Thursday we said good bye to Cinnamon and Pokie. Cinnamon has been with us since 2014. Pokie was a drop off three years ago. They are both wonderful dogs and this will be their first time in a home. They both will reside at the same home with one of our members who lives in Saint Martinville. We know they will have a great home but it is with a heavy heart we say farewell.

Loki is a male pit/boxer mix that’s potty trained, great with people of all ages, and generally great with any non dominant dog. He’s your 30 minute firecracker of bolting energy then will gladly settle in your lap to “recover”. He loves frolicking, toys, food, and belly rubs. Emergency placement needed!
