🐾 ⭐️ SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT ⭐️ 🐾 These 2 pairs of pups were surrendered by their owners. Sadie & Savannah are from the same home and Andi Ray & Jackson Boyer were housemates. Sadly owner surrenders are the first to be in danger when the shelter gets crowded. They are all sweet babies and deserve 2nd chances. Go meet them from 10-2 this week (shelter is closed on Wednesday)!
