A sweet and gentle pup named Ariana is this week’s Pet of the Week and is looking for a loving forever home through the Chattooga County Animal Shelter.

Ariana is a female dog who is spayed, good with other dogs, and described by shelter staff as shy and gentle. She would make a wonderful companion for a patient family willing to give her time to settle in and feel comfortable.

The adoption fee for Ariana is $25, making it an affordable way to give a deserving pet a second chance.

The Chattooga County Animal Shelter is located at 464 Red Oak Drive in Summerville. The shelter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Wednesdays available by appointment. For more information about Ariana or the adoption process, call 706-857-0679.

Pet of the Week is brought to you by WZQZ FM 99.1 / AM 1180, highlighting adoptable animals in need of loving homes.
