ROSS Needs a Home!! ROSS was pulled from a shelter to avoid being euthanized and is in foster care in Ft. Davis. For many, many months he has been dreaming of the day that he can go home to his permanent family. One benefit of adopting from a foster arrangement is the opportunity for lots of info... ROSS is very good-natured, happy for outdoor activity and then to be a couch potato, loves people and gets along well with some dogs. He has shared a home with lots of other fosters dogs who have found their families, but will also be a great only dog. ROSS is great walking on a leash, riding in the car, splashing in his doggy pool, chasing after tennis balls (returning said balls, not so much), taking hikes and rolling on his back for belly rubs. He has an eager, impish personality that inspires big smiles. ROSS can travel to meet interested/approved adopters. ROSS is about 5 years old, neutered, microchipped, up to date on all his shots and hoping to meet you soon! For more info email mmwesttx@yahoo.com
