If you happen to shop at Aldi’s or Raley’s, you should know there is a recall of frozen raspberries and frozen berry mixes due to potential contamination of Hepatitis A. While there have been no reported infections due to the berries, there was a positive test result from government sampling, so it’s a good idea to check your freezer for these.

Non-profit of the week: Austin Sheltie Rescue

Austin Sheltie Rescue, located in Austin, TX, works to place homeless shelties in forever homes. From their site:

“The dogs live in foster homes where they receive medical attention and opportunities to interact with people and other animals until they can be matched with a "forever" home. They are groomed, vaccinated and altered before being offered for adoption and a nominal adoption fee is charged to partially cover these expenses.”

If you’re in Texas and are interested in a Sheltie, here’s their site: http://www.sheltierescuetx.org/index.html
