Animal shelter running adoption fee deal in July
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — If you're looking for a pet, go to the Hutchinson Animal Shelter between now and the end of the month and you can save some money. "It's a program called Empty the Shelters," said Michaela Schommer with the Hutchinson Animal Shelter. "If you know anything about Bissell, the brand, Bissell is, most people know of them as the vacuums, Bissell Vacuums and Carpet Cleaners. They have a nonprofit branch, a foundation that they formed, and they fundraise and they donate to animal welfare organizations nationally. The Bissell Foundation is an incredible animal welfare foundation, and we appreciate them. They are currently sponsoring, for any shelter that's participating right now through July 31st, sponsoring portions of our adoption fees, which is allowing then shelters to be able to reduce those adoption fees. And we are doing all of our dogs, whether it's a dog, adult dog or a puppy or senior, at a flat $50 adoption fee. And then all of our cats, whether it's an adult or kitten, at a $25 adoption fee."

"This takes place in around circa 1960 in New York, Skid Row," said Cliff Riggs, who is the voice of the puppets and helped design sets for the production. "It's down and out section, downtown-ish area in Mushnick's Flower Shop. It's a failing flower shop as bums, winos, just vagrants all over the place. You have Seymour, an orphan he took in off the street, and love interest Audrey that also works in the flower shop, and then it comes into the picture this pod, this plant, this unknowing species.Turns out it's a plant from outer space that has a liking to blood, but not just any blood, but to human blood, so the story just evolves from there."
