Pet of the Day: In Need For Adoption: Abby the Cocker Spaniel/beagle mix

Abby: Cocker Spaniel, Dog; Clinton, IN

03/21/10 - Abby and Shadow were brought into the shelter as strays from the Sandytown/Klondike area on 03/21/10. They are very bonded and really enjoy the company of one another. Abby has a golden and white coat and appears to be a Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix. She is approximately five years old and is very overweight. We will be adjusting her diet to try to help her get to a healthy size. Abby has already been spayed, is up-to-date on her vaccinations, and has been wormed.  She is great with other dogs and she is housebroken. Abby and Shadow are quite bonded, and we would like to keep these two dogs together.  A person who likes to go for long walks would be a perfect match for Abby. Since she is over 5 years old, her adoption fee is only $10.

Unless otherwise stated, our standard adoption fee for our cats is $65 if they have already been spayed or neutered. For cats that have not yet been spayed or neutered, the adoption fee is $40 plus a surgery deposit of $50. Also, unless otherwise stated, the adoption fee for our dogs is $110 if the dog has already been spayed or neutered.  For dogs that have not yet been spayed or neutered, the adoption fee is $60 plus a surgery deposit of $50.  The surgery deposit will be refunded once the shelter receives proof of the completion of the spay or neuter surgery.
Our shelter is open to the public on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm and other times by appointment. If you would like to make an appointment to meet one of our many adoptable animals, please send an email to us at pvchs@abcs.com or call 765-492-3540 and leave a message. To apply to adopt, you may download an adoption application from the 'Applications and Fees' tab on our website. The web address is www.pvchs.cfsites.org. Please email the completed application to pvchs@abcs.com
