Pet of the Week: Bluebell

Posted

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- Meet our Pet of the Week, Bluebell.

She's a four-year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix.

Bluebell came into the shelter as a stray in December.

Volunteers say she's very laid back and loves calm walks. She's potty trained and gets along well with other calm, respectful dogs.

Bluebell has already been spayed. She has slight arthritis, but shelter staff are starting treatment already. Bluebell is also heartworm positive, but there are several treatment plans available to get her fully healthy.

Her adoption fee is $65.

To learn more about all of the animals available for adoption, click here or follow the shelter on Facebook.   

You can catch our Pet of the Week every Tuesday morning at 6:30 on WTXL Sunrise.

The Animal Service Center is also looking for a part time vet tech.
