Bullet, a 5-year-old Shetland sheepdog, is what Mike Lamont refers to as “a real rags-to-riches story” when it comes to dog adoption.
“His former family was on a camping trip, and Bullet broke his leg at four months old,” said Lamont, who is founder and executive director of the nonprofit Heart’s Promise Sheltie Rescue. “They brought her to the rescue and just said, ‘Well she broke her leg, she’s basically damaged goods, so here she is and we’re going to go get another puppy.’ ”

3 Shaler athletes sign on with colleges
Three Shaler Area High School students signed National Letters of Intent on Feb. 3 to continue their academic and athletic careers.
Shaler Area School District has again extended its remote learning period, this time through Jan. 15.
Superintendent Sean Aiken alerted families through a letter that students will return to the classroom for hybrid instruction beginning Jan. 19 for Cohort A and Jan. 21 for Cohort B.
January 18 is a regularly scheduled in-service day.
The letter is posted to the district’s website.
This is the second extension given to the virtual learning model this month. Students originally were expected to return from winter break and head back to district buildings on Jan. 4, and then on Jan. 11.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to extend (it) for one additional week,” Aiken wrote.
