Wagsworth is the adoptable pet of the week! This 2-year-old boy loves toys, napping in the sun and running around. Wags is smiley and silly and looking for a family to cherish him in all his glory. He’s energetic but loves cuddles and pets, wanting nothing more than to be your best friend. He is a great leash walker, but can get quite excited when seeing squirrels. Wags is currently seeking someone to help him learn boundaries and that not everyone needs hugs and kisses when they enter the house. Wags has been in and out of the Animal Protection Society of Durham‘s foster program for about a year. Staff recommends slow intros with gentle dogs, and no cats. Visit Wagsworth’s webpage to learn more and fill out an application if you’re willing to provide him with toys and hugs!
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. To celebrate that, all dog adoption fees are $50!
