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: Buckshot is an affectionate boy who loves his walks and attention from the people he is with. He weighs 55-60 pounds and walks well on the leash. He tries to be house trained and should get the hang of it quickly when he is able to go outside more. Buckshot came to us with several pellets in him and two seromas that had to be drained. He should do well with children because he is gentle and easy-going and would love a forever home with a big fenced yard where he can run and play with some kids and a dog buddy. And of course he looks forward to lots of walks and hugs and TLC when he is with his family.
