Pet of the 
Week 

 
Dallas (A356029) is a 
mellow 4-year-old terrier 
mix. This friendly boy loves 
people of all ages. He even 
participated in our Summer 
Critter Camp with kids 
ages 9-12. He loves going 
for walks and does great on 
leash. Dallas likes getting 
petted and especially enjoys 
belly rubs. He already 
knows his “sit,” “down” and 
“stay” commands, reducing 
his adoption fee to just $100. 
Dallas appears to get along 
well with other dogs, but 
would prefer a home with 
no cats. If you’re looking for 
a fun-loving big dog, stop 
by and meet Dallas. 

 The adoption fee for dogs 
is $130. All dogs are spayed 
or neutered, microchipped,
