My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Take this dog as he is useless to me..."
Those words are some we hear more often than not in the rescue world. We are completely full, but our hearts couldn't bear to say no to this sweet face. Who knows what might of happened after he walked back out that door with him.
Trapper came to us after he was bought for hunting and just wasn't doing his job. So he loaded him up in his truck, and he had to go. When asked if he vetted him or had any information.. his answer was a simple no. Trapper is in good hands now and will be fully vetted before going to his furever home.
Trapper is believed to be a 2-3 year old Patterdale Terrier mix. He is a sweet boy that is loving the attention here at the shelter. He needs a home with no cats. We are unsure at this time how he does with other dogs, so a meet and greet with potential dog siblings is a must. He would do well in a home with older children.
His adoption fee is $130. He will come current on his age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm tested and neutered.
