Adoption Success Story:
Toughy finds a new home and a new name
My son and I adopted this dog in February of this year. He was a victim of
animal abuse and he had a scar around his neck. You guys had called him
"Toughy" but we call him "Duke." He has been a great addition to our family and
we love him dearly. I just wanted your staff who remember him to know
that he has a great home. Thank you for all you guys do.
