Meet Otter, he is a 7 year old Neutered Chocolate Lab who was brought in as a stray. Otter is already housetrained, knows "sit," and walks very well on a leash, following your lead and never pulling. Off leash in the yard, he prefers to stay close to you and leans up against your legs when you pet him. He's an older laid-
back dog with a modest amount of energy - he would love going on a nice walk and spending the rest of the time hanging out with you on the couch. Come meet Otter if you're looking for a dog who's quiet, already trained, doesn't require constant exercise, and would love to get out of the shelter and into a comfortable home of his own. We do not know if he is okay with other animals or children but seems okay with everyone he meets! He has a bit of discharge in his eyes and periodontal disease, but has a lot of love to give so please rescue Otter today!
Another dog that urgently needs rescue is Rugby. Rugby is a 7 month old Chow Mix who was brought in as a bite case, but we can't understand why! She's the sweetest dog around! She was originally brought in very scared and uncertain as to her surroundings. But since she has been here, she has just opened
up to everyone and loves to give kisses. She is still a bit scared when meeting new people, but once she gains your trusts, she is your new friend! We are uncertain if Rugby is housetrained, but I'm sure with being a 7 month old pup, she will need a refresher course!We do not know if she is okay with other animals or children, but should be in a quiet home while she is still gaining her trust. She will be sure to make a great forever companion. Please meet Rugby today!
