Southeast Missouri Pets, formerly the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri, noted the 100th birthday of the late actress and animal activist Betty White with a party Monday at the organization's new 12,000-square-foot pet adoption shelter at 180 Weston St. in Cape Girardeau. Patron, a five-year-old male boxer, licks peanut butter from the window of his individual kennel as part of the celebration. SEMO Pets had announced a $5,000 goal for its recent Betty White Challenge. The goal was reached Friday, SEMO Pets president Charlotte Craig said. An additional $5,000 gift was received this week, she said, aiding the not-for-profit organization's ongoing mission to care for dogs, cats and other animals and prepare them for adoption.Jeff Long
