Pets of the Week – June 17, 2013 (Rowdy and Allie)
Allie
Rowdy’s luminous personality is a full 1,000 watts — he’s thrilled to see you 24/7, with a beaming smile and a full-body wag to prove it, but ask this lustrous 2-year-old black and white Retriever/mix to come back to his kennel after a race around the yard and he’ll politely oblige; and he’ll proudly show you how he can sit,

Pets of the Week – May 27, 2013 (Hoops and Nora)
Nora
