Hey CDA Local Buzz Folks, we would like you to meet Zander ❤️. ZANDER is a two-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix who knows few basic commands, and is eager to learn more, especially if treats are involved. He is a good boy who would thrive with an experienced bully breed owner. If you think this handsome face could be your perfect companion, come meet Zander at Companions Animal Center and he would love to be your forever pet if you adopted him 🙏.

Companions Animal Center, formerly Kootenai Humane Society, has cared for and found homes for unwanted animals for over 45 years. Please visit our website companionsanimalcenter.org for more information or stop by Tuesdays through Sundays starting at noon each day. They have many ways in which you can give to their causes, so please CLICK HERE to donate if you would like 🙏.

Whether you are a business owner in Coeur d’Alene or the surrounding areas and would like to have your business “Spotlighted” in one of our articles or Video Business Spotlight, let us know by email. Feel free to let a business that you love know about this - we’d love to support them too!
