BOCA RATON – Hi, I’m Velvet, a Belgian Malinois, a female, age somewhere between 4 and 6, weighing 60 pounds.

I’ve had some hard times, but the nice people here see my inner beauty and have named me Velvet.

I’m missing a chunk of my ear, but my heart is intact and ready to love you when you adopt me.  I’m a friendly girl who will try to get your attention as you pass my run.  Please ask to meet me.

I’m housebroken and mannerly on a leash.  A great home for me may include older children and I do get along with most other dogs.  I’m so relieved to be at Tri County but I know the next step, into your heart and home, is really going to be great.  Please make my day!

I’m available for adoption at Tri-County Humane Society, a no-kill animal shelter located at 21287 Boca Rio Road in Boca Raton. The shelter is open for adoptions Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Adoption fees for companion animals are $110 and up. Animals are heartworm-tested and up-to-date on vaccinations.  Included in the adoption fee is one year of free office visits to Regency Veterinary Clinic.

Please visit us to find a lost pet or to consider adding a shelter dog or cat to your family.  We have puppies and kittens, too!  Call (561) 482-8110 or view many of our available animals and volunteer opportunities at: www.tricountyhumane.org.  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter at ‘TriCounty Humane’.
