No more worries as a dog on the street, now I have food in my tummy, a warm cozy bed, and lots of friends and most important…LOVE!! I’m thankful to be given this chance to become Ambassador and proud to annouce that during today’s Open House, I witnessed 15 of my shelter friends find their FURever homes!
