Staff at the Wood County Humane Society were contacted earlier this week by Anthony C. Ferrante, director of the “Sharknado” franchise, who offered to help the organization find a forever home for one of its canine residents. That resident is a dog dubbed Sharknado.
Named for a made-for-television, science-fiction disaster film that originally aired on Syfy in the summer of 2013, Sharknado is approximately 2 years old and is a neutered, white, male dog. He has been in the shelter since Sept. 12. Sharknado’s adoption fee is $125.
Ferrante took to his Twitter account earlier this week, offering an autographed Blu-Ray of the original Sharknado to the dog’s adopters.
Those interested in meeting or/and adopting Sharknado can visit the Wood County Humane Society at 801 Van Camp Road, Tuesday through Sunday. Adoption hours are Tuesday and Wednesday 12 to 6:30 p.m., Thursday through Sunday 12 to 4:30 p.m.
Since the airing of the original “Sharknado” movie, the franchise has spawned five sequels, including “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!,” “Sharknado: The 4th Awakens,” “Sharknado 5: Global Swarming,” and “The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time.”
The Wood County Humane Society, located in Bowling Green, is a private, non-profit, managed admission shelter providing care for homeless and abused or neglected pets. The organization receives no funding from national humane organizations for daily operations, instead relying on earned revenue and the generosity of individual donors and businesses to fund programs such as humane investigations, Safe Pets, food assistance programs, low-cost spay/neuter opportunities, and educational presentations.
The WCHS provides care for over 1,000 animals each year—from dogs and cats, to the occasional pocket pet or farm animal. All animals admitted into the adoption program are housed and cared for as long as it takes to find their adoptive home.
