DENVER (KDVR) — Throughout August, the Denver Animal Shelter discounts all fur babies by almost $100 along with free spay/neuter surgery, microchip, vaccines and a one-year license.The goal is to reduce the number of pets in the shelter. So far this year, 1,150 dogs and cats were adopted into loving homes, according to the DAS. As of now, there are almost 100 and counting dogs and cats available for adoption. 477 pets surrendered to Denver Animal Shelter already this year "It's been extremely challenging because the intake policies of a lot of other area shelters have limited the type and number of animals that they take in, it's called 'manage admission,'" said Melanie Sobel, director of Denver's Department of Animal Protection. "So, they put people on waiting lists or send them to other shelters and just say, 'We're not accepting those animals.' So basically, these animals get circumvented to us, and we take them in because we believe that's our role."Falcon, an Australian catt...No injuries reported after helicopter door falls on furniture store roof in Fort Myers

To their surprise, local deputies made an unusual discovery – a helicopter door resting on the store’s roof.Neither individuals on the ground nor the five occupants aboard the helicopter suffered any injuries in the incident. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation into the matter and confirmed that the door belonged to a privately owned 1982 B-105 helicopter registered in Montana.According to information from a flight tracking app, the helicopter had taken off just before 10 a.m. from a small airport in Fort Myers.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WSVN) — There was a birthday party surprise for a woman who was attacked by a shark. She didn’t even see the shark in the water, and now, she’s just thankful to be alive and able to tell her story.About 2-3 miles out from the St. Petersburg pier, near Tampa Saturday night, Natalie Branda swam in the water as she celebrated her friend Allie Muck’s birthday.“I remember trying to attach two floaties together, and then I accidentally dropped one and splashed the water,” Branda said. She didn’t see what happened next, but felt it. “I just felt pressure and then it released, and I was like, ‘I got bit,’ and I swam the fastest I ever swam to the boat,” she said.“I think the look in their eyes kind of made us realize it was a little bit more serious than we were anticipating,” Mucks said.With her boyfriend by her side, Branda climbed a board the sailboat.“I could only see my stomach at t...Don’t throw a spotlight on Northern Ireland stalemate, Sunak urged

DUBLIN – Rishi Sunak should postpone plans for an international investment conference in Northern Ireland because it will cast a counterproductive spotlight on its political paralysis, the U.K. prime minister has been warned.Sunak announced plans for the September 12-13 conference following his Windsor Framework agreement with the European Union. That painstakingly negotiated compromise was designed to minimize post-Brexit restrictions on British goods movements into Northern Ireland and reinforce the U.K. region’s unique access to the EU single market, a potential selling point for multinationals.While the deal ended years of Brexit headbutting between London and Brussels, it failed to persuade the Democratic Unionists – the main pro-British and pro-Brexit party in Northern Ireland – to end their boycott of local government at Stormont.With no prospect of a political breakthrough, the other parties in Northern Ireland’s mothballed coalition government are arguing that it ...Tractor-trailer driver in critical condition after truck crashes through home in Bellingham

By Ashley Parks, Bankrate.comOne of the most accessible paths to building credit is a student credit card. Cultivating consistent, positive credit-building habits with a card that fits your needs will set you on the right track. As with any credit card, student card or not, there are many factors to consider to help you choose the right one.A student credit card works similarly to most standard credit cards. What sets student cards apart is their focus on student-related perks and benefits. For starters, this often means the credit requirements for approval are more relaxed to account for a student’s lack of credit history.If the card offers rewards, these rewards are usually generous in spending categories that are popular among students, like dining, entertainment and Amazon purchases. Typically, student credit cards are also affordable to hold since they’re often free of charges like annual fees and foreign transaction fees.Read on to learn more about how to choose the best stude...From kidney stones to sand burns: The offbeat health dangers of extreme heat
