Local writer Janine Mellini is the former author of the popular "Paw Prints" blog, Rescue Me Morris! photo gallery and Rescue Tales pages previously published in a daily Morris County newspaper. Her new blog, PetsFurRescue, picks up where that blog and those pages left off by providing ongoing news and items of interest about local rescue groups, animal shelters, pet-related events, pets and pet people, while also posting current photos and information about pets available for adoption in Morris County and surrounding areas. Have pet news or want to post pets for adoption, send me the information and photos at petsfurrescue@yahoo.com.
