Membership Info

Lucas
is a sweet orange and white boy
who is looking for a forever home.


Possum
This is "Possum," so named because
 of him being very shy. He and his family
were found abandoned at a landfill.
His siblings have been adopted but this
shy Possum just hasn't found the right
person yet. He is currently about four years
old and weighs about 50 pounds. Adopting an
adult dog like Possum means you do not
have to wonder what he will look like when
he grows up or what personality he will
develop. There will be no surprises. Possum
is currently in foster care but it just isn't the
same as having his own family.
His foster mother's number is 704 - 462-2349

Rich

Rich was born in Feb of 2007. He is a little shy
and very sweet he gets along well with other
dogs and all people.
