Subject: Seminole Tribe Dogs/Pig *The Pitiful Pitties*Hey all! Thankfully, we got a few dogs out and hopefully another 2 going on Monay. We are still holding a cruelty case dog for who knows how much longer. I know the pits and curs aren’t the prettiest, but the ones I have are good dogs. I can keep holding as long as I have room, but next month they’re going to try to get some much needed maintenance done in the kennels. Ideally, the kennels need to be empty, but I can maybe make it work with the 4 outside kennels. *If anyone has room for friendly kittens (3-4 mo old), please reach out. I am trying to help Okeechobee Animal Control with their influx of kittens. I can transport*. If you have any room, I can be reached via email, phone, or text. Work cell 863-228-6265. Personal cell 812-241-9572. We have no public adoptions and only utilize rescues. We also have no vetting, but can usually help with transport. I do have a limited number of heartworm tests, flea/tick, heartworm prevention, dewormer, and FELV tests upon request. *Please note, all my face to face dog testing is done on leash due to not having an area to test off leash*
