PAL ANIMAL SHELTER
Sweet, tiny Bella loves to be loved and can’t wait to make biscuits on her own fluffy bed. She is a quiet girl, happy curling up in a lap or playing with her favorite toys. Bella is a 2-yearold domestic shorthair who has lived with dogs and children. Say “cheese!” Holly’s got a smile that will win your heart. She loves to run full speed and kick up her heels! This happy girl will make a wonderful running or hiking companion. Holly is a 3-year-old, 48-pound husky mix. She will do best in a home with no small children, and you must own your home to adopt her.
Make Pinellas Count America gets one chance each decade to count its entire population and the 2020 Census is your chance to make sure Pinellas gets its fair share. The census determines the size of political representation and how billions of dollars are spent on federal and local programs. Public transit, affordable housing, school lunches, Medicaid and SNAP are just a few programs that rely on census data. Your response is secure, confidential and protected by law. The short survey is a civic duty laid out in the Constitution – and vitally important to your community’s future. Take the census by mail, phone or online. Visit pinellascounty.org/census2020 for more.
See Bella and Holly at Pet Pal Animal Shelter, 405 22nd St. S. Call 727-328-7738, petpalanimalshelter. com.
