Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday in May. This holiday honors the men and women who never came home while serving in the United States military. This year it was held May 27.

This sweet little boy’s name is Po. He is just six months old. When he came into the shelter over a month ago, he was so scared and covered in parasites. He’s coming around to the staff and starting to show his puppy personality. Po is available for adoption and is in search of his forever home. He is heartworm negative and up to date on all shots, and will receive his one year rabies vaccination soon. Po is in need of a family that will give him the tender loving care he so deserves and doesn’t deserve to grow up in the shelter.
