VIDEO: Meet June Bug the Playful Pit Bull Terrier

Each week we introduce you to a new animal from the Iowa City Animal Shelter that needs a good home. This week meet Junebug, a friendly active young pit bull.

Liz Ford, animal care technician at the , introduces us to June Bug. Ford says June Bug is a friendly young pit bull that would be a perfect fit for an active owner, including families with children above the age of six. She says June Bug has already received training while at the shelter and she has a good sit and an even better down.

For more information on adopting June Bug, you can call the Animal Shelter at: (319) 356-5295. Or visit the shelter at 4852 Sand Rd SE.
