Adoptable Pet of the Week
Baby Girl
2 years old|Pit bull mixSpayed female

Hi, my name is Baby Girl, and my name says it all! I am super sweet and I LOVE to cuddle. I swear I can fit in anyone’s lap and I will be happy to prove it to you! I’m great at sharing hugs and kisses, too. I love to be by your side all the time. I am not much into toys, but if you want to throw them around and go pick them up just to throw them again, for me to not go fetch them, I will definitely walk around and watch you! If you would like to spend your day snuggled on the couch with me, schedule an appointment with the Bryan Animal Center to meet me today!

If you are interested in adopting Baby Girl, please contact the Bryan Animal Center, at 979.209.5260 to schedule an appointment to visit.
"The Father of Brazos County": Harvey Mitchell was one of Bryan’s first and most influential residents. He organized the first school in 1841 and served as its first teacher, holding class in the home of Richard Carter. His crowning achievement occurred in 1871, when he arranged for the new land-grant college in Texas to be located just a few miles from Bryan. Today, we know it as Texas A&M University. Learn more about Harvey Mitchell and see his original surveying equipment.
