Quote Of The Week!

"Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people."

Pet of the Week

Meet Licorice Lo-Lo: A 2-year-old retriever, labrado/mix with a strong spirit!

 
She may be shy at first but once she opens up and you see her personality -- there's a bit sass!
 

What else is on her resume?
 
Lo-Lo seems to have too keen of interest in small animals. Her ideal home would be one where her fur friends are her size.

Let's help Lo-Lo find her fur-ever home!
Set up a meet and greet with Joint Animal Services.
