SALT LAKE CITY — Each Wednesday the Best Friend's Animals Society comes to KSL-TV's studios to feature a pet that needs a forever home.
Dodge is a 3-year-old pit bull “mix of some sort” who is known at the adoption center as a happy, smiling dog that looks like Winnie the Pooh, according Temma Martin from the Best Friend’s Animal Society.
“He’s got a big fat head and a big fat neck (like Winnie the Pooh), and he’s just a doll,” Martin said. “How could you not love him?”
He gets along well with kids and other dogs, and he walks nicely on a leash, Martin said. Dodge is just about easy-going and friendly as they come.
“When I went in (to pick up a dog) I said, ‘Who is an easy dog?’ And they said, 'Take Dodge.’"
To see more of the smiling Dodge, watch the video above.
If you are interested in a pet featured on Pet of the Week, you can call the Best Friends Animal Society at 801-574-2454. Animals featured on the show remain at the Sugar House pet adoption center, located at 2005 S. 1100 East, at least throughout the day they are featured and often beyond. Call ahead before visiting to ensure the animal is still available for adoption.
In July, the first 100 adult animals to be adopted are $25, and the first 50 kittens are $50.
The Best Friend’s Animal Society works with 52 shelters around the state to help facilitate adoptions. All animals featured are spayed or neutered, have a microchip and are vaccinated. Adoption fees vary. To see more animals available for adoption or to the adoption center’s monthly specials, visit its website at utah.bestfriends.org.
