FOTAS and the Aiken County Animal Shelter are having a St. Patrick’s “Change Their Luck” adoption event today, Saturday, March 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Today only, FOTAS sponsors will be paying for all pet adoptions.
Stop by 333 Wire Road in Aiken, SC, enjoy some complimentary St. Paddy treats, and let the shelter’s adoption counselors help you find your furry lucky charm!
The shelter kennels are doubled up and we are housing many wonderful pets who just need a lucky break. These homeless animals deserve love and security.
Here is just a sampling of the County Shelter’s adoptable dogs:
Caprice: Sweet Caprice is a wonderful dog who is somehow being overlooked by potential adopters. She is a lovely black Lab mix who is six years old, 57 pounds and easy to walk.
Elle: Brindle and white Sweetie-pie Elle is wonderful with most dogs, walks wonderfully on a leash and is in urgent need of a good home. This mixed breed is three years old, 57 pounds and well behaved.
Handsome: Three years old, 81 pounds and extremely playful, Handsome is not a dog you can miss seeing on our adoption floor. This blue and white guy loves other large dogs. He’s like a big puppy!
Janna: Pretty, white Janna is three years old, 50 pounds and extremely sweet. She is a little shy but quickly bonds with people she knows. This girl gets along with most dogs and deserves the best home.
Rosemary: Poor Rosemary arrived at the County Animal Shelter covered in bite marks and some of her teeth filed down. She likely was used as a bait dog by a dog fighting operation. But despite her past abuse, this three-year-old, 54-pound stray is a cuddly sweetheart. (tongue out picture above)
Merry: She’s been here longer than any other dog in the adoption wing. She’s one of the friendliest dogs you’ll ever meet and gets so excited when prospective
adopters visit her. Blue and white Merry is three years old, 52 pounds and playful. She would do best as an only pet.
Sosa: Two-year-old, 56-pound mixed breed Sosa is a playful, active and goofy dog. He insists on giving you a hug when you greet him. He likes running in the play yard and enjoys rolling around on his back and chasing tennis balls. Sosa has a rich, red coat and likes big dogs who enjoy playing rough & rowdy style.
