Good morning, Odessa.

Buttercup, a 4-year-old schnauzer mix, is ready for adoption at the Humane Society of Odessa, where pets are cared for in a no-kill environment.

The shelter requires a spay/neuter contract and adoption application, and fees start at $75 — interested adopters can visit the center for more details.

A 71-year-old Odessa woman died on August 8th in a Dallas hospital after her 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 collided on July 31st at Cottonwood Road and US 385 — the crash involved a 2024 Ford F-150 driven by 42-year-old Edward Julian Mata, state officials said.
