Billy The Gentle Giant Is Looking For His Fur-Ever Home
Billy the gentle giant is our Mutt Monday dog this week. Billy is a stunning pup with a great personality. This 8-month-old, 48-pound Great Dane mix is growing into a true gentle giant. He has loved going out to events with us and makes friends with everyone he meets. He has even been a model for a commercial photo shoot and did a great job! Billy is a very sweet, curious boy and will make a great addition to your family.
Where Pet Pal Animal Shelter Is
Every Monday we highlight a dog that is available for adoption at Pet Pal Animal Shelter. Billy the Gentle Giant is our Mutt Monday dog this week and he is available at Pet Pal Animal Shelter in St. Pete.
Pet Pal’s Mission Statement is, “Our mission is to rescue dogs and cats from shelters that may otherwise be euthanized due to time limitations, illness, injuries or lack of socialization and training. We are dedicated to educating the public about the pet overpopulation crisis, the importance of spaying/neutering, and responsible pet ownership.”
Finally, Pet Pal is open from Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. Pet Pal is located at 405 22nd Street South in St. Pete. They also have a thrift store that supports the efforts of the shelter.
When you go to a shelter to look for an animal, seeing all the dogs will be emotional. Getting an animal is a huge life decision but it is also a gratifying one as well.
If you adopt our Mutt Monday dog, Billy the Gentle Giant, it is sure to brighten up your life. Check him out at Pet Pal Animal Shelter in St. Pete.

They looked at 2,700 landmarks across the United States to come up with this list. They broke it down into different categories like this which places have the most hashtags on Instagram. Categories are national parks, casinos, state parks, NFL stadiums, MLB stadiums and zoos and aquariums.
The #1 overall photographed landmark in the United States is Central Park New York. That is followed by Broadway, New York, and then Times Square, New York. New York City comes in number 1, 2 and 3. New York City has six of the top 10 most Instagrammable landmarks in the United States.

Love that three of our Tampa landmarks land in the top 20 in the state of Florida. I wish there were more as there are many more that could be on the list. Just a few I can think of include Raymond James Stadium, Amalie Arena the University of Tampa. Ybor City would be a place that I thought would be on the list. I know it’s not necessarily in Tampa but in the Tampa Bay area how about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
