If you would like a loyal and friendly companion in a dog then meet “Chase”.

This week’s WJLE/DeKalb Animal Coalition featured Pet is a 1-2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier.

“Loyal and friendly, Chase hasn’t met a stranger. He has been working hard with volunteers and already knows how to fetch, sit, and has leash manners. Chase is such a handsome guy and it’s like he knows to pose for pictures. He is just waiting for the perfect home. Chase would be happiest as the only pet in the household. If Chase sounds perfect to you, give us a call,” said Shelter Director Megan Moore.

Call 615-597-1363.

The shelter, located at 186 Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive, is open Thursday and Friday from noon until 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon.
