Puppies, puppies, everywhere... plus Lady Bug!
Have you been to the WHS website lately? Have you ever seen so many adorable dogs? This morning, we opened at 10:00 a.m. with 69 available dogs! Chihuahua puppies, 8-week-old Chow Chow puppies, not to mention gorgeous Labrador Retriever mix puppies! We also have a variety of terrific adults, who already know the ropes.
If you are looking for a sweet-natured, lovabale, huggable adult, look no further than Lady Bug. She has become a fast favorite among volunteers and staff due to her affectionate, laid-back attitude.
Yes, Lady Bug could shed a few pounds, and what better motivation to keep yourself active during the holiday season, too!
