Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.

Notes: Sgt Hashmark is about five years old and about 45-50 pounds. He is an easy-going dog who is gentle and likes both people and other dogs. He walks fairly well on leash and although he does not know commands when walking he does not pull excessively. He has probably lived outside most of his life and so is not yet house trained. Hashmark is a gentle boy not prone to jumping so should do fine with kids. Sgt Hashmark would love a forever home with a family who likes to walk with their dog in the woods and a big fenced yard where he can run and play with another dog or some kids.
