'Pet of the Week' - Saint

In an effort to spread the word about animal adoption and to help these loving animals find fur-ever homes, the City of Lewisville will feature a Pet of the Week each week in this media packet, available for adoption at the Gene Carey Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, 995 E. Valley Ridge.

This week's featured pet is Saint, a 2-year-old male Terrier, American Pit Bull/Mix.

Saint is a handsome boy who likes to go with the flow. He is vaccinated, wormed, microchipped, had flea treatment applied, and is sterilized. He has tested positive for heartworms, but please don't let that scare you away - heartworm disease is very treatable. Lewisville Animal Services will provide Saint's heartworm treatment. Please call the shelter at 972.219.3478 for more information about the heartworm treatment protocol.

Anyone interested in Saint can submit an application through the "Adoptable Pets" page at cityoflewisville.com. Just click on his picture and follow the unique URL to begin an online adoption application. Once the application has been submitted, Lewisville Animal Services will call the applicant on or before the next business day. If approved, staff will counsel the potential adoption and will schedule an appointment for an in-person visit with Saint.
