Midland Odessa Pet Of The Week

Every Wednesday we feature a different pet that needs a new forever home here in the Basin from Lonestar Sanctuary For Animals. Sometimes it's a dog, sometimes it's a cat. They haven't had any guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, or snakes---yet. But you never know!

Meet Clyde!

This adorable two-and-a-half-year-old American Bully came to the Sanctuary after he ran in front of one of the staff members' cars! Everyone at the Sanctuary instantly fell in love with his sweet face and gentle nature! Clyde was found with a female buddy, but he hasn’t been tested with other dogs yet. He is a great car rider and an all-around happy guy! Clyde’s adopter would need to have a fenced-in yard and live in a house. Are you ready for slobbery kisses and sweet cuddles? Come meet Clyde during our visiting hours of 1-4:30 pm every day except Thursdays!

Once home, remember the rule of three: three days to decompress, three weeks to get used to your routine and home, and three months to feel completely at home.

Lonestar Sanctuary For Animals is located at 4200 Fairgrounds Road in Midland. Visiting hours are 1 pm until 4:30 pm, every day except Thursday.
