Pet of the Day: Handsome Hemi
This 2-year-old boy is available for adoption at the Cobb County Animal Shelter.
Hi, my name is Hemi. I'm a precious 2-year-old, 6-pound Shih Tzu who came to the shelter as a stray with ID on May 10. My family did not come for me when they were contacted. They did take very good care of me—I have a beautiful coat, and I'm already neutered and heartworm negative. I know how to sit when told and walk on a leash, plus I roll right over for a belly rub. You can find me in cage 318 at the Cobb County Animal Shelter, located at 1060 Al Bishop Dr., Marietta. Call 770-499-4136 for more information. Please reference my ID number, 543410, and not my name. For more animals in need of homes, visit the Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb County Facebook page.

The Board of Education has until June 30 to find a compromise that at least four members can support for fiscal 2013.
The Cobb County School District has to go back to the chalkboard after the Board of Education failed to approve the fiscal 2013 budget Thursday night. The school board has until June 30 to pass a budget for the year that starts July 1, but after the extensive debate Thursday, the path forward is unclear.

Superintendent Michael Hinojosa and Chief Financial Officer Mike Addison entered the meeting recommending the same budget that the school board passed April 26 on a preliminary basis.
