"Poochie," this roughly 2-year-old Pekingese mix, was turned in to Columbia County Animal Care and Control by his owner. Poochie is very friendly and good with people and loves to ride in cars. He is available for adoption from Columbia County Animal Care and Control. 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.
