The Shankwiler family stopped by Petsmart when we were there with adoptable dogs and noticed Buford (tan shepherd). They were impressed with his calm demeanor and even though they weren’t in the market for a new dog, thought he might make a good friend for their dog Bella who has some anxiety issues. Bella met…
Saturday’s Dog Olympics were fun, and fruitful for Astro who got a home out of the deal! Thanks for everyone who came out to participate. We had some pooped volunteers and worn-out dog athletes afterward — it was all worthwhile. Congrats Astro! Thank you for adopting!
