Pet of the Week: Estelle

Estelle is a 2-year-old spayed female American Staffordshire terrier mix, ID 59768.

Estelle has been in a foster home for almost three months and has learned to be a great house pet. She is house trained and crate trained and will chew only on her toys that are given to her. She is well-behaved, smart and fun loving, and she knows all the essential commands.

She also plays a mean game of fetch! She is quiet and loving and enjoys hanging out with you watching TV or while you work on the computer. Estelle does get along with older dogs who don't want to play and large male dogs who can match her energy.

She does need a home with no cats, and she will do best with children 10 years and older.

Estelle is available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. Her $85 adoption fee includes spay, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations and vet exam.

For more information, call (760) 888-2247 or log on to www.escondidohumanesociety.org. The Escondido Humane Society Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.
