UPDATE: ADOPTED

Meet Leah.

Leah is a terrier and is available for adoption at Orange County Animal Services.  She is believed to be somewhere between 1 and 2 years old.

This is one of the sweetest animals to ever step into into the WCHL/Chapelboro office.  She is friendly and made little noise while interacting with Ron Stutts and the rest of the staff.  The terrier is less than 10 pounds and would be the perfect lap dog.

October is Dog Adoption Month.  The adoption fee for Leah and her friends is $60.  See a full list of pets available for adoption at Orange County Animal Services here.

You can find Leah at Orange County Animal Services.

Orange County Animal Service’s mission is to meet the needs of residents by working with volunteers and other partners to deliver cost-effective and integrated sheltering and animal control services that ensure the health, safety and well being of humans, pets and the community as a whole. Addressing the problem of pet overpopulation with a proactive and positive approach is an integral ingredient of the department’s mission.

They are located on 1601 Eubanks Road in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  The adoption area opens to the public at noon, Monday through Saturday.  See their full hours here.

Listen to WCHL on 97.9 FM, 1360 AM, or online at Chapelboro.com.  Adopt-a-Pet, featuring a new pet that needs a home, airs every Tuesday at 8:40 AM.
