Adoptable Pet of the Week
Hyena
1 year old｜Hound mix｜Spayed female

Hyena here! Don’t let my name fool you; I am very cute and adorable. I have never met a stranger and can be quite the social butterfly. I enjoy playing tug-of war and chewing on hard toys. I don’t understand the game of fetch, but I will gladly run around and watch you chase after the ball you throw. I would be good with children who can teach me new tricks. I already know how to sit and lay down. I would not be opposed to having another dog friend, but I would need patience, as I am slow to adjust to new environments and sharing attention. Also, I am still learning to play with other dogs. I have wished for a family for a long time and just ask that you give me a chance to be a part of your family.

If you are interested in ado pting Hyena, ple ase contact the Bryan Animal Center , 979.209.5260 to schedule an appointment to visit.
