ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - ABC Action News works with local shelters to help find homes for dogs every Friday morning our Pet of the Week segment.

This week you have an opportunity to add a little sweetness and warmth to your life with Cocoa. She is a 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a heart of gold.

According to the American Kennel Club, terriers are intelligent, good-natured dogs who are excellent guardians.

Shelter workers say Cocoa is a beautiful dog with great leash manners.

Thanks to the Pit Project and her Guardian Angel sponsor, Darlene Tennell, Cocoa's adoption fee is only $75. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. You must own your own home to adopt him.

For more information about how to adopt Cocoa or other adoptable animals at Pet Pal Animal Shelter, you can call them (727) 328-7738 or go online to www.petpalanimalshelter.com.
