Meet Socks

Add to favourites

Socks came to us as part of an unwanted litter. He has lived his first months as a free spirit, with his siblings, in the countryside. He does really well with other dogs and is slowly getting used to the city life. We believe he is partially house trained but has a long way to go in regards to general puppy training. Socks is a good natured boy that would do well in a home with no young children and a dog friendly canine would be a great bonus! He will need you to show him that the big city can be a fun place to be.

Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.
