Update: Autumn was adopted on January 8th! Living just in the backyard is no good, especially for social animals like Autumn . We can only imagine her heartache at hearing her family indoors, seeing them through a sliding glass door, but not able to join them inside.

Autumn is a playful, loving young girl, spayed, a Labrador Retriever mix approximately 2 years of age. Please be patient with her as she adjusts to living predominantly indoors with you as a cherished member of the family.

Boxer knowledge and/or experience is preferred for Lola's adoption.  Please v...
