Hillsborough Pet Resource Center
Shyla is an exotic, 1-year-old basenji mix. She was stray and timid, but now wags her tail in recognition of friends. Her breed is known as the "African barkless hound" for its unusual vocalizations, but to date, Shyla has been utterly silent. She's no doubt dreaming of a patient family to share affection, belly rubs and great chow. Adopt Shyla (ID 28699822), who is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped, at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center at 440 Falkenburg Road in Tampa. The center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, go to hillsboroughcounty.org/pets.
