Featured pet of the week: Pookie

Meet Pookie, the dynamic Rhodesian Ridgeback mix ready to leap into your heart and home! This energetic 1.5-year-old pup is on a quest for a loving family to embark on exciting adventures together. Pookie is a big-hearted boy, but his boundless energy and enthusiasm sometimes make him unaware of his size. For this reason, we recommend a home without small children. With the right guidance and training, Pookie is sure to become a well-mannered companion. Pookie is the perfect partner for an active family who enjoys outdoor activities and playtime. He's eager to learn and is ready to start the new year with a fresh leash on life. Are you up for the challenge of shaping this lovable giant into the perfect furry friend? Stop by to meet him and all the other great animals available for adoption. The shelter is located at 232 Eslinger Way in Sanford. Adoption hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with extended hours on Wednesday until 6:30 p.m. You can view all of our adoptable dogs and cats at seminolecountypets.com.
