Thank you for stopping to read about me! I came to the shelter a few months ago with my two siblings, and we were names after the cartoon characters, Alvin and the Chipmunks! We were all adopted out, but I have since been returned to the shelter since my adoptive family could no longer keep me. It was nothing that I did wrong. I am still a puppy, and will need some training (including potty training), but I know I will be a quick learner! I just need a forever home that will take the time to put me on a schedule, and teach me how to walk and have good puppy manners.
I love seeing the staff and volunteers at the shelter, but I sure would love to be part of your life. I will provide you with love and affection. Please come meet me and see if I might be a great fit for you!
