Adoptable Dog of the Week: Adele is a Happy Girl

She's just one of the pets up for adoption at the county's downtown center.

This week's adoptable dog is Adele, a tan and white pit bull mixl.

Adele, a two year old spayed female, loves to play ball and she loves to be with people. She will sit for a treat and loves to please. Adele has been with Manatee County Animal Services since March 14, when she was transferred from Sarasota. You can visit Adele at the county's downtown adoption center today or next week. The downtown adoption center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

This is a great month to adopt Wendy. Manatee County Animal Services is offering a $60 adoption fee for dogs through June. Check out other dogs as well. Animal Services is offering a few dogs free to good homes. Check out Tucker: He's a great boy and free to a great home. Adoptions include spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check, microchip and current rabies certificate/tag. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.
