This Week's Featured Dog:

Lionel

Lionel

        Lionel is an Australian cattle dog mix who is on the mature side at 7 or so years-old.  Given his breed, known for its get-up-and-go, he is actually a quiet guy who will do better in a low energy home. He is a gentle sort and takes treats nicely. Lionel needs and deserves a warm and understanding home of his own. He reminds us of the saying comparing older dogs to old shoes: They’re a bit worn around the edges, but they fit so comfortably. Lionel will make someone a warm and comfortable companion.
