Story
Chuck Barkowski is a sweet and lovable pup that wants to be with his people. He is about 6-7 years old. Even though he is healing a broken leg, he still likes to run and play with toys on his 3 good legs! He was bitten by a larger dog that attacked him, of no fault of his own. He gets along with other dogs well, and we have no reason to think he'd have a problem with cats. He has the perfect combination of playfulness and relaxation. He would make a great addition to any family. He loves to stay close to you, and wants to be loved on. He is neutered, dewormed, up to date on shots, and heartworm tested negative. HE IS HEALING WELL, AND HIS SPLINT COMES OFF IN A FEW MORE WEEKS. Adoption Fee: $250.00 + Tax Cash only Micro chip fee is $25.00 INTERESTED?
