Adopt-a-Pet Feb. 11

Adopt-a-Pet Feb. 11

The following animals are ready to be adopted from the Brandywine Valley SPCA in West Chester.

Sandy

Sandy

Sandy is a dainty lady. But when she’s not greeting visitors with a calm wiggle, she occasionally lets her hair down and likes to play. Sandy would make a great choice for someone who will treat her like the princess she was born to be, and she’d be happy to meet any other dogs in the castle to see what everyone thinks of each other. Adopt this 5-year-old, or any of her large adult dog pals, for just $14 in the Big Love promotion through Sunday, Feb. 17.

Bing

Bing is elegant in black and white. She loves grabbing attention and the chance to play. She can entertain anyone, including herself, so she would prefer a home with older children who understand that she needs to be Ms. Independent sometimes. This 2-year-old can be adopted for a fee you name through Sunday, Feb. 17.

For more information, go to www.bvspca.org or phone 484-302-0865.
