Here are the top three stories in Boulder today:

1. "Rectangled," a display in the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art’s Present Box lobby space through March 31, is Rise Friedman's artistic way of using framed prints and photo-covered building blocks to create a hands-on parallelogrammatic interactive installation. Visitors of all ages are invited to rearrange the pieces, tapping into your inner child, building towers out of blocks. A reception for this special show will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 9, at BMoCA, 1750 13th Street, Boulder. Be there or be rectangled! (Westword)
2. If you've been wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these shelters in and around Boulder for a pet who needs a home. Over 6 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by animal rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals in search of a permanent home as well, including pigs, birds and even horses.
