Bruno and Cleto are begging for someone to come and adopt them.🤍 Best case scenario, they can be adopted together because they absolutely love each other. They love to wrestle and play together and are so much fun to watch!

They don’t have to be adopted together and can absolutely go to separate homes but we just wanted to mention how sweet it is to see how much these two get along.

Both boys are approximately 1–2 years old. They are both neutered and up to date on their vaccinations. Come meet Bruno and Cleto and give one (or both) of these sweet boys the forever home they deserve!

UPDATE and INFORMATION: Good afternoon. I want to update you all on a few items. First, as you know, next weekend is Monterey Days, starting Friday evening and running through Monday at noon. Like in years past, the downtown will be closed. The block between Main and Washington (next to the Sportsman’s proper) will be closed off completely. For everyone who lives here and has been through a festival, we all know the drill.

Once again, the town will be providing a Sheriff's officer for security that weekend, and he will be walking around the town proper. Next Thursday evening we will be having Arrow services again, fogging the town for mosquitoes. We know that they are a problem right now but that is the schedule, so please bear with it for the next week. We ask when mowing to please not blow grass into the streets and to mow discharge away from the curbs. The traffic in town will be busy, so please be extra mindful of folks walking as well as children. The Sportsman's clean-up will begin after Labor Day weekend with a exact start date to be determined as some more paperwork is being done by the state. We understand and have always done everything we can to help the county in their efforts to deal with this issue. As they oversee this project, we simply ask folks to be mindful and to be patient and follow the blockades, but we look for a start date to be on schedule for the most part. We ask folks to please over the festival weekend to be respectful of residents' property and to obey all laws like always. Finally, we say that we wish the best of success to the festival committee. Like anything, there will always be those who grumble, complain and will be negative, but that is to be expected to a certain degree. Simply try to enjoy yourself and the events that will be going on.
