Tuscaloosa Patch Pet Of The Week: Vera

TUSCALOOSA, AL — Meet Vera, our Patch Pet of the Week!

Vera got to the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter a few weeks ago and was described as shy, mostly sitting in the corner of her kennel and waiting for meals.

Thankfully, the shelter says a kind foster mother took Vera into her home, where she has adjusted wonderfully. She is now house trained and can get sit on command, so long as a treat is involved. Vera is also described as good with dogs and cats, alike.

The shelter wants prospective owners to know that Vera does have heart worms, but has already started treatment.

If you're interested in meeting Vera or any other pets, call the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter at (205) 752-9101.
