How to 'Break' into Animal Services

The adventures of Corky and Fly continue as the pair shares how they got to Pinellas County Animal Services while their owners were on vacation.

Corky, a Jack Russel Terrier, first discovered Animal Services when he got out of his yard in search of his beloved tennis ball. Corky and his friend Fly, an Australian Shepherd also learned of the great dog parks Pinellas County has
while chatting with other dogs.

The pair decided they wanted to spend some time together at Animal Services.

"Of course it was Fly who came up with the idea to break into Pinellas County Animal Services for a resort-like vacation. Why is he so smart? It must be the breed. I know there are other breeds that must be smarter than Australian Shepherds, but I don’t want to tell HIM that," wrote Corky in a recent blog on Patch.
