Ichabod Jasmine

Polk County Animal Control wants to make sure that pets within the shelter have every opportunity of finding forever homes. Officials have reduced the adoption fees for cats for the time being to help encourage adoptions. The fee for cat adoptions is now $10. The adoption fee for dogs remains $40.

Jasmine (ID No. 48695197) was picked up as a stray. Her sister Ariel (ID No. 48695211) is also at animal control. They both look very similar and the pictures are of Jasmine. Both are chocolate brown lab/shepherd type mixes. Jasmine is solid chocolate. Ariel has just a touch of white on her chest. They are young adults, approximately 1 year old, and weigh about 50 pounds. Both have had their first in the series of distemper/parvo vaccines. They are very friendly and enjoy attention. They walk on a leash and will sit when asked. They can be adopted separately or together. They will make great family pets.
