Katie and Tim Jones, of Lawrenceville, get acquainted with Larimer, a 3-year-old male lab mix, yesterday at Animal Friends in Ohio Township. Larimer was among 41 cats and dogs saved from euthanasia during a New Year's Eve rescue by the group. The Joneses weren't able to take him home yesterday because of an upcoming trip, but he "won't last long" amid a surge in adoptions, says one Animal Friends official.
