Walking into any store and seeing all the candy, decorations and other festive items will tell you the holiday season is right around the corner. And no matter how much we feel prepared going into the season or how much we swore up and down that we won’t forget Aunt Becky or Uncle Brad from our holiday card list, it just happens. Handwrytten has created a card sending service that will learn your handwriting and signature, AI that will help you write the card, and robots that will put the pen to paper and put on the stamp, so you never forget anyone again.

Zoey, Dec. 5 Pet of the Week

December 4, 2025 By Leave a Comment
AWWWWW

Zoey, 4 years old, is more than just a houn’ dog—she’s also a Belgian Malinois! Zoey’s affectionate and seeks attention from humans, and although she’s not much of a frolicker, she does like to hang out with dogs in the play yard and casually mingle, discussing what they’ve smelled in the grass and bushes. She’s apparently had some training—she knows several commands and is housebroken. Zoey once had a home, but it doesn’t seem like she had attention from them. She’s been at the shelter a couple of times as a stray in the last few years, and her owner always came for her. This last time, though, they never responded to shelter requests to come for her, and now, Zoey needs a forever home where her family will give her the attention she so craves. Like many dogs with Belgian Malinois in their DNA, Zoey cannot handle confinement in a kennel—can you give her the home she deserves? The shelter’s over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt or foster Zoey or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. Our shelter hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 7700 E. Spring St. at the entrance to El Dorado Park (no parking fee for shelter visitors. Ask for ID#A687132
