Pet of the Week
Toph came to us from the pound as a small puppy with her siblings. She is a tough little girl and survived the deadly parvovirus. We are so glad she did because she is a vibrant girl with lots of love to give! She is about a year old and weighs 45 pounds, the perfect size for a family to play with and then relax on the couch. Her sister was recently adopted and now Toph is the last of her litter to find a home. We urge you to visit her next time you come in, she is such a very loving girl! Stop in this week to meet Toph! We are open Wednesday through Friday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. If you are interested in adoption, please complete the online application before you come in to speed up the adoption process. We go in order of application received, so the sooner you get in your application, the better! Toph is one of our Special Pets which means her adoption fee is waived to an approved applicant!
