Pet of the Week

May 3, 2022

This week’s Pet of the Week is Buscemi! Buscemi is a senior dog who spent most of his life with one owner. It takes some effort to earn his trust, but he will be a loyal and loving companion once you have it. Buscemi could use a patient home with someone who doesn’t mind a little extra effort earning love. We really want Buscemi out of our kennel and into a home so that he can spend the rest of his time living a true dog’s life. You can visit Buscemi and our other adoptables at the Adoption Center on Highway 62. All adoption fees are only $25 for Empty the Shelters! Submitted photo
