Sylvester: Longmont Humane Society's Pet of the Week for May 6, 2012. (Longmont Humane Society)
Tips and tails

Walk this way to help animals: Join us (with your dog) for our annual fundraiser at the Boulder County Fairgrounds for Ella's Walk on May 19. Walk the three-mile route with your canine and human friends, then check out Mutt Main Street, a market filled with pet-friendly businesses. LHS staff will be offering microchipping, nail trims and dog DNA tests. Take in the Parade of Adoptable Pets and perhaps take home another family member! Learn more at longmonthumane.org.

Sylvester

The puddy tat of your dreams: Meet Sylvester. Though this handsome guy's a dead ringer for his famous Loony Toons cousin, he's much smarter, and nowhere near as obsessed with yellow birds. Sylvester's a friendly, curious 2-year-old domestic shorthair mix who'd love to animate your life. Come by and meet him today.
