Description

A521157Approximately one year old, neutered maleIt is recommended that this dog be placed in a home without small children.This dog was brought to the shelter following a wellness check, which revealed that his previous owner had abandoned him without access to food or water. Despite multiple attempts to contact the known owner, they failed to respond to our calls. Initially shy, this dog forms strong bonds with his caregivers and proves to be a kind companion. Upon arrival, he had severe matting on his back and a flea infestation, which have since been addressed. During his stay at the shelter, he has received the distemper parvo vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine, dewormer, flea prevention, and has been microchipped and neutered.Please note that this dog requires regular daily combing, brushing, and grooming.The adoption fee is $60. Adoption hours are Monday through Friday, 11:00-3:30, and Saturday, 8:00-11:30. If you have other dogs or children in your household, a meet-and-greet with all family members is mandatory.
