Pet of the Week: Gollum Needs a Home

Each week, Prince William County Animal Shelter spotlights an animal ready for adoption.

Gollum is a 2-year-old un-neutered male who is recovering from a case of Demodex and is in need of a loving home that will continue his treatment, according to an animal shelter post on Facebook.

"He was in such bad shape when he came in that most of his hair was missing and his feet were swollen and very red and irritated," according to the post. "He already looks a lot better, but he still has a long way to go and will need an owner that is willing to continue the treatment until he is successfully cleared up and gets his hair back."

The animal shelter is located at 14807 Bristow Road, across from the Prince William County Landfill on Dumfries Road (Rt. 234).

Hours are 11-5, Tuesday through Friday; 10-4, Saturday; noon to 4, Sunday. Contact at 703-792-6465 or animalshelter@pwcgov.org.
