Murphy is a three-year-old tri-colored Australian Shepherd mix available for adoption at the Josephine County Animal Shelter.
He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped with an adoption fee of $175, and shelter staff note that he shows a gentle, friendly nature once he warms up.
📰 Economy
Southern Oregon residents feel the effects of the federal shutdown as new job data is frozen, leaving local business owners and civic leaders with only outdated reports—this gap forces cautious budget and hiring decisions if the shutdown continues.
Local officials now rely on older quarterly figures to guide their plans without the current statistics.
🏥 Health
Southern Oregon residents may not get enough vitamin D3 this winter as gray skies limit the sunlight that naturally makes the vitamin — which is key for bone health, mood, and the immune system.
Health experts recommend eating foods rich in vitamin D3 and taking supplements to help keep the body balanced.
