Shelter Animal of the Week

Find a friend for your pup in Watson, a 4 to 5-year-old Collie mix.

Even if you already have one dog, you may want to consider adopting a companion for them and helping to relieve the local shelters that are filled to the brim with pets.  There are many dogs up for adoption that get along well with other pooches, such as this week’s shelter animal, Watson.

Watson is a medium-sized 4 to 5-year-old Collie mix who was found as a stray in December of 2010 and brought to the , where he soon became a favorite amongst shelter staff and volunteers.  Now, he enjoys going for walks at the dog park and meeting other canine friends.  He has a great disposition, and he gets along very well with people.

Watson is neutered, housetrained, and up-to-date with all of his routine shots.
