CULLMAN – According to the Cullman County Animal Shelter’s Donna Ruttkay, “We have seen an uptick of young families, looking for canine companions doing various jobs for their children. What a blessing!”
On Monday, Ruttkay introduced us to The Tribune’s Pet of the Week, Thumper.
“Thumper is a Lab mix, approximately 3 months old. He’s a medium-energy pet who enjoys playing in the yard and walks on a leash easily. He’s smart and alert and craves human contact.”
Thumper’s adoption fee is $90 including: DHLPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccines, rabies vaccine, wormer, general exam at the vet, spay, microchip, free 45-day health insurance policy issued by 24PetWatch (with valid email only) and a free bag of food from Cullman Pet Depot (you must pay sales tax).
Animal shelter staff and volunteers work with their dogs to make sure they are accustomed to being around people, walking on a leash and practicing good behavior. Several of the shelter’s dogs have even been “hired” recently to work as special needs service dogs.
Please consider adopting to give a rescued pet a chance at a happy and healthy life.
Contact the Cullman County Animal Shelter at 256-734-5448, or visit them at 935 Convent Road NE. Reach them by email at cullmancountyanimalshelter@gmail.com.
