The Rescue Round-Up
Second Chance Pet Adoption League Louis is a cute senior toy poodle found as a neglected stray and brought to an area shelter. He is a sweet little lapdog who loves attention and is good with most dogs. Louis is on medication for a heart condition, but is happy and energetic; he doesn’t know he’s sick. Little Louis is hoping for a special home that will love him for whatever time he has left. Leila is a very pretty, fluffy keeshond/collie/shepherd rescued from an area shelter. She is extremely shy and nervous with new people, but a loyal affectionate companion once she trusts you. She is housebroken and eager to please her person. These dogs and many more are available through Second Chance Pet Adoption of Oak Ridge. Call 973-208-1054 or visit their Web site at www.secondchance.petfinder.com for more information. Adoption days are every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains at 3009 Route 10 East in Morris Plains (Denville on GPS).
