PET OF THE WEEK
Humane Society of Central Oregon
541-382-3537
REMINGTON is a dashing
fellow who is patiently waiting
to fi nd his dream home. He is
an exciting, fun-loving pup and
would love a human just like
him! REMINGTON is a very
loving boy to folks who take the
time to get to know him. He is
a little wary of strangers, yet
quickly turns into a love bug
once he’s familiar with you. He
is happy to spend the day doing
whatever you’re doing, yet also
loves his walks and tennis ball
time. He will need an owner
who is dedicated to his needs
and will give him all the space,
playtime and love he could
ever want.
