Adoption fees are: $125.00 & up for cats; $150.00 & up for dogs. Lake Norman Humane would always appreciate any donation above that amount. Your donations help support other pets that incur higher medical costs beyond the standard shots, spaying or neutering.
The Stratemeyer Syndicate was responsible for more than 1,600 series book volumes (mostly juvenile) published between 1904 and 1984. In addition, the founder of the Syndicate, Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) is known to have used many pseudonyms (either by his choice or the publishers of his stories in story papers, dime novels, or in book form). In general each Syndicate series was published under a pseudonym.
The roots of Stratego reach back to WWII when a Dutchman, Jacques Johan Mogendorff, invented Stratego. In 1947 Stratego was published for the first time and in 1961 Royal Jumbo launched the board game with its Napoleonic theme with great success in America. Since then, the classic game of battlefield strategy has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. The game is particularly popular in the US, Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, where regular national and world championships are organized. Stratego has battled with a variety of different themes, looks and rules. Currently there are board game versions with a Napoleonic and Sci-Fi theme.
