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.
