FOUNTAIN VALLEY
Her tiny hand petting Jake, a homeless dog, 3-year-old Cynthia Gores said she wanted to adopt “a cow.” Her mother, momentarily shocked by the suggestion, replied, “We could have our own milk, eh?” Unfortunately for the Gores family, no cows will be up for adoption at this weekend’s Adopt-a-Thon at PetSmart, 17940 Newhope St., from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.--just plenty of cats and dogs from the county’s shelters who face being put to sleep if they’re not adopted or who are living at foster homes while waiting for a permanent owner.
