Short haired grey tabby with white front paws, white back haunches, white tipped tail, 1yr old. “Ruby” ran out the back door of a house on Pine Street near 50th. Contact Debbie Cade at 215-474-6794 if you think you’ve seen Ruby. Unfortunately, she isn’t fixed… No photo.

Update from Linda Lee:

Stacy Darrah is still searching for this dog’s owner. She’s put calls
in to Husky rescue groups, as well, and he’s on a couple wait lists.
Stacy’s apartment is small and she has a large dog of her own, so
would like to find another place for him, with a little more room,
until owner turns up or a slot opens up with a rescue. He’s a good
natured young male, with loads of energy, not aggressive. He does fine in a crate and is house broken. She’s arranging for him to be neutered this coming week. Please let her know if you can help out.
She really has her hands full these days! Her number is
267-902-2020. Feel free to call her if you have any questions. Many thanks! -LL

Oakley, a female calico cat, about 1 year old, went missing on 3/20/2011 from 46th and Locust.
Contact: comm-cvtfv-2278489594@craigslist.org Please check yards, alleys, basements, under porches.

Found two little dogs. One black with white paws and a purple harness, the other brown with white on the nose and a red collar. Both are female and look to be mixed with corgi and maybe some beagle.
Please contact if you have any information to help these dogs find their owner. I found the dogs at the Rite Aid near 57th & Chestnut St – 215 990 4722. I will post pics soon.
Thank you. Tiffany (email: comm-7dhe9-2275271219@craigslist.org)

Thank the gods for the cool weather. It has arrived just in time for the 2nd annual University City Arts League (UCAL) Chili Bowl Sale and Cook Off.

Here’s how this thing works: Come to UCAL (4226 Spruce Street) on Sunday, March 27, from noon to 6 p.m., buy a hand-made chili bowl and fill it up with homemade chili. The one-of-a-kind bowl will cost you $20 and the chili is free. Wash down the chili with beer and ale donated by Yards Brewing Co. Wine and soft drinks will also be available.

This UCAL fundraiser is also a chili cooking competition. If you buy a bowl you can vote for the best chili. The winner receives 10 pottery classes to figure out how to make their own chili bowls.
