Sammi Bates, an animal care specialist with the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, takes her dog, Farley, from a kennel on Thursday as a dry run for the acceptance of shelter canines in the organization’s Crow Bark House beginning this weekend. The society closed the dog shelter last April because of high operating costs, resulting in a reorganization of OPHS staffing and leadership. The Bark House will begin accepting stray and surrendered animals, by appointment, starting on Saturday with a low-key public open house from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News)
