New Policy: Publisher helps animals in need

FERRIS -  Due to a litter of kittens dumped off at The Ellis County Press office
on Thanksgiving, Publisher Charles D. Hatfield Jr. is changing the way the paper
does things.
“From now on, if someone needs to run a classified for a lost or found animal,
we will run it free of charge,” said Hatfield at the Monday, Nov. 28 staff
meeting of the ECP.
“It saddens me someone would just abandon an animal like that, if they need a
home I want to help them find a loving home.”
The policy goes into effect immediately and is only good for legitimate people
looking for homes of a lost/found pet, not to breeders selling dogs or cats.
To place a classified call 972-544-2369 Monday- Friday from 9 a.m- 5 p.m.
If interested in a free black and white kitten please call 469-285-9749 anytime
and ask for Megan.
