Help South Suburban Humane Society Win $1,000

Purina Cat Chow kicked off its latest campaign '50 Years, 50 Shelters,' in an effort to help cats across the nation in need of shelter space.

Blondie Is In Town: Adopt Me!
This week’s featured pet is Blondie, a small two-year old pit bull.
Meet Blondie. No, it’s not Debbie Harry. Rather, a smaller-sized two-year-old pit bull terrier mix with a lot of love to give. This pretty baby has had a fairly rough past, so she’ll have to be the only pet in the house, but the folks at South Suburban Humane Society say she’s a playful and energetic pup. Perfect for a home with teenagers. You check out the South Suburban Humane Society website for more info on Blondie and other pets available for adoption.
