Success Story: Carmella Walks And Talks Femininity
Carmella may have come to Hillsborough County Animal Services in Tampa, FL, as a stray, but she had the distinction of being a particularly lovely and dainty pit bull. Feminine isn’t a word usually associated with pits, but Carmella is no usual dog! HCAS volunteers made her a frilly collar and loved to take her on outings. They couldn’t say enough about her perfect, ladylike behavior outdoors.
Along came Kristine and Sara Surgeons, who attend the University of South Florida. They did their homework and carefully researched the kind of dog they were looking for. They came across a “foster needed” plea by HCAS volunteer Connie Johnson, and the rest was history once they met the beautiful Carmella!
Carmella was the very fist adoption from the new Hillsborough Pitbull Ambassador program! The new family is getting along famously, and Carmella is enjoying the upgrade on her name—Meela.
