Silver is a young, affectionate boy with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. This charming pup is dog-friendly and would thrive in a home with another canine companion to run and play with.
Silver is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, including a one-year rabies shot, and is on regular flea and heartworm prevention. His adorable face is sure to melt hearts, and he’s hoping that sharing his story on social media will help him find the perfect family.
