Pet of the Week: Remi | News [Video]

EUGENE, Ore. — Remi is a bouncy pup with a propensity for prancing and a whole lot of energy for anyone willing to give her a home!

Remi is a 6-year-old medium-sized dog with a playful demeanor and a long black and white coat. Greenhill Humane Society staff say they love how goofy Remi is, and say she loves the outdoors. Remi especially loves the water, and often jumps in Greenhill’s pool for a little swim.

That means conveying a message and not just in spectacular images (such as the protest) but by helping visitors learn about the situation and the various contexts of this global heating," Wipplinger said.The exhibition runs until June 26.
