His coat is rough, and his unbalanced framework could be considered an excellent argument for selective breeding. He has little dignity. He will roll on the ground and cry for anyone with a kind voice and an outstretched hand.

"Spot," who has a name for the first time today, is the prototype of a youngster's "mutt" dog. Last month 300 dogs were killed at the Sonoma County Humane Society Shelter, 447 Sebastopol Road. They were killed quickly so that they wouldn't roam the streets and starve or be crushed under a car's wheels. IF THERE are 5,000 people in the Redwood Empire who have ever known a dog like "Spot," they can help keep him and hundreds of other dogs alive. "Spot's" individual future could be simple.

Two dollars paid to the humane society officer, another $2 license fee, someone to own him, and "Spot" can spend the next few years taking naps in the sun and playing private fan club for his owner. THE ANSWER to the annual problem of about 3,000 other dogs like "Spot" can be met only by money. J.

An application is being prepared for presentation to 'the Sonoma County Planning Commission seeking permission to acquire two acres of land three miles east of Santa Rosa, to be used for a new Humane Society shelter.
