Hi! My name is Sammie and I’m at the Santa Maria Campus. I’m a 13 year old, female, Domestic Longhair who came to SB Humane hoping to find a lovely retirement home. I am elegant, independent and I love to talk to people. I am a bit on the hefty side of things so I prefer lounging around on the ground in comfy spots. I love to be scratched and loved on.

I can’t help but wonder how many vacant buildings in Denver play host to people experiencing homelessness. I expect it’s quite a few. There is a vacant building next to Martin Luther King, Jr. Park where I walk every day. Every time someone with a dog walks past it, the dog growls at the building.

Cody Roberts walked into the Green River Bar joking that he’d found a lost cattle dog. The woman tending bar that evening seemed to know what would happen next. “The bartender goes, ‘Cody, you better not bring in a fucking lion,’” an eyewitness recalled. “She knew he was going to bring something in that was not a dog.”

JACKSON HOLE—A scrunched, humbled look broke out on Tim Mangold’s face as he gripped the little, lone antler he carried out of the western Wyoming mountains on Wednesday. The 59-year-old affable Darby, Montana man — a hunting outfitter, woodworker and father of seven — had had quite the day.

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.
