Meet Wonder

Body
This handsome little guy is so low to the ground, the vet says he is a cross between a corgi and a basset hound. But for sure he is high on companionship and ready to be your next furry buddy. Wonder likes children, but he would also be the perfect pet for a senior couple. He is not hyper, not a jumper and would love to be taken for a slowpaced walk. He is 1 ½ years old and appears to have had some training. He could also be a good companion pet for your current pet. Bring your canine to the shelter for a “test” drive. Up to date on shots, flea meds and neutered.
