petChina is a spayed female, brownish-black lab mix. She’s about 6 months old and has a puppy’s energy but can be just as happy cuddling up with her human. Who could resist those beautiful brown eyes? She’s been at the shelter since April 18, so her adoption fee has been waived. Please visit her at Dallas Animal Services, 1818 Westmoreland Road, and ask for China, A833337.

The Adoption Center is open 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 12 noon until 5 p.m. on Sunday. All adopted pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Standard adoption fees are $85 for dogs and $55 for cats. They also offer discounts on adoption fees for pets over 6 years of age, to any senior citizen that adopts a pet, and to anyone adopting more than one pet at a time.
