice workshops and the Fresh Stop Training Institute (FSTI) organize Fresh
Stop Market leaders to unite around the pursuit of a healthy, just food system
for all.
The growing season kicks off the week of June 4th.
The location and times of the New Roots Fresh Stop Markets for 2018 can be
found on our website at https://newroots.org/fresh-stop-markets/
or by calling 502-509-6770, Ext. 0, or by emailing info@newroots.org. We look forward to
hearing from everyone soon. Your veggies are waiting!
