Pet of the Week
 Sweet Saguaro has been waiting to find his family since February! He longs for endless cuddles and love. He enjoys long walks outside, fetch and making a splash in the kiddie pool. He’d do best in a home with an active family that would take him on adventures and will allow him to be their personal trainer.
Happy Tails
“Booker (formerly Marcus) was so shy and scared when I brought him home. He spent most of his time hiding under the couch or under my bed the first few weeks. I knew it would take some time for him to adapt. Fast forward a month later and he has totally broken out of his shell! He loves his toys, loves to cuddle and loves running around the dog park. He is so spoiled and such a happy boy! We absolutely adore him!”.
