Champaign County Pet of the Week

Dakota is an 11-week-old male German Shepherd/Shar Pei mix. He is currently a small puppy at 20 pounds, but we are guessing he will grow up to be a medium-sized dog. Dakota was surrendered to us by his owner, along with his two siblings. He is playful but very calm for a puppy, and he loves to cuddle. Dakota is up to date on vaccinations (including rabies) and has tested negative for heartworm.

Come visit him at the Paws Animal Shelter, 1535 W. U.S. Highway 36, in Urbana. You can also visit www.facebook.com/paws.urbana or petfinder.com. Shelter hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and closed Sundays and Mondays. The shelter can be reached at 937-653-6233.
