PAWS Dog of the Week

If you missed our recent post on the breed-specific legislation bill pending in the Pennsylvania legislature, which would have an adverse effect on many of the dogs we've profiled on Phillyist, check it out here!

Napolean (ID# A04872884)

Napolean is a 1-year-old Pit Bull mix with a super-expressive face, as you can see. When he came to the shelter, he was wearing a collar, but his family never came to claim him. Napolean is a great dog. He gets along with dogs and cats, isn't food-aggressive, and isn't really possessive of toys. Napolean is still a puppy, and he can get rambunctious when he plays, so he does need a family who will make sure he gets some exercise, and then cuddle with him after a walk.

If you'd like to save Napolean, e-mail natalie@phillypaws.org. The adoption fee for a PAWS dog is $40, plus an $8 city license fee if you live in Philadelphia. The fee includes spaying/neutering, which will be performed before your new companion comes home with you, and microchipping. Also, make note of Napolean's ID number above, and bring it with you when you go to the PAWS shelter, which is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave (map).
