‘Star’ is ERAS ‘Pet of the Week’

Meet Star!

She’s a four-year-old spayed pit bull that loves to run and be free.

Of course, Star is up-to-date on all vaccinations. However, she is currently being treated for heartworms.

Star is 51 pounds of pure muscle, but she’s a lady and is gentle with strength.

Stop by East Ridge Animal Services on Yale Street this week and check Star out. The adoption free for Star has been waived this week.
