Foster Friday: Marco
This boy is ready to lead the job! Marco enjoys a relaxing atmosphere where he can wander and explore and enjoy the simple things in life. Sniffing squirrels in trees, finding mice in barns, naps in sunshine, he is ready to live his life with his new family. If you are looking for a loyal boy to keep you company throughout your chores during the day, Marco may be your man.
Reach out to us to set up a time to meet this handsome dude!

Update!! Lydia Kenyon guessed the closest! Congratulations!
When the DNA was tested for breeds, there was some additional information given! I’ve attached those findings to the rest of the photos. She is NOT predisposed to chrondrodystophy or IVDD! 🙂

Results are posted! Great guesses everyone.
LAYLA... let's play a game! Our foster family recently had Layla tested to see what she is... besides AMAZING. Well the results are in! So place your guess as to what all combined makes up this super-mutt. Winner gets bragging rights and an AWF t-shirt!
Plus LAYLA gets shameless exposure to showcase her beauty and hopefully find her future family.
We will release the results in 24 hours and announce the winner!
