Save Me: Adoptable Pets From Pinellas County Animal Services

Jewel Trades Treats for Hugs

Meet Jewel and friends at Pinellas County Animal Services.

Meet Jewel (#287644). This two year old pit bull terrier mix is a real supermodel – she posed for the camera right on the first shot! As with other supermodels, she’s a svelte 44 pounds, and is possibly mixed with a Shepherd. She’s also a show off, taking her treats around to show them off in exchange for being petted. Yes, she’s a real show stopper! If you bring this article with you to Animal Services, Jewel can be yours for the low fee of $25.  And, remember, every single one of the pets offered for adoption at Animal Services are spayed or neutered and have all of their required shots.

Lucky Duck Survives Arrow in Its Neck (VIDEO)

After a crossbow bolt is removed from his neck, Quackers is on the way to a full recovery.

Quackers is one lucky duck. Found with a crossbow bolt through his neck last week, Quackers was picked up by Pinellas County Animal Services and taken into surgery, where the arrow was removed.  Pinellas County Animal Control Officer John Hobson had joined forces with Damen Hurd and Derrick Ross of Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation in Bradenton to rescue the duck, which was in a St. Petersburg pond.

Sabrina's Brindle Color is Deceiving

Sabrina's a brindle shepherd, who may be overlooked.

Sabrina is a beautiful 9-month-old brindle shepherd mix. Her color, though pretty, gets her overlooked because it's a common pitbull color. Besides her color, there's no good reason why Sabrina shouldn't have a home. She's playful, but very loving. She's calm and sweet on a leash and loves to cuddle up on a lap. How to Adopt Sabrina is ready to go to her forever home. The adoption fee is $40 and includes the first set of shots, spaying or neutering, a collar and leash, a bag of food and a toy for the dog. We've attached an adoption form (PDF) to make it easy. Adopt Sabrina, and we will feature your photo with your new pet on Patch, too! How to Help If you can't adopt, but still want to help, Animal Services always needs volunteers. Contact…
