Animal Shelter Society Pet of the Week: Meet Whitney!

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Our Pet of the Week from the Animal Shelter Society is as sweet as chocolate and will always love you.

Whitney is a 9-year-old Terrier who weighs around 20 pounds. April Gibson, the executive director of the Animal Shelter Society, says Whitney would prefer for an adult-only home and is an excellent lap dog.

“She’s a sweet pup. She’s got a great disposition,” Gibson said. “She’s going to work best in a home that’s quiet. She’s going to like low noise, low key and all that type of thing. So, she would be absolutely wonderful for that. She doesn’t mind riding in the car, she doesn’t mind her bath, she’s just a super pup. And don’t let her grey muzzle fool you. Grey Muzzle Clubs are really cool. She still has plenty of pep in her step. She runs, she plays but she just likes to lay, be laid back.”

As the holiday season is gearing up, the Animal Shelter Society is now accepting donations that help them care for animals like Whitney as part of the Santa Paws donation drive.

“Snouffer Funeral Home just stopped by and made a wonderful donation that’s on our wish list that you can find on our website, AnimalShelterSociety.org. And you know, as a 100% nonprofit, this is what it takes for us, you know, sending stuff like this,” Gibson said. “The Clorox, Clorox is the big need we have. Scoopable litter is another one and then you have, you know, the little lambies for dogs like Whitney and the paper towels. So, Santa Paws, you can drop it off here.”
