Tux, Jan. 9 Pet of the Week

AWWWWWWWW!

Tux, true to his name, has not removed his New Year’s Eve glad rags, even down to his white gloves and spats! Tux is hoping that he still has a chance to celebrate the new year in a home with a human or a family of his very own. The volunteers love him and say that he’s a great dog. He’s just had his neuter and is learning his leash manners quite well! Tux is only 8 months old, so he has lots of new years ahead of him. Can you make them happy ones? The shelter’s way over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt or foster Tux or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. Our shelter hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 7700 E. Spring St. at the entrance to El Dorado Park (no parking fee for shelter visitors. Ask for ID#A753234.
