Hello, my name is Rowdy! The people at the Bullock County Humane Society have been so nice. They found me on the streets and took me in. I am a 2 year old lab mix who loves to give snuggles. I walk well on a leash and I enjoy being around the other dogs and cats at the shelter. I am up to date on my shots. The workers say I am going to be neutered so that I won’t be able to father any babies and I am heartworm negative. I love to run and play.

This past weekend was Easter Sunday. I saw several posts on social media celebrating the Resurrection. If you scrolled through my timeline, you would think everyone went to church on Easter and most Sundays.
When I was a little boy, I don't know if I knew anyone who did not go to church. I was born and raised in the South, where attending church was a weekly tradition.

Alabama physicians are commending the Food and Drug Administration’s decision today to allow a nasal spray version of Narcan to be available as over-the-counter medication.
“Making Narcan available without prescription is an essential step to save lives from fentanyl and other opioid-related overdoses,” said Dr. Julia Boothe, President of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama. “We encourage all Alabamians to learn how to recognize, prevent and respond to an opioid overdose by using Narcan.”
