About Danny Boy

Danny Boy showed up in an alley in the Fairfield neighborhood and stayed in the same spot for a few days. A young couple of homeowners noticed him and fed him for a few days before putting out a call for help. He came to The Mutt House for a while, but has been in boarding for several months now. Danny Boy is a happy-go-lucky lad who wants nothing more than to please you and stare at you with adoration. He is HW- and still intact; The Mutt House will cover his neuter procedure.
