Update! He's gone home!

Found at the Bible Church by Sonic. This sweet boy is clean, neutered, claws clipped, and unchipped. He has a possible littermate that ran into the woods. If he's yours, come claim him!

This good boi was returned to us after a failed adoption, through no fault of his own. He's a puppy, so expect high energy, and he'll need to know the rules. Help us give him a family!
