About Sox

Sox just arrived from a high-intake shelter, bringing a fresh start and a lot of potential. While we’re still getting to know him, our team will be observing his behavior and personality over the coming days. Right now, he’s pending veterinary clearance before any interactions with other animals can occur. We’re also unsure about his status with house, crate, car, or leash training. If you’re thinking about adopting Sox, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Our process operates on a first-come, best-match basis, and we can’t hold animals. To ensure Sox is the right fit for you, we encourage all household members, including any pets, to meet him. If a match is found, we aim for same-day adoptions! Adoption fees cover spaying/neutering, a microchip, vaccinations, and more to help you get started on your journey together.
