Shelter Spotlight
They call me…HULK
If you are into adorable Pitbulls with lots of muscle, then I am for you!
My name is Hulk, and like my name I am strong, yet gentle. I weigh 81 pounds, and if we liked each other, I could go home with you today!
You can see more pictures of Hulk the Pitbull, plus other shelter dogs, and a great slide show of shelter cats at: Paws to Adopt.com
