🌱Seasonal Workers Needed + Pets Up For Adoption + Homes On The Market

Hi there, Avon-Avon Lake! I'm here in your inbox per usual to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Let's have at it.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 81 Low: 64.

Here are the top three stories today in Avon-Avon Lake:

1. Do you like being outdoors during the best time of the year? You are in luck! The city of Avon Lake is seeking several seasonal workers ongoing into the fall season. This part-time, temporary work, will include general landscaping work, leaf collection, trash and tree limb collection, restroom cleaning/maintenance and other duties as assigned. For more information, click HERE. (Avon Lake.org)
2. When you’re looking for a new place, keeping tabs on all the latest listings can be an exhausting task. That’s why we here at Patch have stepped in and done the prep work for you.
   Here are the five newest houses to hit the housing market in the Avon-Avon Lake area — such as a house in the Avon Lake area with two bedrooms and one bathroom for $109,900, and another in the Avon area with four bedrooms and three bathrooms for $698,474. Click on any address for more pics and details. Happy house hunting! (Avon-Avon Lake Patch)
3. Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Avon-Avon Lake community at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! Local shelters in Avon-Avon Lake have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted. On a search for your new companion? Consider starting at a local shelter like Love A Stray, where Corrine the cat is waiting patiently or meet Cody, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Dogs are more your thing? there are several great dogs available, too. (Avon-Avon Lake Patch)

• Cleveland Clinic: "Our caregivers rappelled down a 23-story building in downtown Cleveland to raise awareness for organ donation. Right now, 3,000 Ohioans are waiting for an organ transplant." (Cleveland Clinic via Instagram)
• FIDO's Companion Rescue Inc.: "Pixie and Arthur are both up for adoption! And they’d be the perfect pair if you’re looking for two. Pixie is the cutest little pocket pit. She’s crate trained and working on potty training. She’s nervous around people and will need a patient, quiet home — preferably with a confident dog to show her the world isn’t so scary. Arthur is the perfect gentleman. He’s potty trained, knows house manners, and is fine left alone out of his crate. He would love an active family with a fenced yard. To adopt Pixie or Arthur, please go to: http://fidoscompanion.com/Adopt.aspx." (FIDO's Companion Rescue Inc. via Facebook)
