Pet of the Week: Puppy for Adoption is a 'Timid Soul'

Several dogs and cats are currently available for adoption or rescue through Genesee County Animal Control.

This week, the department is highlighting the 5-month-old “red-headed” mix-breed dog seen in the photo to the right. His adoption fee is $50, which will be refunded after he is neutered.

He is described by the shelter as a "timid soul" and has "been waiting patiently but needs to get out of the shelter." For more information on this dog, contact Cheri Martin at cherispt@comcast.net.

You can find a full list of available animals for adoption, as well as photos, at the county's most recent post on Fenton Patch.

The shelter is located near Flushing at 4351 W. Pasadena Road in Flint.
