Meet Fred. This is one happy go lucky fella.

We acquired him after he wandered into a place of business and no owner was ever found. He loves other dogs and is well-behaved in basic obedience class. This cool pup is just happy to hang out with anyone willing and makes friends wherever he goes.

Stop by the Columbia Animal Shelter at 127 Human Ln. off Shop Road to come meet Fred and other pets that are in need of a good home. For any additional questions, feel free to call 803-776-7387.

Please remember that all of our pets need loving homes. To view other animals up for adoption, visit Petfinder.com.

Columbia Animal Shelter

Welcome to The State’s first Pet of the Week posting. We plan to publish (nearly) weekly as a public service in partnership with the Columbia Animal Shelter. The pets are chosen by the shelter staff, who also write the descriptions. Call the shelter at the number provided in the description or check Petfinder.com to find out if a featured pet is still available for adoption.

We will make this and future Pet of the Week postings available here.
