Our Featured Pet...

Our featured pet is "TOMMY". Tommy is a super cute mix, we think between a Dachshund and a ? He is a "low rider", that weighs around 30-35 lbs.

Tommy is around 2 years old, he is playful and active, and is a little clown. He would be a great pet for just about anyone who is wanting a fun loving, easy going, happy-go-lucky dog. Tommy has NEVER met a stranger, he LOVES children, and other dogs, he even likes CATS!

Tommy would love a home with children to play with and/or another playful dog to romp with.

Tommy is neutered, house and crate trained, loves car rides and is basically a PERFECT DOG! All he needs is a loving home.
