Do you know me?

This sweet little guy was found outside in the Wellington area along SunnyLea Road.

He’s an adult unneutered male with no microchip. He is all black with very small splash of white hairs on his chest and polydactyl (double paws) on the front.

Please share this post, and call us here at the clinic (902-861-4003).

Thank you!
