Adoptable Pet of the Week |
|
Ernesto
1 year old｜Lab/shepherd mix｜neutered male
I sometimes do not realize how big I am, but everyone loves me anyway! I have super cute "radar ears" that everyone just dotes upon. I love to play, and I get along with just about anyone I meet, except for those felines. I prefer to be king of my household, and those felines have too much sass and attitude for me! So, please no feline roommates. I would make an excellent running or hiking buddy, if that’s what you or looking for; or, I’m cool chilling on the couch too, as long as we play and get my energy out. I am patiently waiting for my forever home, but I know it’s out there somewhere! If you are a lab lover and need a companion, I’ll be waiting at the Bryan Animal Center. Come meet me, Ernesto, today. I just know I will win my way into your heart!
If you are interested in adopting Ernesto, please contact the Bryan Animal Center, at 979.209.5260 to schedule an appointment to visit.

Kicking Off the Season: The newly established Bryan Army Air Field fielded a football team in 1943 and 1944. Though they were nowhere near the elite of the service-base teams, the Army Air Field players (seen above in dark jerseys) bravely marched into Kyle Field to take on the powerhouse Texas A&M Aggies on not one, but two occasions: Sept. 25, 1943, and Sept. 23, 1944. It didn't go well for the airmen in either instance, as they were routed by the Aggies 48-6 in 1943, and 39-0 in 1944.
