What to do this weekend? Check out Weekend!

Here are some things to do this weekend in Manatee and Sarasota counties.

This male (Sarge) is listed as a Pit Bull. If you like a dog that keeps you entertained, he is the one! He liked toys, and would sit for treats, and almost lay down, he's learning. He gave kisses generously and did his business the minute he was outside. Please give us a second chance to live and love. Adopt, transfer or foster us today!
