Who doesn’t love this face? Our beautiful boy Bobby McGee is still looking for a home. He is putting on a little weight so he is about 35lbs. He loves other dogs but like to play rough. He has puppy qualities and needs to be in a home where he can learn what a family is. He is very treat motivated and will play with toys if you watch him. He is neutered and has his vaccines. The vet thinks he is just about a year old. If interested in meeting Bobby please call the shelter (203)924-2501 press 2
