Alpine Animal Shelter Adoption Opportunity:  This sweet and mellow fellow is in need of a real home, because he's been at the shelter since April.  He's only 2-3 years old but he's calm like an older dog. During walks, he's right by his walker's side - perfectly behaved on a leash and seems like he'd stick around off-leash too.  During play, he mills around calmly with all the other dogs but doesn’t ever cause trouble or bark, though he will try to sneak that ball away… He’s got a knack for giving sweet, melty, brown-eyed looks.  JETHRO seems like he's probably had some great human affection in the past but somehow got it taken away, so he is a little reserved before he commits to loving again. This dog is going to heap rewards of sweetness on the one who can rescue him and bring him into their family forever.  AAS is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm), located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. JETHRO (and all) AAS animals are on Petfinder at: https://www.petfinder.com/pet

10 Best: Nighttime adventures in parks and refuges
;
Stargaze Big Bend National Park, Texas
On a clear night, you can see more than 2,000 stars in this isolated west Texas park, certified as an International Dark Sky site due to its low light pollution. "The entire sky is just a blanket of stars. It's one of best places in the Lower 48 to go stargazing," Weiner says. But you might want to skip visiting during the summer months, when temperatures can reach 120 degrees. 432-477-2251; nps.gov/bibe
