Hey there, awesome humans! It’s me, Murray!

I’m an 11-month-old male Pit Bull/Retriever mix, and I’m on the hunt for my forever family! Weighing in at 60 pounds, I’m a friendly guy who absolutely LOVES belly rubs and being petted. 🥰

Just look at my stunning blue eyes—they’re ready to melt your heart!

I’ve got a bit of youthful energy, so I’m always up for some fun and adventure. But don’t worry, I also know how to settle down and enjoy some cuddle time!

What I really need is a loving family to embrace me and share endless love, affection, and joy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your life with happiness, I’m your pup!

🐶 **ID #58317514** — Let’s meet and see if we’re a perfect match! I can’t wait to bring my love into your home! 💖

Pet ID’s are important because it helps ensure the safety and well-being of our furry friends. Just like humans carry identification, pets should be properly identifiable too. If a pet were to get lost or go missing, having a form of identification, such as an ID tag and/or a microchip, can greatly increase the chances of being reunited with their owner. ID tags provide a quick and easy way for someone who finds your pet to contact you directly, while microchips, which are implanted under the pet's skin, provide a more permanent and tamper-proof form of identification. This information can be incredibly beneficial in reuniting lost pets with their families, reducing the stress and anxiety that comes with a pet being lost.

How has sweet Frankie not been adopted yet? Seriously, he’s handsome, has a loving personality and will be an all-around best friend! Let’s find Frankie a forever home!

Frankie AKA our newest dog model. 😍

This loveable pittie is a VIP Adoptable Pet at Arlington Animal Services. Frankie is a VIP Pet because he tested positive for heartworms. As a part of National Heartworm Awareness Month, our shelter is sponsoring the heartworm treatment for any dog adopted in the month of April. We want a family to enjoy their new adopted pet, without the worry of the financial obligation heartworm treatment may bring. Don't wait, as a VIP Pet, Frankie can be adopted for just $10, heartworm treatment included!!

Let's share and find Frankie a home!

DEALING WITH PROBLEM CATS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

Start by talking to your cat-caretaker neighbors about your frustrations and concerns then give them time to resolve the problem.

Deterrents and Tips
- Scatter orange or lemon peels or spray with a citrus-scented spray; cats generally dislike citrus
- Mix water and vinegar to spray at the base of trees and plants around your house
- Use cat repellent (available at pet supply stores) around the yard, on top of fences, around any favorite plants and on any favorite digging spots
- Scatter coffee grounds in the area - cats dislike the smell
- Try growing Rue or scattering dried Rue - cats dislike the smell
- Soak strips of old towel or rag in perfume or cologne and keep near target plants.
- Keep garbage cans tightly covered to control rodents which may be attracting feral cats
- Push chopsticks or plant stakes into flower beds every 8 inches to discourage digging
- Cover child sandboxes when not in use
- Use motion-activated sprinklers
- Make the yard uncomfortable for cats to use - build a rock garden
- Try an ultrasonic animal repellent - (eg - CatStop, etc)

Let’s Talk About Opossums!

Think opossums are dirty, disease-ridden pests? Think again!

MYTH: Opossums carry rabies and destroy property.
FACT: Opossums do not transmit rabies or distemper. These marsupials (not rodents!) are cleaner than you think—grooming themselves like cats.

They can’t jump, can’t dig big holes, and with their delicate nails, they won’t tear up your yard. Instead, they help keep it healthy by eating venomous snakes, rats, cockroaches, and other pests.

So next time you see one waddling through your yard, give them a wave instead of a scare. Coexisting with opossums is not only cheaper—it’s better for the environment too.

Let’s coexist, not fear.
