About Treasure

Treasure showed up at a family's doorstep as a stray and found a bit of luck when they took him in, but now, due to their own family illness, he needs somewhere permanent to land soon. He’s estimated around a year and a half to two years old, likely a Brittany mix blended with Cattle Dog and Boxer. This guy already knows his sit and stay, gets a kick out of pointing in the yard, and is happiest around people—car rides included. You’ll find him affable and eager for company. If you have a fenced yard and can provide a vet reference, Treasure is ready to fill the space in your home. He gets along with other dogs and is fully house trained. He’s vaccinated and waiting for a family before the colder months roll in. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
