Ike, the dog that made traffic on the Eisenhower quite an adventure last week, has recovered and is now with a foster family. Officials still haven't been able to locate Ike's actual owner so until then, he'll stay with the new family. If Ike's owners aren't eventually located, he'll be available for permanent adoption. If you're interested, you can contact Precious Pets Almost Home at precpets(at)gmail(dot)com. You can also swing by Ike's Facebook page if you're so inclined. And as long as you're in the adopting state-of-mind, there are plenty of other great animals in need of a good home. more ›
