Pet of the week

This playful and friendly male dachshund-basset hound mix is between 1 and 2 years old. He is very loving and loves people. He will be available Monday for adoption from Columbia County Animal Care and Control. The center will be closed Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving but will reopen at 8 a.m. Monday. For more information, call 541-4077 or visit www.columbiacountyga.gov and follow the links to Animal Care and Control. Adult animals, such as today's Pet of the Week, cost $25 to adopt, and the adoption fee for puppies and kittens is $20. All animals must be spayed or neutered.
