Patch to Debut Pet of the Week

In the coming weeks, Patch will debut a new feature: Pet of the Week.

This weekly column will feature animals up for adoption at the Tri-City Animal Shelter. You’ll learn more about the animals, what their personalities are like and what kind of home they need.

In the meantime, here is some information provided by the City of Fremont’s Animal Services Department that you might find useful if you end up falling in love with one of the animals to be highlighted.
