WANNA BOOGIE?
BOOGIE is a 3 month-old heeler mix.  He's a typical working-dog-breed puppy: alert, athletic, and very cuddly, wiggly and playful.  This guy could do any job you give to him, even if that job is fetching a ball every day for a good amount of time, or learning to high five and roll over.  BOOGIE plays king of the mountain on a human lap, and is willing to share that lap with other pups.  He was found with his friend Peach, much smaller than him, and he treats her tenderly, so it's clear that BOOGIE will be a good friend to everyone. His $100 adoption fee includes sterilization, microchipping and all shots and vaccines. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located just east of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. All AAS animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com
