Prior to filling out an application, please read our Adoption Agreement

Davis

Davis is almost five years old. He is an attentive and sensitive boy. His coat is soft like velvet, and he enjoys his belly rubs greatly. Davis really likes to be around people, so a stay at home person would be best, but he would be okay with a doggie playmate to keep him company.
