Meet Mona Lisa, Shelter Pet of the Week

Mona Lisa is a lovable little Pit Bull Terrier mix who’s one of the featured pets at the Town of Babylon Animal Shelter.

This year-old, already-spayed pup has a soft, short coat with a blend of white/cream, red and chestnut/orange coloring.

Mona Lisa got her name because the coloring on her mouth paints a perpetual half smile. DaVinci would approve of her expression, said the shelter.

Mona Lisa’s physique is petite, weighing in at about 35 pounds. And her head and ear set are reminiscent of a large Jack Russell, noted the shelter.

The shelter said she was timid at first, but is becoming affectionate with the staff and volunteers. Everyone at the shelter agrees that Mona Lisa is a sweet, little gal, and she’s seeking a forever home. Her ID number 93957.

For more information about Mona Lisa, call the TOB Animal Shelter at 631-643-9270, e-mail the shelter or visit the website.
