About Pappy

Pappy is one of the gentle souls from a group of nine small mixed-breed dogs rescued from a rural county shelter. Currently, he's a bit scared, still adjusting after being surrendered. These dogs have varied pasts, but Pappy clearly wants to love and be loved, despite his current uncertainty. He’s around 15 to 25 lbs, dog-friendly, and fits the small breed size. What he needs now is a patient and dedicated adopter who can provide him with the time and understanding to help him flourish. Pappy has already been neutered and vaccinated, which sets him on the path to a brighter future. Could you be the one to give him the loving home he deserves? APPLY TO ADOPT: finalvictoryrescue.com.
