Backstory: Morty, and his brother Rick, were turned in as strays in May of 2023. Both were adopted after a couple of months and Morty was sadly returned shortly after due to allergies. This poor dude just wants to be around people at all times. The shelter staff allow him to hangout with them in the main office during the days and he is content to just be with them and lounge around. Morty is good with children, other dogs of all sizes and ages, and we foresee him being good with cats due to his temperament.
