About Target

Target is a charming dog with a knack for captivating attention, and his recent adventure with a peanut butter jar only adds to his appeal. Found wandering with this snack in tow, he showed off his easygoing nature to an Animal Control Officer. Target approached with relaxed body language, unbothered by stray cats, and readily hopped into the truck without a fuss. At the shelter, his friendly disposition continues to shine. He's already mastered sit, enjoys treats (taking them with remarkable gentleness), and is easy to walk on a leash. Non-reactive around other dogs, Target knows how to seek affection, often resting his head in your lap for some tender moments. This adorable pup is truly hard not to love. As of now, Target is set for adoption on October 1 unless claimed earlier. If you're interested in making him part of your family or want to join his waiting list, contact Citrus County Animal Services at 352-746-8400. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
