Pet of the Week: Pinta Needs a Home

Pinta is our adoptable pet of the week. 

Pinta is 4 1/2 years old, and is a Pitbull mix. She's outgoing, affectionate, gentle and cuddly.

She weighs a tad under 60 pounds and wants nothing more than to curl up next to you.

Being in a kennel is hard for a dog like Pinta — she doesn't mind being by herself in her own home, but all the other dogs around her make her nervous and she pines to be let out of her kennel so she can relax.

She's trained, and is what th shelter calls a "low-maintenance" dog.

Walk her a few times a day, and spoil her with love and treats, and yearly vet checks — that's all you'll need to do.

She'd be perfect for a retired couple or a family with children over 6 years old.

If you're looking for a dog that will love you unconditionally, meet Pinta and take her home.

The  is at 2331 15th St and can be reached at 941-955-4131.
