Introducing SABLE! This 7-year-
old chihuahua is in need of a
forever home. Sable is sweet,
loyal and loves her people once
she gets to know them. Sable
can get stressed by a lot of
commotion and would do best in
a quieter home, with no young
kids, where she can show her
true colors. If you have it in your
heart to adopt Sable, then come
meet her at the HSCO today!
