The Alexandria location of F.Z. Webb & Sons Pharmacy will be closing on Wednesday, July 24.

“This is a sad day for us,” said Lora Webb.

“Although there is still a need for service in the Alexandria community we just couldn’t afford to keep the pharmacy open due to declining insurance reimbursements. We also tried to sell the pharmacy but were unable to find a buyer for the same reasons,” said Webb.

The Alexandria Pharmacy was purchased by Alan and Lora Webb and Danny and Paula Roller in 1993 and served the community as F.Z.Webb & Sons Pharmacy for 26 years.

“The current phone number and all prescriptions from the Alexandria pharmacy will roll to the Smithville location at 608 South Congress Boulevard as of Thursday, July 25. The phone number in Smithville is 615-597-4185

In the meantime, all gifts and over the counter medicines are 50-75% off at the Alexandria pharmacy.

There is no place like home but for “Major” he is still waiting for a loving family.

This two and a half year old neutered male Border Collie Mix is the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Coalition featured “Pet of the Week”.

“Major” was first featured in April but has not yet found his forever home.

Shelter Director Megan Moore hopes you have room in your heart and home for this adorable dog.

“Major wants to be a lap dog more than anything. He was a featured pet of the week previously but has not found his perfect home. We are revisiting him because he deserves a perfect place to go. He loves to go on walks. He gets along with everybody. He’s a great dog and waiting for his forever home,” she said.

His adoption fee is only $40 to an approved home.

The shelter is now open for business Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12pm-4pm and Saturday 10am-12pm. and the new phone number is 615-597-3647 (DOGS).

The shelter is located at 186 Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive.
