Here's Anchorage Animal Care and Control's Adoption of the Week, courtesy of Brooke Taylor, AACCC public relations coordinator.

Please meet Petey, an adult, male, pit bull mix. This youngster is happy, active, playful and energetic. He's friendly but shy at first meeting, and not a good mix for small children. Very intelligent, he's a fast learner and is getting all As in his shelter training class. Sits attentively for treats and takes them gently, and really wants to please. He loves interacting with people and has done well with other dogs in Shelter Dog Play Group. No end of potential with this pup! Petey can be adopted for $152, which includes his neuter deposit, MOA dog license, vaccinations and microchip. Call 343-8122 for more information.

Adoption update: Serenity has been adopted :)
