Remington is such a friendly boy! He’s sweet as pie and we can’t figure out why nobody has chosen him yet. He’s lost weight because of the stress at the kennel. He is 35-45 pounds and small! This sweet baby boy is getting tired of living in a kennel. It’s a loud and lonely place to be growing up. He gets very excited when someone shows him attention and love. He is playful, good with other dogs, and is more than ready for you to pick him up. He is approximately 2 years old, neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on his shots, and is on flea and heartworm prevention.

Yuliia “Julia” Shpak and her husband, Vitale, were refugees of the war between Ukraine and Russia, a little over two years ago. They were able to relocate, along with their dog, to the United States through a website that provided them with a host family here in Union Springs. The Duvic family, Philip and Arnette, took them in and allowed them to stay in their guest house for as long as they needed.
