Bartlett Pet of the Week

Russell-121715

The Bartlett Animal Shelter has cuddly pets of different ages and sizes who are ready to find loving homes.

In the photo above, Russell is a black lab mix about six months old, and shelter personnel say he is “just the sweetest thing.” He likes other dogs, cats and anybody willing to love on him.

Pet owners get a break when they select shelter animals like Russell: He has already been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

For more information on Russell or to make a donation, contact the shelter during business hours. Bartlett Animal Shelter is at 5220 Shelter Run Lane, and the phone number is (901) 385-6484. Hours are 1-4 p.m. Monday; 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday; and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. The shelter is closed on Sundays.
