Pet of the Week: Elsa

Sex: Female

Age: 2 years

Breed: Mixed

Elsa, a friendly and welcoming mixed breed dog approximately two years old, is looking for her forever home at Meridian Animal Shelter.

Found almost dead in sub-freezing temperatures, Elsa was seized by Meridian Animal Control officers and revived over the course of several months. Initially dehydrated, thin and pitiful, regular meals, water and attention have brought the smiling, playful dog out of her shell.

Elsa has had her vaccinations, been dewormed and given a flea and tick preventative. Her adoption fee is $100, which covers a spaying procedure.

To see Elsa or other adoptable pets visit City of Meridian MS Adoptable Animals on Facebook. Those unable to adopt but wanting to help out are encouraged to give to Meridian Animal Shelter’s spay and neuter fund to help spay and neuter adoptable pets.

For more information about adoptions, the spay and neuter program or other ways you can help shelter pets, contact Meridian Animal Control at 601-485-2325 or stop by their office at 501 Cooper Ave. Meridian Animal Control adoption hours are 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
