Sebastian is cuddly, lovable, friendly, laid back and likes other dogs. He’s not a puppy and he has heartworms — those are the only reasons we can think of for his waiting around since June for a home. His wait is over.

Congrats to Dory and her new people! Hopefully we will get updates, progress reports and pictures…
Ms. Muse fell for one of our dogs she saw on our Facebook page (Charlie) but by the time she asked about him, he’d already been adopted. She didn’t let that happen again!
