They should be in supportive homes with the people who can provide them with the proper love and attention they deserve. Please adopt this young pup so she can live her best life! Adoptions are FREE for the month of August. Visit us today or call 956-625-1860. Adoption Requirements: 1. Must be 18 + years of age 2. Valid ID - (Driver’s license, State Issued ID, or Passport) 3.
