Adoptable Dog of the Week: Misty Needs a Home

This week's adoptable pet is Misty, a labrador retriever. 

Misty is a year old and has been with Manatee County Animal Services since October 1, when her owner surrendered her to the county because Misty did not like the cat. Misty does love people and she loves to play. Visit Misty at the county's downtown adoption center or at the Palmetto adoption center for Animal Services this week. The new and expanded downtown center is expected to reopen Monday. The fence should be moved away from the sidewalk too.

October is a great month to adopt a dog like Misty. Manatee County Animal Services is offering a $40 adoption special on all dogs for "Howl-O-Ween."  Cats can be adopted for $60, but look for the senior discounts. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.  

For more information, visit www.mymanatee.org/pets or call 941-742-5824. The animal services webpage features updated photos and descriptions of the pets available for adoption. Pet owners can also use the site to locate missing pets.
