One of the great pleasures of the Holiday Season is the opportunity to exchange warm greeting with those whose friendships and goodwill we value so highly. In this spirit of friendship, we would like to say “Thank You” and extend our sincere appreciation for the very pleasant association we enjoy with you.

May a bright and prosperous New Year bring happiness to you and your family and may it be long remembered for its beautiful moments. Warmest Wishes Lil Montalvo & Mercy Dimitriu

Then: The corner of Mission St. and El Molino Ave. in 1999 was an abandoned Now: 2670 Mission St. is now home to Serafina and other offices.While the gas station before developers came in and built the two-story structure that lot has changed, the ficus in font has stayed put; growing into a mature tree 17 stands today. years later. Pets of the Week These cuties are available for adoption at the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society

SKULLY is the definition of “adorable”. It’s hard to find a cuter dog than this little guy. Skully is about 2-years-old and weighs in at a very petite 7.5 pounds, so he would be very easy to carry around with you everywhere you go, and he would enjoy the journeys. He is thought to be a wire-haired Fox terrier and Chihuahua mix, although only a DNA test will tell for sure. Skully has a happy personality and is friendly with people as well as other dogs. Skully will bring happiness and fun wherever he goes, and he would love to go home with a family that can give him the play time and exercise he needs. He would benefit from some training to show what a clever dog he can be as well. Come and meet this happy little boy – you will find him irresistible! His adoption fee is $40 this month, which includes neuter surgery, a microchip, first vaccinations and a free wellness check-up at a participating veterinarian. PERRY is a handsome dog who came to the shelter as a stray. Perry is being called a Chihuahua mix, but he is larger and sturdier than most Chihuahuas, so he no doubt is more “mix.” He weighs about 20 pounds and has a short coat of brown fur with white highlights. Perry is estimated to be about 6-years-old. Perry is friendly with people and seems to enjoy being with other dogs as well. He is an active dog who enjoys going for walks with our volunteers. Perry is also quite playful, and is very interested in fetching and chewing toys. If you have the time and patience to devote to training an active dog, Perry might be just what you are looking for. His adoption fee is $40 this month, which includes neuter surgery, a micro- chip, first vaccinations and a free wellness check-up at a participating veterinarian.

To meet either of these pets or any of the others looking for their forever homes, visit the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society at 851 E. Grand Ave. in San Gabriel Tuesday - Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call (626) 286-1159 or visit www.sgvhumane.org
