These dogs were at the Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter as of the date of this album.

Peanut - Male - Approx 3 years old. He came in very scared and not very trusting. The employees have helped him trust again and he enjoys being held and will give little kisses. Would do best in a calm household with no kids.
