Adoptable Pet of the Week: Pooch

Pooch is an 8-year-old rat terrier who walks nicely on a leash, enjoys playing fetch and is a great companion.

He’s in terrific physical condition and is a lively boy with many good years ahead of him. As an older dog, Pooch qualifies for the shelter's senior adoption rate of $100.

The shelter recommends Pooch for a home without cats. He has been around children ages 6 to 10 years old and is also friendly with other dogs. His perfect home would be with older children or maybe a senior who would like a nice walking companion. 

Adoption fees include sterilization, microchip and age appropriate vaccinations.
