Long Stay Alert! Punch Buggy has been with us MARCH with virtually no interest despite Doggie Day Outs with volunteers, promotions, etc. He was adopted as a pup back in 2023 after less than a month in the shelter, but finds himself looking for yet another forever home when that family moved and couldn't bring him with them. Now he's 4 y/o and no one expected he'd be here for 6 more months. Poor Punchy. 💔💔💔

If you're looking for a dog of dogs who just wants a warm bed and to help be your garden buddy, COME VISIT PUNCH BUGGY IN THE SHELTER any time we're open, Monday-Saturday, 11am-4pm. Visit our website to APPLY TO ADOPT! https://svasc.net
