Pet of the week: Nellie is a 10-month-old hound mix who loves rides in the car

ABC Action News works with local shelters to find homes for pets through our weekly Pet of the Week feature. This week we are featuring Nellie, a 10-month-old Hound mix from Pet Pal Animal Shelter. According to the American Kennel Club there are dozens of different types of hounds, but they all make great family pets.  Shelter workers say Nellie is smart and eager to please and will grow into an excellent companion. She rides well in the car and would do best in a home with a large backyard. Nellie is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200. For more information about how to adopt Nellie or other animals from Pet Pal Animal Shelter, you can call them (727) 328-7738 or go online to www.petpalanimalshelter.com.
