EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!
Today, two more of our long-term residents found their forever homes after waiting for months and going through our basic obedience course at My Buddy K-9 Training under our assistant trainer, Makayla Robinson. LORENZO and MAXIMUS (formerly known as Matt Dillon) are both now with their new forever families and will continue to improve their training skills! They join the two others in our "training adoption club" along with CLEO and TOMMY BOY. We are so excited for all of our trainees as they happily venture into their new lives! And we thank their new owners for bringing them into their families. You all rock! 🙂 🙂 🙂
