Pet of the Week
     LOVES AN EAR SCRATCH—Jethro, a 3-year-old shepherd mix, might seem a little aloof—until you start scratching his ears. Then he turns into a sweet, lovable lap dog. He's good with other dogs and is well- mannered. If you would like to adopt Jethro, ask for animal ID number A471602 at the Camarillo Animal Shelter, 600 Aviation Drive. Occasionally pets have already been adopted, so check online at www.vcar.us or call (805) 388-4341 before visiting the shelter.
