Meet the Smyth Animal Rescue Pet of the Week: Gambit.
This handsome 1-year-old Coonhound-Collie mix weighs in at 64 pounds and is full of fun-loving energy, curiosity, and charm. Whether it's exploring the great outdoors, going for long walks, or spending time with his people, Gambit is always ready for the next adventure.
Gambit is a friendly guy who enjoys the company of other dogs and would love a canine companion to romp and play with. While he gets along beautifully with other dogs, he does get a bit excited around cats. So, if you have a cat who isn’t afraid of a friendly chase from time to time, he’s still your guy!
If you're ready to add a fun-loving, affectionate companion to your life, Gambit is waiting to meet you!

Regional Food Preservation Conference is coming to Wytheville
Staff Report
Hosted by Virginia Cooperative Extension, the first Food Preservation Conference is coming to Wytheville on Aug. 1.
Andrea Haubner, this region’s Area Specialized Agent - Community Health, said the day-long event “will be a very unique event with instructors from all over Southwest Virginia. In addition to over 15 unique sessions, there is an Appalachian storyteller coming during the lunch hour; pressure canner testing, and childcare will be provided all day by our very talented 4-H Extension Agents.”
Workshops include canning meats and broth, cooking with canned goods, dehydration, ham curing, fermentation, field dressing deer, freezing meals, jam and jelly making, molasses making, pressure canning, sauerkraut making, smoking meat, and water bath canning among others.
Haubner said, “Food preservation methods such as canning, fermentation, dehydration and freezing are great ways to preserve our food so that they last throughout the year.” However, she urged people to attend the conference to ensure that they’re doing so safely.
She also noted that Red Hill General Store of Hillsville will be set up at the conference.
The cost is $60 per adult and $30 per youth (ages 8-18). Lunch is included.
