NEXUS Animals is partnering with animal shelters and others to host a “Clear the Shelter” pet adoption event. 

El Reno Animal Shelter is one of the partnering agencies, according to information provided by NEXUS.

The adoption event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 16 at the NEXUS Equine Center, 6608 S. Manning Road. 

Dogs, cats and horses will be available for adoption. Those wishing to adopt a horse need to bring their own trailer. 

I would like to encourage you to do whatever you can to celebrate our city, our school system, our community, our veterans and our rich heritage as the quickly approaching year of 2026 will mark two huge anniversaries significant to our community, our state, our nation, and arguably the entire world.

U.S. Postal Service mail carrier David Mann takes a quick break from his route along Jensen Street last week to get a glass of lemonade from Zoey Neal.

Zoey was selling drinks and chips as local temperatures reached near triple digits last week.

Mann was her first customer of the day. Zoey made $5 on the sale with a tip from Mann and two glasses of lemonade for the El Reno Tribune.
