Looking for someone to 

give a guy a chance!!!

This mixed breed lad is about three years old and has a beautiful brownish red colour. His stay at the shelter is beginning to stretch out, mainly because he obviously has some hound in him. However, looks can be deceiving and in this case are. Like all dogs, this poor guy is just looking for someone to love him, so that he can love them back. He has impressed everyone at the shelter with how well behaved and good natured he is and how much he wants to please. According to the shelter he is “one of the best behaved dogs  to be at the shelter in a very long time.”

For information please call the South Dundas Animal Shelter at 613-543-2980. There are no adoption charges, however, donations of food or cash (used to purchase food) are needed.  Donations of food, cash, bedding etc. from the public are also appreciated. New!!! Monetary donations can be made directly to the Municipality of South Dundas, 4296 Cty. Rd. 31, P.O. Box 160, Williamsburg ON K0C 2H0. They can also be dropped off at the municipal office or the Morrisburg Animal Hospital. Cheques MUST be ADDRESSED to the Township of South Dundas (NOT to the Shelter), but clearly marked for the “shelter”. Donations of $20 or more will receive tax receipts.
