Finding Nemo: Pet of The Week

Looking to adopt a dog? Well, we found Nemo.

Looking for the perfect dog that you saw in your perfect dream playing with your perfect family? Well, we all have those visions from time to time when we start thinking about adopting a dog. Commiting to your pet is the first step in the adoption process and the whole family should be involved. Try to figure out what will make the adoption transition gentle on both your pet and your family.

We found a dog that fits the criteria that most adopters make top priority on their list. We found Nemo.

Nemo is a fully vaccinated two-year-old black and white pitt, with the personality of Petey from the classic series "Lil Rascals."

Here is Nemo's list of things he loves:

  • To be social and playful,
  • have belly rubbed,
  • play with kids and other dogs,
  • walk on a leash and
  • to pee outside. (Nemo says it doesn't necessarily have to be in that order.)

If Nemo fits your list, contact Toni Bracca at TLC located on 40 Oliver St. in Shelton at 203-925-9126.
