PETS OF THE WEEK
Butch, 2 years old and 11 pounds, is looking for a home with experienced, patient adults without small children but maybe with another dog who will engage in hours of daily play with him. Butch is extremely anxious and uncomfortable in new environments and with new people. HEATHER’S FOSTER DOGS
Echo is a 5-year-old male terrier that was found as a stray. He is incredibly sweet and affectionate, and likes children and other dogs and enjoys belly rubs and going on walks. He was extremely skinny when found and he is receiving lots of food and treats to get him to a healthy weight.
