COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center has an adoption special available through March 17.

More than 110 dogs are waiting to find a forever home. FCDS has 70 dogs that have lived there for more than 30 days.

The center hopes to attract potential adopters before and on St. Patrick’s Day. All pitbull and pitbull mixes who are older than six months are available for adoption for $18. That is the cost of the license.

The video in this story shows one of these mixes. The center named the five-and-a-half-year-old pit bull mix “Mater.” He is housebroken and loves to play fetch, eat snacks, cuddle, and play with any toy you can toss at him.
