Humane Society's Pet of the Week: An English Bulldog

The Connecticut Humane Society in Newington is hoping to find someone who wants to adopt Sammie, a purebred English Bulldog, and Patch's featured pet of the week.

Sammie is a 2-year-old English Bulldog that enjoys the company of older children, dogs and cats.

"Even though he's a purebred, his type of English Bulldog is not that common," Public Relations Director Alicia Wright said in an email Friday morning.

If you are interested in Sammie or any of the other animals at the Connecticut Humane Society, log onto its website to see a gallery of all the adoptable pets and to learn about the adoption rules and procedures. 

, a 4-year-old Chihuahua, is still available for adoption.

The Connecticut Humane Society is located at 701 Russell Rd. in Newington and its phone number is (800) 452-0114. The hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you have plenty of pets at home but still want to help out these great animals, the organization is always accepting donations of food, toys and supplies.
