Pup of the Week: Dirk

614Now has partnered with the CHA Animal Shelter to put some focus each week on a cute pup up for adoption.

Quick note: the shelter wants to remind everyone about their $5 Feline Friday special. All cats and kittens have a $5 adoption fee every Friday from now through Thanksgiving. 

Now…let’s take a look at Dirk.

Dirk is a 40 pound, 9 month old, American Pit Bull Terrier mix. He is described as being very polite and can be a bit on the shy side. He loves playing with other dogs and is good with some of the shelter’s more shy, under-socialized pups. Dirk would like to live with an active family who can keep him busy and give him lots of positive experiences. Daily walks or jogs would be good for him since he is a young, athletic breed. Dirk is a sweet boy who would fit well in many homes.

Dirk’s adoption fee is listed at $150. He is up-to-date on all of his shots, and has been neutered and micro-chipped. Adoption fees go right back into the shelter to help care for animals continuing to wait for their new homes.
