She is a great dog in need of a good home.

Shy is very friendly when she gets to know you and becomes comfortable with your presence. Until she becomes comfortable around you she will try to stay as far away from you as possible. Shy is also uncomfortable around other dogs and a meet and greet is required for adoption.

Shy is available at the Euclid Animal Shelter, 25100 Lakeland Blvd., in Euclid. The shelter hours are Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4 P.M. and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 P.M.

All interested parties will be required to sing a live, a capella version of the national anthem on a microphone at Great Lakes Mall.

Judging will be based on lyrical accuracy, voice quality, presentation, voice projection and overall performance quality. Lyric sheets will not be allowed at the auditions.

3. You’re not only supporting local business. You’re supporting local artists!
