Think you have the cutest pet in Nooga? Prove it with a mural. If you haven’t heard, the Humane Educational Society has a new $13 million facility (4155 Randolph Circle), and it’s definitely an upgrade from the last one. The new shelter opened in mid-January, and now they’re planning to auction off five custom murals of local pets on their building.
