My owner had to give me up because of financial reasons, and now I’m looking for a new family to share my King Kong-sized heart with. I’m strong, I’m athletic, I’m a love bug, I’m a family member, I’m a pitbull! I love fetch and am good with polite and playful dogs. I need an experienced owner — one who will commit to taking me through obedience classes. I’m housetrained and have lived with children. In addition to my adoption fee, there’s a $100 training fee so that I can become an ambassador of my proud and loyal breed.

To adopt a featured pet or to learn more call the Animal Care League at (708) 848-8155, visit the shelter at 1011 Garfield St., Oak Park, or email animalcare@ameritech.net. Available online at animalcareleague.org.

People who love their pets get ID tags for them. It’s the right thing to do and it’s a village law. If you lose a pet or find someone else’s, call Pioneer Press at (847) 998-3400 to put a free, lost or found, ad in classifieds.~ ~.
