PAHS Pet of the Week: Meet Bernice! Taken in as a Stray, She needs Someone to Love her

FROM PRATTVILLE AUTAUGA HUMANE SHELTER

Our featured pet this week is Bernice.  Such a beautiful dog who needs someone to love her.

Bernice is an 1-year-old female Hound/Beagle mix who must be spayed before she is adopted.  She came to PAHS as a stray and an owner never showed up to reclaim her.  Bernice is a gorgeous tricolor lady whose beautiful markings are very evident in her photos.  She weighs 28 pounds so she is considered to be a medium sized young adult dog.

Since Bernice is a stray, we are still learning about her.  We know she gets along well with other dogs but does show some food aggression.  If you have another dog it would be best if you fed Bernice separately from other pets.  We believe this pretty girl would be good with children.  Bernice will need a patient owner who will take up a lot of time with her; it is apparent no one has ever spent much time with her.  This beautiful dog just needs a new start on life with a family who will love her. 

 *** Four of these female Beagle/Hound mixes came in together as strays from the same area.  They all appear to be about the same age; we believe they may be littermates.  None of these dogs have been leash trained and it appears no one has ever really worked with them.  All four are very sweet girls who just need a new start on life.

Our adoption fee is $120.00 for dogs and $50.00 for cats.  Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, discounted spay/neuter, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices.  Unless otherwise indicated under “special needs” our dogs have screened heart worm negative.  

The shelter is located at 1009 Reuben Road in Prattville.  Our regular hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 am until 4 pm.  We do close one day each month for staff training—that day in May will be chosen later in the month.  Adoptions are currently by appointment only.  For more information about our shelter, please call 358-2882, find us on Facebook at Prattville/Autauga Humane Society, email autaugahumane@yahoo.com., or visit our website at www.prattvilleautaugahumane.org.

Thank you for all you do in helping these precious pets find new homes.

Sincerely,

Ara Horn
