Bille was just hanging out at an abandoned house over the weekend. She is a very sharp, blue (silver), pit bull mix who weighs 40-50 pounds. She is still adjusting to shelter life. She is confident and walks fairly well on a leash. To adopt her or inquire about other available pets, call the Durant Animal Shelter, 924-3737 option 3. Photo provided | City of Durant
