Pet of the Week
Transylvania County Animal Services would like you to meet Chico! A delightful young black and white dog, just over a year old, ready to bring joy and energy into your home. With his high energy levels, he thrives in an active environment where he can play and explore. Chico is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs, although he’s not suited for homes with cats. He adores people and is always eager to make new human friends. Chico is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative, ensuring he is in tip-top shape for his new family. He handles the leash well and his motivation for food makes training a breeze. Currently, Chico knows how to sit and is diligently working on his manners. His charming personality and eagerness to learn make him a fantastic addition to any loving home.
Visit Chico at the Transylvania County Animal Shelter located at: 1124 Old Rosman Highway, open Tuesday through Friday 10am - 5:30pm, and Saturdays 10am til 4pm
