The top U.S. and Canadian professional and amateur birding enthusiasts, carvers and artists extraordinaire will make their annual migration to Sacramento for the 41st Annual Pacific Flyway Decoy Association's Classic Wildlife Art Festival, Saturday and Sunday, July 16-17, 2011, DoubleTree Hotel Sacramento, 2001 Point West Way.

Designed for adults and kids of all ages, novices and "birders" alike, the event celebrates traditional wildlife artworks with contests, displays of carvings, fine art, priceless antique decoys, sculpture and interactive kids activities.

Whether you're an avid outdoor enthusiast, woodworker, birdwatcher, hunter, or fisherman, the weekend festival is an opportunity to marvel at the intricacies involved with the art of capturing wildlife in action through carvings, sculpture and paintings.

Such a little lady!

Less than a year old, this pretty girl is playful and confident and ready to explore. She's very friendly and loves attention. Lady had surgery a few weeks ago on her hip, but she's starting to use her leg again and it truly doesn't seem to slow her down. Her tail is as waggy as ever!

Lady should go to a home where children are old enough to understand how to play gently with her. She would also do best in a home where she is the only pet (no cats or other dogs!) and where there is often someone at home.

Please come down to the Sacramento SPCA and meet Lady today!
